SAP PI Decentralized Adapter Engine as AEX

Hi All,

currently we are using PI 7.1. with SAP EHP 1 SPS 09. we would like to install a DAE, so can we use AEX as DAE, if we install AEX can this AEX can use the current PI 7.1. ID. IR objects.

Our objects are ready in current PI but we would like to have a DAE and we need to switch the current PI channel to AEX in ID by just changing the Adapter engine from CAE to DAE ? or do we need to redevelop the objects in AEX ?

Please advice,

Thanks -
