Hi,
The biggest difference between 2.0 and 3.0 is that the ccBPM process flow functionality was introduced in 3.0. Also, 2.0 only had the standalone J2EE adapters, where 3.0 added the J2EE adapter framework. There are numerous other additions and enhancements as well, but these are the major ones (in my experience, at least).
Also go thru this, it has lots of information-about XI 2.0, XI 3.0 and PI
PI 7.0
There is no new features added in PI7.0, if u have working on XI 3.0, PI7.0 Older versions the features same..
But PI7.1 there is new changes u can find below.....
Integarte SAP & Non-SAP Legacy system
PI 7.1 is based on open, web service enabled standards and
Integrate all SAP and non-SAP, A2A, B2B, BPM, service enabling and BAM
Highlight of enhancement in PI7.1
1) Enterprise Service repository (ESR) contains the design Registry
2) Includes significant high-volume message processing is supported by message processed in a single
Service call
3) Also importantly support for asynchronous messaging based Reliable Messaging (WS-RM) for both
Brokered communication between two systems will be supported in this release.
4) Provide Service Registry benefits based on UDDI 3.0
Enterprise Service Repository
In PI7.1 ES Repository is at the heart of Enterprise SOA
ES Repository is really the master data repository of service objects for Enterprise SOA
It contains the definition & process of services
In ES Repository has two parts, one is the ES Repository and the other being the Services Registry
ES Repository (ESR) is really the master data repository of service objects for Enterprise SOA
Besides service definition the ES Repository also provides you with a central point for finding and
Managing service metadata from different sources, including application deployments - this is
Where the Services Registry comes in. The Services Registry is the UDDI part of the ESR which
Enables service consumers to find services
The SAP XI Integration Repository used by process integration has become the basis of the central Enterprise Service Repository: powering Enterprise SOA and Service Enablement.
Objects in the ES Repository include:
Global Data Types (CCTS based)
Process Component Models
Executable Integration Processes (BPEL)
Integration Scenarios
Service Interfaces (Enterprise Services)
Interface Mappings
Enterprise Services built in the ES Repository
Enterprise Services includes:
Are built using a consistent enterprise model based on: GDTs, Process Components, and Business Objects.
Are based on open standards.
Are mapped to the Service Interface object in the ES Repository.
Global Data Types - Building blocks for Service Interfaces
Defined in the ES Repository
Defined company-wide based on open standards (ISO 15000-5, UN/CEFACT CCTS)
Reusable semantic building blocks for service interfaces and message types
Process Component Models
Drill down from high-level models to service interfaces and operations
Process component architecture models enable SOA governance
Process components expose on enterprise services, which are based on service operations
Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM)
Asynchronous messaging (EO, EOIO) based on open WS standard
Support Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)
Embedded Event Infrastructure: Collecting, pre-filtering and publication of events across SAP and non-SAP systems.
Event handling: cast the local event to an event proxy to send out event messages to event Consumers.
Transaction SWF_BAM for event filtering via filter rules and event handling.
Enhancement for Mapping
Re-usable user defined functions.
Look-up function reads multiple fields.
Synchronous DB RFC lookups: Use graphical function to model look-ups.
Specify mapping parameters at configuration time.
Principle Propagation based on SAML
This feature uses the WS-RM protocol.
The implementation of this feature is based on the open standard SAML and can
be used with backend systems that support the SAML technology.
Forward user context from sender to receiver.
Authorization check in receiving system based on original user.
Support BAM Milestone Modeling (BPEL)
Sub-Process Calls: Integration Process Call,
User Interaction: User Decisions (initially not part of this project, but will be covered as well to draw the complete picture),
Alert Categories
Enhancements for Process Automation
Human interaction:
Integration paradigm (design/ configuration).
Generic user decision.
Language dependent texts for end-user display, enriched with variables.
WS-BPEL 2.0 adoption: Preview and implementation BPEL4People, BPEL-SPE Simple user defined functions can be configured directly in the process.
