Connect SAP and IBM DB2

Connecting SAP and IBM DB2 for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of business data between the two platforms. This could support activities such as data consolidation, reporting, and process automation by allowing information managed in SAP to be accessed or updated in IBM DB2, or vice versa, according to business requirements.

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

Why connect SAP and IBM DB2?

A company that operates both SAP and IBM DB2 could consider connecting these systems to improve business efficiency and accuracy. If the two systems remain isolated, staff may need to manually enter the same data into each, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and inconsistent records. Over time, discrepancies could arise as updates in one system are not reflected in the other, resulting in decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. For organizations using SAP for enterprise resource planning and IBM DB2 as a database platform, exchanging data between the two could help ensure that business processes and reporting are based on current, unified information. The types of data that could be shared depend on the specific business processes involved, but could include master data such as customer or supplier records, transactional data like orders or invoices, and inventory or financial data. What can actually be exchanged is determined by the APIs and interfaces each system provides, and needs to be assessed for each individual 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 SAP 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.
