Hi Faisal,

PI 7.1 is more advanced than XI 3.0:

PI 7.1 Features:

A new Enterprise Services Repository which can be used both at design time and run time. The repository is "high volume ready" and supports UDDI v3.0. The repository implements governance processes and offer a central visibility of the services and their artifacts. The repository is of course loaded with SAP’s enterprise services classification and enterprise services definitions.

Full support for the latest web services standards including WS-Policy, WS-TX and support for WS-ReliableMessaging (WS-RM).

Support for incoming message validation using XML Schema

Support for Events which are a key element of the product. It introduces the notion of Global Events available across all processes to be reacted upon.

Message bulking for asynchronous invocations has been introduced which helps throughput by a factor of 3 to 4.

Support for principal propagation which is a pre-requisite for building composite applications.

NWPI v7.1 is built on a JEE 5 foundation which helps memory consumption. However, it appears that NWPI does not support WS-BPEL (other than as an import format), BPEL4PEOPLE, SCA or SDO just yet.

Folders are introduced with the development tools in NW PI 7.1. Learn the pros and cons of using folders in PI 7.1 to organize projects and interfaces. XI 3.0 is the XI protocol valid for both SAP NetWeaver ´04 and SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

Hi Abdul,

Features added in Enterprise Services Reposiroty PI 7.1:

Service Interfaces.Service interfaces evolved out of

the message interfaces. Service interfaces have several new features, like, for example, the support for

different interface pattern and the option to create service interfaces with different operations.

Mapping enhancements.

In the mapping area, there are several enhancements. These are some of the most important ones:

You can use graphical variables during mapping design.

Mapping developers can use their own user-defined functions in message mappings in addition to the

standard functions. The ES Builder saves these functions in a local function library of the message mapping.

In lower releases, you were able to save and manage user-defined functions as part of one message mapping only.

You can now create function libraries independently of specific message mappings, and can use the functions you

define in them in multiple message mappings.

Correcting Structural Inconsistencies.

You can repair mappings after structure changes are introduced to an involved data type.

Enhancements for integration processes (ccBPM)

Thanks & Rewards,

Pragathi Batchu.