Thanks

HI
Features in SAP XI 3.0
Standards-based process integration: SAP XI enables the integration of collaborative processes across multiple application components and enterprise boundaries. Processes are integrated using standards-based XML messaging.
Integration knowledge management u2013 Integration knowledge ranging from design time to configuration time is stored and managed in a central integration repository and integration directory. This includes information about interface schema, required mappings, business scenarios, and business processes.
Prepackaged integration content u2013 SAP solutions based on SAP NetWeaver use SAP XI to model cross-components business processes and scenarios. Interface schema and required mapping are defined along the way.
Cross-component BPM u2013 It has cross component business processes and scenarios modeling which allows you to drive and control complex business processes across business applications and enterprise boundaries. SAP XI covers the full process life cycle, including design, automation, execution, and monitoring. The collaboration knowledge in SAP XI allows you to describe integration processes from a top-down, high-level perspective, rather than having to hard code them into attached components.
Heterogeneous landscape connectivity u2013 Adapters allow connectivity with all kinds of applications in a heterogeneous landscape. SAP provides a range of adapters with SAP XI to integrate not only existing SAP solutions through IDoc and BAPI interfaces, but also non-SAP systems through file, messaging, database or Web service interfaces. An open adapter framework allows the use of partner adapters to extend connectivity options to legacy and packaged applications as well as proprietary technology platforms.
B2B integration u2013 B2B integration requires the ability to maintain partner information and communicate with partners through an agreed protocol. SAP XI stores collaboration partner profiles centrally in the integration directory and communicate with partners based on this data. A Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) allows the integration partners that donu2019t use SAP XI or another integration solution.
Web-service management u2013 SAP XI handles the send/receive Web-service calls in an advanced manner and can add value-added services. SAP XI is able to evaluate Web-service calls based on the content and definitions as defined in the integration directory. SAP XI selects the appropriate definition and sends it on as a Web service, or transforms the Web-service call to the format and protocol that the receiving destination expects.
PI7.1
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:
u2022 strategic u2013 business innovation and synchronized information improves decision pure technology upgrade and/or retrofit of custom modifications into new standard making
u2022 functional u2013 process improvement leads to improved productivity
u2022 technical u2013functionality
In todayu2019s ever changing world of technology and business innovations, the ability to accelerate innovation and develop operation excellence better and faster than competitors is critical to a companyu2019s success. Business processes are the key to unlocking the potential of these strategies for competitive differentiation. This upgrade paves the road to an enterprise SOA (eSOA) which allows companies to quickly build and modify business processes to adapt to rapidly changing markets. With enterprise SOA, companies can unify stand-alone processes to quickly compose new end-to-end processes, selectively redesign existing processes and facilitate seamless process design and execution across company boundaries to take advantage of business partnersu2019 expertise. Enterprise SOA (eSOA) unleashes the untapped potential of existing business process within and across company boundaries.
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.
Below are the various business scenarios and processes available in PI 7.1:
Application-to-Application (A2A) u2013 It supports message-based and standard-based integration of internal company processes by seamlessly connecting SAP and non-SAP applications.
Business-to-Business (B2B) u2013 It provides functions to create and manage collaboration profiles and agreements between business partners. It supports B2B industry standards such as RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) or CIDX. The Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) is used to exchange XML documents between small business partners or subsidiaries.
Business Process Management (BPM) provides functionality to adapt systems to changing processes. It supports the entire life cycle of business processes u2013 from planning, implementation and monitoring to optimization.
u2022It gives the business users the ability to directly model, manage, monitor and analyze business processes
u2022Enables continuous process improvement and the dynamic modification of business processes
u2022Provides the ability to change process rules without additional IT investment, thus extending the companyu2019s core business investment and maximize the return on its strategic assets.
u2022Provides greater visibility into critical business operations for better decision making by delivering the right information at the right time
u2022Allows the integration of people, applications and internal external resources.
