infoConnect Hub: The Standalone REST API Gateway for IBM i/AS400 Systems​​​​

Deploy infoConnect Hub Directly on IBM i, Cloud, or On-Premise—No Middleware Required

Unlike connector-based integration tools that depend on a middleware platform, infoConnect Hub operates as a standalone server component. It can be deployed directly on the IBM i, on-premise infrastructure, or any cloud environment i.e. AWS, Azure, or GCP. There is no requirement for MuleSoft, Kafka, or any third-party integration layer to get IBM i programs running as REST APIs.

Expose IBM i Programs, Data Queues, and DB2 Operations Through a Single REST API Interface

infoConnect Hub provides a REST API interface for the most common IBM i operations: program and service program calls, command calls, and bidirectional data queue read and write. DB2 data replication is also supported. This covers the full range of business logic and data access patterns that IBM i teams typically need to surface for external applications, commerce channels, CRM systems, and cloud platforms.

Achieve Real-World IBM i REST API Use Cases through infoConnect Hub

Organizations use infoConnect Hub across a variety of use cases, from ERP and WMS systems to Commerce and CRMs. Just a few examples include exposing stock balances and fulfillment details from IBM i ERP systems to e-commerce channels, pushing order status changes to CRM or third-party partners, propagating product data to external MDM and PIM platforms, and sending customer records to customer data platforms. Each scenario requires no manual API development, the Hub handles the REST interface layer entirely.

Flexible Proof of Concept Models​​​​

A trial license will be provided to teams interested in evaluating the infoConnect Hub solely in house. The Infoview team will supply installation documentation and is available if questions arise or assistance is needed.

For a short period of time (around 40 hours) a consultant can be allocated to review the POC scope, address questions, provide feedback, and participate in development and testing for Hub and IBM i components. For this approach, the scope would be small and include 1-2 simplified scenarios.

After receiving the required information, the Infoview product team will create a use case within our own sandbox environment and demonstrate it once complete. The aim of this approach is to assist parties who have been interested in the infoConnect Hub, but may not have the time to conduct and allocate in-house resources for the POC process

Our team would implement the desired use cases including full alignment with your team’s integration and IBM i development guidelines. The result would entail working integrations deployed to production in addition to knowledge transfer sessions with the client team members who would take ownership of the implemented components and integrations.
