Difference between XI 3.0 and PI 7.0

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is difference between XI 3.0 and PI 7.0

Is this way we check version:

System-- Staus -- Component Information --

PI_BASIS -- 2005_1_700

So the above system is PI 7.0 -- right?

Hi,

There is not much 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.

HI

Difference b/w XI3.0 n PI7.0

XI 3.0

1.J2SE adapter engine replaced with J2EE Adapter engine.

2. BPM was available from XI 3.0

3. It is a Part of Netweaver 2004

PI 7.0

1XI renames as Process Integration(PI)

2. It is a Part of Netweaver 2004s.

3. Has all features of XI 3.0 and every SP of Pi 7.0 has a corresponding release for XI 3.0.

4. Runs on WAS 7.0 and has same features as XI 3,0

5.Adapter Enhancements in JMS,JDBC,.Conversion. Multimapping.. userdefined functions.

the major difference is PI 7.0 is based on WAS 7.0

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:

u2022 Adapter Enhancements like JMS, JDBC, Oracle-JDBC and CIDX Enhancements

u2022 New Conversion Agent,

u2022 Receiver Determination Enhancements

u2022 Multi mapping

u2022 User defined enhancements

u2022 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.

XI 3.0 runs on WAS 6.40 and is a part of Netweaver 2004.

PI 7.0 runs on WAS 7.0 and is a part if Netweaevr 2004s.

Hi Rick,

PI 7.0 works on WEBDYNPRO....They are basically the same technically but when SAP launched Netweaver 2004s , to bring all objects of Netweaver 2004s in Synch with the WAS version, XI was renamed to Process Integration (PI 7.0) .

A comparison of the service packs in 2004 and 2004s;

in 2004 - in 2004s

SP12 & < - SP04

SP13 + 14 - SP05

SP15 - SP06

SP16 - SP07

SP17 - SP08

SP18 - SP09

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

Java Stack

You need to increase the Java Heap Memory size.

Just Check this SAP Note - 883444, 874123, 862405, 760721

Also

SAP Note 723909 u201CJava VM settings for J2EE 6.40/7.0u201D describes recommended Java VM settings to avoid out of memory (OutOfMemoryError) or Out of swap space error for standard SAP Java applications (EP, XI, CRM, etc.) running on SAP J2EE 6.40/7.0.

Its right way to see the current version.
