Why teams connect IBM Informix and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready 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: Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Databases, Tables, Rows, Views 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 Databases, Tables, Rows, Views in IBM Informix with Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready 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 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable Databases, Tables, Rows, Views 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.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees replicate into IBM Informix where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Ukg Ready

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 Ready objects How this pairing syncs
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — 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. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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 Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
