Why teams connect Servicemax and TiDB

Mirror Servicemax's data into TiDB 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 Servicemax 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 TiDB.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Products from Servicemax into Sequences, Databases, Tables, Views in TiDB 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 Servicemax, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate Service Contracts and entitlement data into a warehouse for renewal forecasting and SLA compliance dashboards.
  • 02 Mirror Accounts and Contacts between ServiceMax and the CRM system of record so customer and site data stays consistent.
  • 03 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 04 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

Common sync patterns

Read Servicemax with a query

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

Automate Servicemax from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in TiDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Servicemax, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Servicemax arrive as row changes in TiDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Servicemax and TiDB

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.

Servicemax objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Stock History is specific to Servicemax and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Standard Salesforce Account; customer and site company records; synced two-way with CRM and database customer tables. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Accounts is specific to Servicemax and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Standard Salesforce Contact; people linked to Accounts and service sites; synced with CRM and support person records. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Contacts is specific to Servicemax and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cases Standard Salesforce Case; support records that often precede a Work Order; synced with help desk tools and reporting databases. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Cases is specific to Servicemax and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Standard Salesforce Product2; catalog of serviceable products and spare parts referenced by Installed Products and Work Details. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Products is specific to Servicemax and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Orders SVMXC__Service_Order__c; the core field-service job record for install, repair, and maintenance; synced two-way with databases and pushed to ERPs at close. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Work Orders is specific to Servicemax and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Servicemax and TiDB

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.

Servicemax TiDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

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

TiDB Servicemax Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
