Hi Muralidhar Karnati ,

SAP NWPI v7.1 is designed to cover all integration needs for SAP or non SAP customers.

The new functionality provided by NWPI v7.1:

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.

PI 7.1 has

1) Enhanced Graphical Mapping Environment.

2) Advanced Adapter Engine, that would be as mammoth as the Integration Engine itself J but with an improved performance.

Thanks and Regards,
