Hi,

You must have known that SAP has bought Business Objects company in 2007. Business Objects has a tool by name XI (Crystal reports).

So, to avoid confusion in names of two if its products/tools, sap has renamed XI to PI.

Also, all the things that Raja has mentioned are valid too.

It was a name change that is apt.

Hi Vemu ,

There is no special reson to name SAP Middleware as Exchange Infrastructure i guess,why they changed name to Process Integration from 7.0 is if you see architecture of SAP NEtweaver there are three components people Integration and information Integration and Process Integration.

previously Process Integration block we called as exchnage infrastructure,but SAP started calling Process Integration only.

Process Integration block contains Integration Broker and Bussiness process management.
