Why teams connect IBM Informix and Snapfulfil

Give your engineers Snapfulfil's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Inventory balances, Shipments, Warehouse locations, Returns from Snapfulfil into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Snapfulfil is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into Snapfulfil with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • 02 Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • 03 Keep inventory balances aligned between the WMS, the ERP, and selling channels to prevent oversells
  • 04 Sync the item master from the ERP so new SKUs are receivable in the warehouse immediately

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM Informix back into Snapfulfil, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Snapfulfil live in IBM Informix as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Snapfulfil interface, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Snapfulfil

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Informix objects Snapfulfil objects How this pairing syncs
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Purchase orders / ASNs Inbound expectations that drive receiving and putaway. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Purchase orders / ASNs to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Items (SKUs) The item master, usually sourced from the ERP or storefront. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Items (SKUs) to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Inventory balances On-hand and allocated stock, read back to keep the ERP and selling channels accurate. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Inventory balances to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Shipments Dispatch confirmations with carrier and tracking details returned to the order source. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Shipments to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Warehouse locations Bin and zone structure referenced by stock and movement records. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Warehouse locations to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Returns Inbound customer returns processed back into stock or quarantine. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Returns to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Snapfulfil

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

IBM Informix Snapfulfil Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Snapfulfil through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Snapfulfil IBM Informix Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Snapfulfil for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, subject to the platform's API rate limits.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Informix as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
  • Snapfulfil: Specific quotas are not publicly standardized; treat throughput as instance-dependent.
