API Connectors
What is an “API”?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is “a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building software and applications.” (Wikipedia).
What is a “Web Service”?
Web Services are “a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network.” (W3C). They have even been called Web API by some.
API Development and Architecture 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. There is 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.
SX Connector is a web service that is consumed by your code or by a Grey Wolf application.

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.
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.
P21 API Development and Integration with Epicor P21 system
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.
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.
CSD Web Services development for CloudSuite Distribution Integration
In 2019, Grey Wolf started the development of CSD Connector for integration with CloudSuite Distribution. Over time, those Web Services have grown and matured into over 50 connections in the “pool.”
Using Infor ION API with CSD Web Services for CloudSuite Distribution
CloudSuite Distribution is an Infor hosted ERP. Since Infor does not allow any third party software on their hosted server, Grey Wolf is required to use Infor’s ION APIs. The CSD Web Services provided by Grey Wolf become the interface to those APIs.

P21 Cloud Web Services Development for Epicor Prophet 21 Integration
In 2019, Grey Wolf started the development of P21 Cloud Web Services for integration with the Prophet 21 system. Over time, those APIs have grown and matured into over 30 APIs in the “pool.”
Integrating with Prophet 21 Cloud using Epicor API
Prophet 21 Cloud is an Epicor hosted ERP. Since Epicor does not allow any third party software on their hosted server, Grey Wolf is required to use Epicor’s APIs. The webservices provided by Grey Wolf become the interface to those APIs.
