Hi Gayatri,
My few tips with Java stuck only. The basic work environment is the same you can launch the IB in http://host:port/dir/start/index.jsp
The configuration is quite diferent to PI 7.0, because you dont have the same pipeline steps SA, RA, RD, ID but you have only one object for all! the integrated configuration object (available since PI 7.1) http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/700058f0-b1a1-2a10-39a8-ab2627b87cfa?overridelayout=t…
If you want to monitor, go to runtime workbench and you will have multiple options.
Some configuration of the adapters change like IDOC because right now all are in java stuck.
Try with a simple scenario like SOAP - RFC, you will see that the design is the same and it changes only the configuration. You could check this scenario without any external tool, you have the WSNavigator:Testing sender web service Interfaces (SOAP) in PI 7.1
I doubt all the thing go right to the first time, because the Service Registry for example needs post-installation, i hope the basis team could assist you if you have any part without configuration or with permissions problems.
Regards.
