HI
The newest release of SAP XI was released in the 4th quarter of 2007. It is now called PI (Process Integration) 7.1.
Historically, SAP upgrades consists of large, comprehensive releases that compel companies to upgrade in order to take advantage of new functionalities. PI 7.1 is brimming with new functionalities and these are the business benefits:
u2022strategic u2013 business innovation and synchronized information improves decision pure technology upgrade and/or retrofit of custom modifications into new standard making
u2022functional u2013 process improvement leads to improved productivity
u2022technical u2013functionality
The mission of SAP PI 7.1 is to provide ONE integration platform for all types of business -- SAP and non-SAP, A2A, B2B, BPM, service enabling and BAM. It saves operational costs and enable process transparency for all scenarios and leverage open systems.
The purpose of SAP PI is not to reinvent, but to leverage the investments you made
into your existing integration landscape and arrive at your new service enabled
landscape in an evolutionary manner.
Some of the Key Features areEnterprise Service Repository (ESR)
SAP has developed a comprehensive approach and a wide range of tools to support the service identification process and is business driven with a high degree of partner participation. The business drivers in focus are :
business process automation
business process innovation
user efficiency and deployment flexibility
SAP refers to this set as the inventory of enterprise services. The inventory is known as Enterprise Services Inventory. The Enterprise Services Inventory is an integral part of the Enterprise SOA (eSOA) strategy. It provides the enterprise services to fulfill business needs. The tools supporting the inventory is the Enterprise Service Repository (ESR).
This is based on the Integration Repository and is the design time repository of service object for ESA. The advantages of having this central repository include
Orderly development
Reuse of existing data and leverage existing investment
Ease of development
Model driven development
Service orchestration
The Services Registry is the UDDI part of the ESR which enables service consumers to find services.
Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture (eSOA)
eSOA in PI 7.1 addresses the shortcoming of the previous XI architecture. It provides the foundation needed to create a modernized and responsive technology environment. The typical SOA approach tends to focus exclusively on the technology framework and neglect the larger business process. A combined focus on both application and infrastructure is something that SAP provides called Enterprise SOA (eSOA). It is SOA plus Enterprise Services which enables partners and customers to plug in reusable application snippets and enable flexibility within business processes.
It is a business-driven software architecture that increases adaptability, flexibility, openness and cost efficiency. This architecture elevates the design, composition and management of Web services to address enterprise requirements.
Major mapping enhancements as well as reusability of user defined functions across mappings. It supports the use of parameters in mapping programs which gives it more flexibility and applicability by allowing the transfer of values at configuration time. Currently, parameterized mappings are supported in Message, Java and XSLT mappings.
Folders concepts are introduced as an additional option to organize projects and interfaces. It is available in both the Enterprise Service Repository (ESR) and the Integration Directory (ID).
Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) is the evolution of the Adapter Engine (AE) as known in previous releases. Its capabilities are:
u2022It enables for end-to-end message processing without any help from the Integration Engine (IE) during runtime.
u2022It increases message processing speed and throughput by reducing latencies and resource onsumption (both memory and processing time)
u2022It is available both centrally (i.e. with installation and instance of IS) and non-centrally
u2022Its features supports high volume and becomes the cornerstone of customers SOA strategy.
Point-to-Point (P2P) u2013 PI 7.1 provides a tool and infrastructure to centrally design, configure and support P2P connection. Message types and interface can be designed in the Enterprise Services (ES) Repository without going through the Integration Engine (IE). Connection configurations and communication channels can be done in the Integration Directory (ID) and configuration objects are automatically propagated to the backend business systems.
Additional Web Service (WS) standards such as UDDI, WS-BPEL and tasks, WS-RM which provides WS reliable messaging, policy, security and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) which is an XML standard for exchanging authentication and authorization between security domains.
WS-RM (Web Service-Reliable Messaging) is an open WS standard for asynchronous messaging (EO, EOIO). Its purpose is to create a generic and open model for ensuring reliable message delivery for Web Services. It is supported via its own entry through the Integration Engine (IE) and not through the adapter engine. Other vendors, like Microsoft and IBM, supports WS-RM.

