General introduction to PI 7.1

Hello,

I am looking for a general introduction to PI 7.1 or even to PI / XI in general.

It should include the basics as well as a general overview over PI scenarios and examples of which steps to take with mappings etc. for maybe combining two systems in a synchronous process. Something easy to understand for starters.

If you know about any fitting documentation please let me know.

Hi,

Features added in PI 7.1:

1. Integration Repository has been evolved out as Enterprise Services Repository.

2. Message Interface has been named as Service Interface:

Added features in Service Interface:the support for different interface pattern and the option to create service interfaces with different operations.

3. Interface Mapping has been changed as Operation Mapping :You can use graphical variables during mapping design.
