Thanks for consolidating.
Is it correct that XI "1.0" was some previously bought software?
I have no idea about this!
Nice blog. When does the extended support for PI 7.0 ends?
As per PAM there is no Extended Maintenance for PI 7.0. Also as per note 1648480 - Maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 Software, there will be no Extended Maintenance for the Java side products. Maintenance for 7.0 runs until the end of 2017.
Great Mark,
This is a question that PI developers usually receive of the clients.
I only miss PI 7.01 and PI 7.02, although may be they are not considered as releases, are they?
Regards.
Hi Iñaki,
The 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 releases are Enhancement Packs for NW 7.0. There was no change to the PI release for any of these so I haven't listed these in the blog.

Mark
Hi Mark,
Then, these are not the same cases that PI 7.11 and PI 7.31?
Regards
Hi Iñaki,
Correct. The 7.11 and 7.31 releases brought considerable changes in the PI functionality but the 7.0x releases there was no change on the PI side.
Regards
Mark
Hi Mark Smyth,
When you have time you could update this interesting blog information with the 7.5 version:
SAP Process Integration - What's New in SAP NetWeaver 7.5 (Release Notes) - SAP Library
SAP NetWeaver 7.5 - One common foundation for SAP Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
Regards.
Hi Iñaki,
Thanks for the prompt. This is updated now for the new 7.5 release.
Regards
Mark
for 7.5 there is no Dual Stack option, but Dual SID is present.
Hello Lliya,
You mean that PI 7.5 only has the java single-stack? How to understand the dual SID.
Thank you for your response.
Many thanks & best regards,
Hubery
thanks Mark Smyth
Thanks for the history lesson. Trying to clean this timeline from the Product Availability Matrix was painful at best
