1.All new features for XI 7.0 are almost same as for XI 3.0 at least till SPS 19.
Some differences are as follows:
• Adapter Enhancements like JMS, JDBC, Oracle-JDBC and CIDX Enhancements
• New Conversion Agent,
• Receiver Determination Enhancements
• Multi mapping
• User defined enhancements
• Unbounded Processes (Integration Processes).
2. One more difference is the ABAP stack (which is 7.0 and not 6.40) but from the developer point of view there is nothing new.
3. PI 7.0 = XI 7.0
4. For each SP in XI3.0 there is a corresponding SP being released for PI (XI 7.0). A comparison of the service packs in 2004 and 2004s:
In 2004 - In 2004s
SP12 & lower = SP04
SP13 + 14 = SP05
SP15 = SP06
SP16 = SP07
SP17 = SP08
SP18 = SP09
5. XI3.0 is based on WAS(web application server)6.40 - NW2004
PI7.0 is based on WAS(web application server)7.0 - NW2004's
as far as possible there is not much of difference between XI 3.0 with latest Service Pack i.e. 20 or 21 and PI 7.0
The main difference between 3.0 and 7.0 is the GUI in SLD. But, it is pretty easy to adopt. All other components, e.g. IR, ID, RWB, should virtually be identical.
7.0 also contain some SCM contents not available from 3.0. For most of us, this is a non-issue.
In 7.0 we can schedule a background job and edit the payload.
XI3.0 is based on WAS(web application server)6.40 - NW2004
PI7.0 is based on WAS(web application server)7.0 - NW2004's
Currently SP 21 for XI 3.0 and SP12 for PI 7.0 is the latest one.