SAP PI 7.1 new features and capabilities are listed below:
Enterprise 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).
The main benefit of folders is to be able to create access authorization. This helps prevent unauthorized display or changes to configurations of an integration process or specific objects.
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 consumption (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.
u2022Local Processing in AAE: Integration Server (IS) is not involve during runtime (mapping and routing carried out within AAE)
u2022Classical Processing with AAE: Processing also within through Integration Server (IS)
u2022Local processing is feasible for existing java-based adapters. This represents a performance and resource usage improvement.
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.

PI 7.1 is based on open, web service enabled standards and
Integrate all SAP and non-SAP, A2A, B2B, BPM, service enabling and BAM
Highlight of enhancement in PI7.1
1) Enterprise Service repository (ESR) contains the design Registry
2) Includes significant high-volume message processing is supported by message processed in a single
Service call
3) Also importantly support for asynchronous messaging based Reliable Messaging (WS-RM) for both
Brokered communication between two systems will be supported in this release.
4) Provide Service Registry benefits based on UDDI 3.0
Enterprise Service Repository
In PI7.1 ES Repository is at the heart of Enterprise SOA
ES Repository is really the master data repository of service objects for Enterprise SOA
It contains the definition & process of services
In ES Repository has two parts, one is the ES Repository and the other being the Services Registry
ES Repository (ESR) is really the master data repository of service objects for Enterprise SOA
Besides service definition the ES Repository also provides you with a central point for finding and
Managing service metadata from different sources, including application deployments - this is
Where the Services Registry comes in. The Services Registry is the UDDI part of the ESR which
Enables service consumers to find services
The SAP XI Integration Repository used by process integration has become the basis of the central Enterprise Service Repository: powering Enterprise SOA and Service Enablement.
Objects in the ES Repository include:
Global Data Types (CCTS based)
Process Component Models
Executable Integration Processes (BPEL)
Integration Scenarios
Service Interfaces (Enterprise Services)
Interface Mappings
Enterprise Services built in the ES Repository
Enterprise Services includes:
Are built using a consistent enterprise model based on: GDTs, Process Components, and Business Objects.
Are based on open standards.
Are mapped to the Service Interface object in the ES Repository.
Global Data Types - Building blocks for Service Interfaces
Defined in the ES Repository
Defined company-wide based on open standards (ISO 15000-5, UN/CEFACT CCTS)
Reusable semantic building blocks for service interfaces and message types
Process Component Models
Drill down from high-level models to service interfaces and operations
Process component architecture models enable SOA governance
Process components expose on enterprise services, which are based on service operations
Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM)
Asynchronous messaging (EO, EOIO) based on open WS standard
Support Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)
Embedded Event Infrastructure: Collecting, pre-filtering and publication of events across SAP and non-SAP systems.
Event handling: cast the local event to an event proxy to send out event messages to event Consumers.
Transaction SWF_BAM for event filtering via filter rules and event handling.
Enhancement for Mapping
Re-usable user defined functions.
Look-up function reads multiple fields.
Synchronous DB RFC lookups: Use graphical function to model look-ups.
Specify mapping parameters at configuration time.
Principle Propagation based on SAML
This feature uses the WS-RM protocol.
The implementation of this feature is based on the open standard SAML and can
be used with backend systems that support the SAML technology.
Forward user context from sender to receiver.
Authorization check in receiving system based on original user.
Support BAM Milestone Modeling (BPEL)
Sub-Process Calls: Integration Process Call,
User Interaction: User Decisions (initially not part of this project, but will be covered as well to draw the complete picture),
Alert Categories
Enhancements for Process Automation
Human interaction:
Integration paradigm (design/ configuration).
Generic user decision.
Language dependent texts for end-user display, enriched with variables.
WS-BPEL 2.0 adoption: Preview and implementation BPEL4People, BPEL-SPE Simple user defined functions can be configured directly in the process.
