Why teams connect IBM Netezza and Success Factors

Land the people and organization records from Success Factors in IBM Netezza as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Success Factors can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Success Factors is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in IBM Netezza next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Position, PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson from Success Factors into tables in IBM Netezza continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in IBM Netezza, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Success Factors where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync curated Netezza views into BI and finance reporting tools on a schedule.
  • 02 Consolidate data from multiple regional systems into central Netezza fact tables.
  • 03 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.
  • 04 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Success Factors's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in IBM Netezza for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in IBM Netezza gives you a durable, queryable record of how Success Factors's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

What you can sync between IBM Netezza and Success Factors

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 Netezza objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized views Precomputed results sometimes used as efficient read sources. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Materialized views is specific to IBM Netezza and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Key generators referenced when writing new rows. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Sequences is specific to IBM Netezza and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables File-backed load/unload paths used for bulk movement alongside row-level syncs. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. External tables is specific to IBM Netezza and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Databases is specific to IBM Netezza and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespace tables within a database. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Schemas is specific to IBM Netezza and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Distributed tables mapped directly to sync targets. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Tables is specific to IBM Netezza and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Netezza and Success Factors

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 Netezza Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls IBM Netezza for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors.

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

Success Factors IBM Netezza Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Netezza: Bounded by appliance or instance capacity and concurrency settings.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
