Why teams connect IBM Informix and Ukg Pro

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: IBM Informix and Ukg Pro share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Pro is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. IBM Informix is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details) in Ukg Pro need to exist as queryable Tables, Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects in IBM Informix before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects in IBM Informix with Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details) in Ukg Pro field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Pro typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • 02 Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • 03 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.
  • 04 Keep Configuration code tables (jobs, locations, departments, cost centers) aligned between UKG Pro and an ERP so org and cost-center hierarchies match.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in IBM Informix write onto the matching record in Ukg Pro where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Pro land as queryable Tables, Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects in IBM Informix, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Ukg Pro

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 Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — 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. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Ukg Pro

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

Ukg Pro IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
