Hi,

ES Repository and Registry with SAP NetWeaver PI and take full advantage of the process integration capabilities of SAP NetWeaver and leverage the benefits of the Integration Directory and Integration Server. With the ES Repository, you can start modeling your business process and designing your interfaces, data types and mappings for the message exchange.

1) ESR has the ARIS for SAP Netweaver integrated where process component models can be developed

2) We have Business Objects in ESR (which were not present in IR). These BO has CRUD operations called the core services combining which the compound services are modeled

3) There is no more Message Interfaces but Service Interfaces only

4) Unlike the Enterprise Services developed using the IR (NW 7.0) now Enterprise Service interfaces developed in ESR can have multiple operations.

5) ESR has a UDDI registry provided by SAP where the Enterprise Services developed in ESR can be directly published.

Thanks

Hi

IR is now called ESR.

IR was used to design an interface objects for outbound and inbund messages. but it was not resuable.

In ESR, you can design your interfaces (or say services) which is available for others use also.

Basically the ESR is the back bone of SOA (In terms of PI)

thanks
