Product Overview

Various areas of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.3 (SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3) have been

considerably improved to ensure existing and create new customers' benefits from a variety of

new capabilities. Key enhancements include:

Design and Governance

User-experience: The main user productivity innovations in the Enterprise Service Repository

(ESR) with SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 comprise of SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio-based

Eclipse editors for creating and editing service interface and data types. The aim is to help

customers shorten time-to-value by increasing their user efficiency and ease overall project

implementations respectively.

Governance workflows: As the adoption of SOA in the organization increases, the need for

governed SOA design grows to safeguard the SOA deployment. SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 provides

customizable lifecycle status of SOA assets by enabling automated governance of workflows

across the assets' lifecycle. Open, standards-based APIs can be used to integrate and orchestrate

governance workflows via SAP NetWeaver BPM to facilitate collaboration across the

organization. Subscription-based notification mechanisms support the timely distribution of

information to all parties in the process governing the lifecycle of individual SOA assets.

Notifications can be sent on multiple events and across different channels. A choice of targeted

UIs equips users with technical and business governance roles for a low-touch and efficient

collaboration throughout SOA governance flows.

Extensible meta-model of SOA assets: The extensibility of meta-models allows clients to

customize the semantics and behavior of repository assets to adapt them to the company's own

SOA governance roles, organizational structures, and practices.

Java-only stand-alone installation option for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3

With the release of SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1, SAP introduced the Advanced Adapter Engine

(AAE) to enable message processing within the Java stack only. With SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 the

AAE is made available as Java only deployment option called Advanced Adapter Engine

Extended (AAE) - including ESR and Integration Directory as well. The first complete Java-only

stand-alone installation option provides the possibility to considerably lower down footprint,

energy consumption, installation times, as well as hardware requirements.

Technical Operations & Monitoring

The capabilities for central monitoring with SAP NetWeaver PI are offered through the specific

PI workcenter in SAP Solution Manager. Going forward, SAP Solution Manager will be the

recommended platform and tooling for central monitoring of complex, distributed, multi-domain

PI landscapes. The main central monitoring capabilities include overview monitor, message

monitor, component monitor, channel monitor, all integrated with SAP Solution Manager E2E

monitoring and alerting framework, and ITIL-based processes for incident management and

notification.

All these along with increased connectivity options, improved local monitoring and fault

tolerance lead to considerable reduction of total cost of operations for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3.
