Connect SAP ECC-R/3 and IBM AS/400

Connecting SAP ECC-R/3 and IBM AS/400 for a company could enable the transfer of data such as inventory, financial records, or order information between the two platforms. This connection would involve addressing differences in data formats, security protocols, and business process requirements to ensure reliable and accurate exchange of information.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP ECC-R/3 and IBM AS/400 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP ECC-R/3 and IBM AS/400?

A company operating both SAP ECC-R/3 and IBM AS/400 could consider connecting these systems to enable more efficient data exchange between their business processes. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same information in both systems, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and increased operational costs. When data is not synchronized, records in one system can become outdated or inconsistent compared to the other, resulting in business decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information. This situation can also make it difficult to track the status of transactions or inventory, and complicate reporting and compliance efforts. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of key business data such as customer records, order details, inventory levels, financial transactions, and production information, depending on the needs of the organization. The actual data that could be exchanged would depend on what each system makes available through its API or other integration points, and would need to be determined for each specific case.

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 SAP ECC-R/3 and IBM AS/400 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.
