ES Repository vs. our good old Integration repository?

[Former Member]

As mentioned in my blog, I am posting a set of questions on ESR in this forum as an interesting way of sharing relevant information with the community. In the true spirit of forums, the one who answers the question is rewarded!

What are the differences between the ES Repository and our good old Integration Repository?

Hi,

ok let me give it a try - I can list down some of the new features of ESR over the old IR :

1) ESR has the ARIS for SAP Netweaver integrated where process component models can be developed

2) We have Business Objects in ESR (which were not present in IR). These BO has CRUD operations called the core services combining which the compound services are modeled

3) There is no more Message Interfaces but Service Interfaces only

4) Unlike the Enterprise Services developed using the IR (NW 7.0) now Enterprise Service interfaces developed in ESR can have multiple operations.

5) ESR has a UDDI registry provided by SAP where the Enterprise Services developed in ESR can be directly published.

Thanks,

Dipankar

Few More:

1. We can create alerts in ESR directly.

2. Many new enhancements in the Message Mapping. (UDF Library)

3. Data Type enhancement for using the standard data types provided by SAP.

Thanks
