Elevator Pitch SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 Centralized Monitoring, Single Stack ESB, Reduced TCO
Centralized monitoring via SAP Solution Manager 7.1 - Good morning page - Monitor multiple PI domains - Reduced time for root cause analysis

Single stack ESB capabilities through Advanced Adapter Engine - Up to 60% less energy consumption - Lower footprint, easy maintenance: 1h installation*, HW requirements* comp. to double stack, 90 sec restart*

Major Improvements for Reduced cost of operations via increased fault tolerance Design governance Standards based interoperability and connectivity
*Hardware dependent

Options How to Get to SAP PI 7.1

Two options exist to go from XI/PI to SAP PI 7.3:

Option

1: Technical Upgrade

Upgrade of existing XI/PI system 32 Bit Operating System is not supported SAP JVM is installed during upgrade process

Option

2: New Installation and Phase-out

New SAP PI 7.3 Installation Use SAP PI 7.3 for new integration scenarios Phased migration of application systems

Adjust and redeploy adapter modules and Java Proxies

Custom adapter modules 3rd-party adapters and modules

3rd-party dependant content

Deploy J2EE5 compliant JDBC/JMS drivers Check that message packaging is switched on globally XSLT and Java Mappings might have to be adjusted due to changes in the JVM and built-in XSLT processor

Upgrade: Pros and Cons

Upgrade
Pros

Less effort because no redirection of the business scenarios are required

No adjustment of the Sending/Receiving systems Existing basis customization can be reused after upgrade

Cons

High risk (no fallback XI/PI solution available, only restore possible)

Higher downtime compared to new installation and phase-out Existing limitations for upgrade

SAP 2008 Page 32

New Install: Pros and Cons

New Installation and Phase-out

Pros

Low risk

Phased approach for interface implementation Lower downtime compared to upgrade

Cons

More effort because XI/PI scenarios have to be transported to the SAP PI 7.3 system and communication channels have to be changed manually Existing basis has to be incorporated in the new SAP PI 7.3 system Additional hardware is required

Major Decision Factors

Decision Factors

Upgrade

Options

New Installation & Phaseout

Is XI/PI the only usage type installed?

Yes

No

Is your current OS version and/or DB version supported? (Check PAM for PI 7.3)

Yes

No

What is the maximum allowed downtime of your productive PI system (in hours)?

> 12h

< 12h

As soon as you answer one of the major questions with No or with less than 12 hours downtime, you should go with a new installation of SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3
