Connect Intershop and IBM DB2

Connecting Intershop and IBM DB2 for a company could enable direct data exchange between the e-commerce and database platforms. This could support centralized management of product, inventory, or transaction data, reduce manual entry, and facilitate reporting or analytics by ensuring that both systems have access to consistent and up-to-date information.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Intershop and IBM DB2 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Intershop and IBM DB2?

A company operating both Intershop and IBM DB2 could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient data exchange and reduce operational friction. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data into both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Over time, records in each system could drift apart, resulting in inconsistencies that make it difficult to trust reports or make timely business decisions. For example, sales, inventory, or customer information could become outdated in one system, leading to decisions based on incomplete or stale data. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of records such as product details, sales transactions, customer profiles, and inventory levels, depending on the business processes in place. This could help ensure that both systems reflect the same information and support more reliable reporting and analysis. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system allows through its API and must be determined for each situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Intershop and IBM DB2 make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
