Why teams connect IBM Informix and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into IBM Informix so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM Informix.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Fields, Incidents, Service Requests, Problems from Sysaid into Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects, Stored procedures in IBM Informix and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 02 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 03 Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • 04 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Sysaid with a query

Records from Sysaid are ordinary rows in IBM Informix; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM Informix and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Assets to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Companies to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Custom Fields to Sysaid — 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. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Incidents to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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 Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.
