Hi Srikanth,

First of all XI 7.0 doesn't exist, it is PI 7.0, however PI 7.0 is like last versions of XI 3.0.

The new things in each version:

PI 7.31 is like PI 7,4. but optimized to run in SAP HANA. All the information that you have found about PI 7.31 is the same that PI 7.4. about SP there are a difference of 5, I mean, PI 7.4 SP 10 is like PI 7.31 15:

Features of PI 7.31 - Process Integration - SCN Wiki

If you want to check each SP you have this link What's New in SAP NetWeaver 7.4 (Release Notes) - SAP Library

Hi Srikanth,

My few cents:

1. PI 7.0 uses Adapter Engine (AE), PI 7.1 uses Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) and PI 7.4  (AE in dual system an Adapter Engine Extended (AEX) in single system).

In PI 7.1 and upper version you can work only at java level, even with ABAP stack. This is named Local Processing: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b8adc3-728c-2a10-7fad-d43f29074...

2. Adapters.

In PI 7.1 http and IDOC is in ABAP stack. In PI 7.4 you have these adapter in ABAP and Java stack.

SFTP is supported form PI 7.1 and upper.

Rest adapter comes with PI 7.4 SP 09.

I think if you go through the documents that i commented "What's new in PI XXX", you can find some examples of the improvements in each version.

Regards.
