I am asking about the difference between the two versions because i can not see the integrator in 7.0
Enterprise Integrator 7.0 is the next generation of WSO2 Integration platform and mainly focuses on micro-service architecture and cloud-native architecture. This integration platform mainly offers a code-driven approach to integration development. Kindly note that the development of EI 6.x series is still being continued. EI 6xx series are for those who are familiar with existing Enterprise Integrator. For more details you can refer the documentation here. https://ei.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/micro-integrator/references/comparisong-mi7-ei6xx/
Integrator is available in EI 7.0 as Micro Integrator.
This blog describes the difference between WSO2 6xx and 7xx. (Evolution of Micro Integrator) https://medium.com/arunans23/life-of-mi-how-an-esb-went-on-to-serve-microservices-9bb4faed5588

When I Try to download WSO2 Process Server, It redirects me to API Manager.
The link is http://wso2.com/products/business-process-server
Is the WSO2 Process Server deprecated?
WSO2 Business Process Server(BPS) is now deprecated and discontinued. But you can still use it. WSO2 BPS was merged to WSO2 Enterprise Integrator a couple of years back as a different runtime. So if you want to use BPS capabilities you can download WSO2 EI from here and start the Business Process Profile. You can read more about the BPS Profile here.
Yes, the product is not available now.
You can migrate to EI 6.6.0 if you are using WSO2 BPS 3.6.0 - https://docs.wso2.com/display/EI660/Upgrading+from+WSO2+Business+Process+Server
In the latest EI/MI versions do not come with the BPS solution.
It's best to migrate to Micro-integrator 4.1.0 and use the latest capabilities of the enterprise integration. Micro-integrator is the latest version of the WSO2 ESB platform. However, it does not support BPS capabilities as moving forward, WSO2 will continue to provide only the interprise integration capabilities through the platform and for some of the features such as Message Broker and BPS have been deprecated. For use cases on Message Broker and BPS, you need to integrate with 3rd party products such as Camunda (for BPS) and RabbitMQ (for Message Broker).
The WSO2 documentation says that the functionality of the Enterprise Integrator is now included in the Micro Integrator and API Manager.
How do I deploy and run BPMN processes with the new system? I can't find any documentation on it and don't see where to add a BPMN process to the Integrator or where to work on HumanTasks.
For this you need the BPS profile of the Enterprise Integrator. But the BPS server is on maintenance mode and new features or development is not made on this. Therefore the Micro Integrator does not contain the features of the BPS profile.
If you want to use the BPS profile you will need to continue to use the EI (6.6.0 is the latest EI server)
I am in the process of evaluating WSO2 as potential solution for our Application Integration Stack.
I have a lot of experience in Mulesoft as middleware. I was looking for quick tutorial on WSO2 to get handson for doing a pilot PoC.
Can somone point to me right tutorial or webiste from which i can get step by step tutorials please ?

Can somebody please explain, how WSO deploy its products?
First i got familiar with WSO EI 6.6. I could create a proxy service or use the DSS to make API alternative to entity framework in .net core services.
Then I found out that the superior product to WSO2 EI is WSO2 APIM - api manager.
WSO2 APIM has WSO2 IS included, so it is basically the single point for authentication and service proxying and so on.. However I have not seen there any option to make the DSS ??
WSO EI 7.0 is completly different to WSO EI 6.6 as far as i understand. WSO EI 7 is the name for 3 other products balerina integrator, microservice and streaming integrator. None of these services has the /carbon framework and all of them are just some apis for some custom editor. If this is true, why do they call it WSO EI 7?? Does that mean that the configuration of proxy services or access to database through res api is obsole and should not be used for new project?
So basically there is no way to have DSS in latests products?? Do I must use WSO EI 6.6 in order to use the DSS?
I have scratched my head at the naming and grouping of these products previously as well. From what I could figure, every now and then the groups change. As you have noticed rightfully, EI was the latest one to change. It indeed split into 3 entities. It is however still usable with code from EI 6.6. The Micro Integrator can be downloaded separately and used with all the code and CAR files made with 6.6. I have run a couple of them and found no problems thus far. It is basically the latest version but without the Carbon framework and frontend. One MI instance also runs just 1 CAR file but does so really fast.
As for your DSS needs I have no experience with that side of WSO2. I googled however and found that DSS can be downloaded right here as a standalone product. I hope that solves your last question.
The APIM is not superior to EI either, but functions in a different way. Since the older products were all based on Carbon as you mentioned before means there was a certain bit of overlap. IS for example can also be downloaded separately.
If I was to guess I would say they WSO2 will be trying to make all their services into Microservice versions in the upcoming years. This is just speculation btw.
If you want to dive more into the reasoning behind WSO EI 7.0 and why it was decided to work like that I would suggest this talk by the WSO2 director.
We are doing technical feasibility for migrating to WSO2 Micro Integrator 7.X version.
From the documentation it seems the admin services can now be explored in a REST API way or in a visualized dashboard manner (https://ei.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/micro-integrator/administer-and-observe/working-with-management-api/) .
What about other admin services like AuthenticationAdmin service and others , see link in paranthesis (https://docs.wso2.com/display/EI650/Working+with+Admin+Services). Is it possible to access these back end services in WSO2 Micro Integrator 7, keeping in view that only a micro integrator is used within the plaform.
I am wondering as the footprint of a micro integrator is small , these admin backend services which earlier available may not be accessible within the Micro Integrator at all. Do let me know if that is a correct understanding.
Hi Rajarshi Bhattacharjee
Basically the admin services which were in EI 6x series is no-more in Micro Integrator. These are new REST APIs which are there to retrieve the artifacts. You might see the available rest APIs in https://github.com/wso2/micro-integrator/blob/master/doc/mi-rest-api.md . Please report an issue in https://github.com/wso2/micro-integrator/issues if there is a necessity for other services.
Thanks !
