DataSources in BI 7.0

Hello All,

We are just beginning to implement a BI solution in our landscape and would like to know the following:

1) Which DataSource should we be using 3.x or 7.0? What are pros/cons of using one over the another?

2) I replicate 0PLANT_ATTR datasource and BI shows that as an Emulated 3.x datasource. Is that by default or is there some way I can replicate that as a 7.0 datasource (without having to migrate the replicated 3.x datasource in BI)? I read some posts where during replication you have an option of chosing 3.x or 7.0 replication but that option does not seem to show up in my case.

3) If I have to migrate the replicated ds, is there any downside to always migrating it "With Export"?

Thanks,

Asheesh
