What is an “API”?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is “a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building software and applications.” (Wikipedia)
In contrast to a user interface, which connects a computer to a person, an application programming interface connects computers or pieces of software to each other.
API Development for SX.enterprise Integration
In 2006, Grey Wolf started the development of SX APIs for integration with SX.enterprise system. Over time, those APIs have grown and matured into over 150 APIs in the “pool.”
The architecture for Grey Wolf’s APIs is consistent across all ERP systems. A piece of software loaded on the SX enterprise system with access to that software from the Grey Wolf Connector server in our secure datacenter.
Unified API Services with Custom Options for ERP Systems
While there are different APIs for each ERP, the web services are standardized across all subscription users. This ensures consistent results from a standard environment.
In the case of custom ERP modifications, Grey Wolf is able to create custom APIs that are then isolated from the standard environment. This ensures consistency while supporting unique customer requirements.

Your questions, answered.
How are APIs and Web Services different?
APIs define the methods and data structures for software interaction, while web services are a specific type of API that works over a network (usually HTTP).
How does Grey Wolf integrate with on-premise ERP systems like SX.enterprise?
Grey Wolf installs a small piece of software on the ERP server (or a server with SQL access). This software connects securely to the Grey Wolf Connector server to manage the APIs and web services.
Can the Grey Wolf SX Connector co-exist with Infor’s API?
Yes, they can! Grey Wolf’s SX Connector and Infor’s API run independently. Since Grey Wolf operates as its own application server.
Can Grey Wolf customize APIs for clients with modified ERP environments?
Yes. Grey Wolf creates custom APIs when needed. These are isolated from the standardized set to preserve consistency across customers.
Are all customers using the same web services?
Yes, unless custom APIs are required. The standard environment is shared by all subscribers to ensure uniform results and simpler support.
Does Grey Wolf Support hybrid or mixed ERP environments?
Yes. Our architecture is designed to work across different types of ERP systems (on-prem, hosted, cloud), supporting various technical configurations.
What is the difference between the Lite and Full Versions of the API Connectors?
Use the Lite version API Connector for any Grey Wolf application (e.g., Partner Connect, Keystone). Use the Full version for any applications that are third-party or custom in-house. Essentially, you will need the Full Version for anything but Grey Wolf applications.
How are updates to API pools deployed across customer environments?
We manage all API updates centrally through the Grey Wolf server in our secure datacenter. Customers using on-prem ERP systems (SX, P21) do not need to update anything locally unless there is a change to the Connector software itself.

API Development and Integration with Epicor P21 Systems
In 2016, Grey Wolf started the development of P21 APIs for integration with the Prophet 21 system. Over time, those APIs have grown and matured into over 90 APIs in the “pool.”
Prophet 21 in an on-premise environment allows Grey Wolf to install our own APIs to create the integration.
The customer installable download puts a small set of files on the P21 server (or another server with SQL access) that the Grey Wolf web services will communicate with to make the connections.

Is there a difference between Connectors for P21 and P21 Cloud?
Grey Wolf built the P21 Connector using their own APIs. The P21 Cloud Connector relies on Epicor’s Middleware Server APIs.
Are all customers using the same web services?
Yes, unless custom APIs are required. The standard environment is shared by all subscribers to ensure uniform results and simpler support.

API Development for SyteLine Integration
Recently, Grey Wolf has begun development on a comprehensive suite of APIs designed specifically to integrate with the Infor SyteLine ERP platform.
Using Infor IDO Technology for SyteLine
Grey Wolf’s SyteLine Connector utilizes Infor’s IDO to enable read and write functionality to SyteLine. As a “wrapper” around the IDOs this enables consistency with other Grey Wolf Connectors and an intuitive architecture for both Grey Wolf and third party developers.
