PI 7.0 vs PI 7.1

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

my customer is planning to implement SAP PI next weekend and we are hesitating about which version to use, 7.0 or 7.1.

Could you please provide some pros and cons about these two?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

David

hi

There are many diffrence in PI and PI7.1

1. Core data Type concept.

2. Message interface become service interface.

3.IR become ESR

4.XML Validation option avilable at Adapter Engine(File would be picked if valid,this can be checked on Adapter Engine)

5.Interface Pattern is avilable.

HI,

thanks for your information.

Is there any info that support of PI7.0 will stop in end 2009 ?

Hi,

guess it's better decide for 7.1. You will have more features and don't need to update from 7.0 to 7.1 someday.
