Newbie question : ESR content vs XI content?

[Former Member]

Hello SDN,

Can anyone help me understand the difference between "ESR Content" and "XI content"?

As per my understanding, both XI content and ESR content includes mapping objects, service definitions, u2026, content to be imported into the Integration repository. It seems to me that u201CESR contentu201D applies to NW 7.1 usage type PI as opposed to u201CXI contentu201D, which applies to NW 7.0 usage type PIu2026???

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Nathalie

Hi Nathalie,

If you look in the services marketplace site the XI content is referred as ESR XI content, and the Term ESR is added in some of the places .

To my knowledge , i think this addition is to emphasis the services oriented approach capabilities that PI 7.1 has gifted.

There are XI content for SRM, ESR which have the ready to use service interfaces. once you import the content (.tpz)

the proxies get created by its own in backed ABAP system which we can use a service using soamanager.

in my openion,

ESR content may refer to the contenct like SWCVs that can be imported in IR (7.0) or ESR (7.1)

XI Content can include IR Content, and also ID content like exported configuration_scenarios.tpz etc.

Hello Nathalie!

The ESR content is sure for the PI 7.1, which imports its content to the Integratio Builder.

The XI content is for the older version of XI, just like 7.0, just like you said, which also imports the content such as mapping, etc...
