This is the second part of a two-series blogs about the new features in SAP PI 7.11. In the first blog I pointed out the most interesting features encountered in this new release. In this second part of the blog, I will deep dive into those cool new features to give you an overview of what SAP PI has to offer today, seat back and enjoy!
1 > SAP PI Before and After 7.11
As mentioned before this new version of the product enforces the use of SOA and proces-driven as IT strategy. As a result of that strategy-shift, many areas and vital components of PI were ‘rebranded’ and in many cases their functionality were either improved or extended to cope with the new way of working.
The table below provides an overview of the changes in terms of new names, new roles and scopes of each of the different PI tools/objects:
PI 7.11 new names
2 > Interesting new features
3 > The rationals to migrate/upgrade to the PI7.11
4 > Areas that still need to improve
5 > Wraping up
Work in progress…

Hi Roberto,
I was triggered by your remark “this new version of the product enforces the use of SOA”. No doubt the new version provides a better basis for creating SOA based solutions, but the product is still based on this ‘old’ XI point to point architecture. It is so easy just to continue creating old-fashioned point-to-point interfaces, or to migrate all your old interfaces from XI 3.0 or PI 7.0 to 7.1. It’s the mindset, the organisation, the architecture principles and all other things outside of SAP PI which enforce the use of SOA. SAP helps you in this direction, but it is not the tool which enforces SOA.
(I’m sorry for the late response, but better late than never).
