We got below statement in the link https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/documents/pega-smart-investigate-payments-731-release-notes
“IMPORTANT: Related Pega financial services applications designed to work with Pega Smart Investigate for Payments, such as SWIFTNet Advanced E&I Rulebook, Smart Investigate for Securities, and Self-Service for Smart Investigate, have not been updated. Customers with any of these applications in their application stack should not attempt to integrate these applications with the Smart Investigate for Payments 7.31 release. Customers already running Smart Investigate for Payments with any of these applications in their application stack should not upgrade to release 7.31. Please contact Pega Global Customer Support (GCS) if you have
further questions.”
Q5:
Which Max version if FSIF (Pega Foundation of Financial Services) FW is supported for SmartInvestigateForPayments 07.31 ? FSIF 7.4 or FSIF 7.31?
Q6:
SmartInvestigateForPayments 07.31 will run on PegaFSIF 07.15 ? currently we are using PegaFSIF 07.15, and if we don’t update PegaFSIF but if we update SmartInvestigateForPayments
To 7.31, will there be any issue?
Q7:
Below link of PDN talks about SmartInvestigateForPayments ver 8.1
https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/pega-smart-investigate-payments-withdrawn-rules
BUT, below link does not provide any documentation about SmartInvestigateForPayments ver 8.1, it gives only upto version 7.31
https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/products/smart-investigate-payments
So question is whether SmartInvestigateForPayments 8.1 has been already released or not?

Thanks Sheetal, for your in depth reply. I have another few question
1. The SmartInvestigateForPayments 7.11 FW which we are using, it is showing build on PegaFSIF. Please find the screenshot.
Are you saying the latest version of SmartInvestigateForPayments 7.31 does not built on PegaFSIF?
2. We are also using SwiftNetEI:07-11, whether that also need to be upgraded to SwiftNetEI:7.31, in case we want to upgrade to PRPC 7.4 ?
3. SwiftNetEI:7.31 is compatible with Peg PRPC 8.1?

Hi Shankha,
1. The SmartInvestigateForPayments 7.11 FW which we are using, it is showing build on PegaFSIF. Please find the screenshot.
Are you saying the latest version of SmartInvestigateForPayments 7.31 does not built on PegaFSIF? - Pega provided Smart Investigate for Payments v7.11 or v7.31 or v8.1 is not built on PegaFSIF. For further details you can check the install guide Pre-requisite & Verify the Install part which do not have any references of PegaFSIF. For PSIP 7.11, see https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/documents/smart-investigate-payments-711-installation-guide. This may have been added for any specific purposes by customer's project team.
2. We are also using SwiftNetEI:07-11, whether that also need to be upgraded to SwiftNetEI:7.31, in case we want to upgrade to PRPC 7.4 ? - Yes.
3. SwiftNetEI:7.31 is compatible with PegaPRPC 8.1? - Yes. As there are PSIP, E&I 8.1 versions available we would recommend to consider the latest.
