Hi,

PI 7.1 is based on open, web service enabled standards and Integrate all SAP and non-SAP, A2A, B2B, BPM,& service enabling.

After upgrading to PI 7.1 ( Advantages )

• All objects in the Integration Repository (IR - Design) are available in the Enterprise SOA Repository (ESR) and can be used without any changes.

• The Integration Directory (ID - Configuration) will not be affected at all ( Where we declare the Sender /Receiver Adapters ).

• Mappings (graphical mapping, XSLT, Java mapping and ABAP mapping) will execute without any change

The Changes required for / after migrating to PI 7.1 from XI 3.0

• Need to Migrate System to 64 bit OS before upgrade PI 7.1 will not support 32 bit OS

• Customer Adapters and Adapter modules have to be adjusted and redeployed ( To my knowledge we are not using any Customer Adapter & Adapter Module in 1 UP Project )

• Java Proxies have to be redeployed because JAVA JVM is installed during upgrade and JAVA JDK not supported at all in PI 7.1 ( To my knowledge we are not using any Customer Adapter & Adapter Module in 1 UP Project )

Advantages in PI 7.1

• Process Automation Enterprise Services Repository as a central storage location for enterprise service definitions and lifecycle management data for all enterprise services

• Enhanced Design Capabilities

• Service Enabling & Services Registry u2013UDDI V3.0 Additional compliant services registry for runtime management of enterprise services

• Web Service Standards,Web Service Reliable Messaging, Web Service Policy & Security

• High Volume Support & Local processing in Adapter Engine ,Message packaging

• Improved performance for ccBPM /BPM

• using the Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) in SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1, much higher numbers of messages can be reached.Even better results can be achieved for asynchronous scenarios

• PI 7.1 are the services based on service interfaces. These services can be configured with the help of the SOA Manager

Enterprise Services Builder and Integration Builder run on top of Javau2122 2 Standard Edition 5.0 (J2SE 5.0) which includes Javau2122 Webstart. Hence need to install the java 5.0 runtime in your system