Hi,
PI 7.1 will be in rampup then - not global availibility
when it will be available you will get an upgreade guide as always
Currently PI 7.0 is only available for real time implementation. You could have the version of PI 7.1 from SDN, but that not for the real time implementation. Its limited only for individual usage.
There is huge difference between PI 7.0 and PI 7.1.
1. PI 7.0 is the part of Netweaver 2004s and PI 7.1 is key entity in eSOA.
2. PI 7.1 have various mapping Enhancements as well as reusability of UDFs across the mappings etc. which is not available in PI 7.0
/people/william.li/blog/2008/01/02/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-share-user-defined-functions
3. PI 7.1 comes with the concept of folders for more flexibale and Organized way of developements.
/people/william.li/blog/2007/08/07/using-folders-in-pi-71 -- Folders in PI 7.1
4. Advanced adapter engine is used in PI 7.1, which have overcome the various communication related limitations of previous versions
*******************************************************************************
New highlights for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 are:
Enterprise Services Repository as a central storage location for enterprise service definitions and lifecycle management data for all enterprise services
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) 3.0compliant services registry for runtime management of enterprise services
Improved support for standards such as Web Service Reliable Messaging (WS-RM), WS Policy, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
Extended support for high volume scenarios
Business Activity Monitoring for process definition of milestone monitoring (event correlation)
Improved SAP NetWeaver Administrator support for central configuration and administration of both mediated and point-to-point scenarios
Further functional enhancements include:
XML payload validation
Process editor modeling enhancements: step groups, integrated alert management, configurable parameters
Integration of human interaction (generic user decision)
WS-BPEL 2.0 preview
The message server and the enqueue server can be separated from the central instance (CI) to the ABAP SAP Central Services Instance (ASCS) in the ABAP stack
also (recommended)
In SAP NetWeaver 7.1 ,Only ASCS is supported
SAP has changed the signatures of the relevant Java classes,So in these cases the Java coding effort should only be "mere syntax check".
1. PI 7.0 is the part of Netweaver 2004s and PI 7.1 is key entity in eSOA.
2. PI 7.1 have various mapping Enhancements as well as reusability of UDFs across the mappings etc. which is not available in PI 7.0
3. PI 7.1 comes with the concept of folders for more flexibale and Organized way of developements.
4.Advanced adapter engine is used in PI 7.1, which have overcome the various communication related limitations of previous versions
5.High Volume support in PI 7.1
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 (SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1)
You can use the ES Repository and Registry with SAP NetWeaver PI and take full advantage of the process integration capabilities of SAP NetWeaver. With the ES Repository, you can start modeling your business process and designing your interfaces, data types and mappings for the message exchange. The Integration Directory and Integration Server that are also available with SAP NetWeaver PI, enable you to configure and to run your business process in your individual system landscape.
SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 (SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1)
SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 offers full service provisioning capabilities, also for those who need to work with a lean development environment and do not focus on process integration. For those customers, the ES Repository and Registry offers capabilities for service provisioning and consumption
Please reward points if it helps

PI 7.1 is based on Enterprise SOA which has many features than existing PI 7.0.
1) Integration Repository is replaced by Enterprise Service Repository which consists of Enterprise Process Builder and Services registery.
2) Advanced Adapter Engine
Using this Mapping and routing can be done in Adapter engine and Bypassing Intergration Engine so it reduces process time
3) Function Libraries
All the user defined functions are stored in function libraries and can be accessed easily.
4) Direct Connection
It is provided in Integration Directory and supports direct connection between sender and receiver through Integration server.
5) Mapping Enhancements
it supports Parameter Mapping i.e, you can use parameters in Mapping program and provide values in runtime
6) Validation of data
In sender agreement you have a option to validate the Incoming data so this helps to Improve efficiency.
7) Message Interfaces are replaced by Service Interfaces
A service interface can perform many operations and here after we do not see term Interface mapping it is called Operation Mapping.
There are many new features available in ccBPM.
PI 7.1 is the best.

is it going to be mandatory for XI/PI consultants to be used to of this new version of PI7.1
To get acquainted with the latest move of SAP towards SOA, PI 7.1 will be very helpful. We should not call it mandatory ut rather its based on individual's interest for the integration path shown by SAP. PI7.1 has many advantages over PI7 which u ll get in various links soon. So understand its applicability on real world scenarios is more imp.
