BO XI3 Publisher / BO XI 3.1 Publisher

Question

Business Objects Publisher (6.1b) is used to send out reports to users on any changes detected in our Application.
Every hour these reports are scheduled,and if there is data,reports are dispathced to users.
Right now we are implementing this logic through BO report---
BO query retrieves changes in the database from the last date and time the report ran.
Currently we are using DS_Pending.Job_End Date Time
and based on the output, it retrieves email addresses and Restricts duplicate emails sent to users.
We are using DS Pending and OBJ_M_Documents BO Repository tables for this
DS_Pending Table - For document name,DS_Pending.Job_End Date Time, Job status = success.
OBJ_M_DOcuments - To get the Document id
The various process involved are: BO Publisher, Scheduler, Lotus Notes, updating Bo Repository table- DS_Pending.
BO 6.1 b is unstable and throwing errors and so we are constantly Monitoring to make sure that emails are being sent to users.
So we want to upgrade to latest version of BO,which supports all these features.
I want to know if all this is possible through BOXIR3 Publisher or through BOXIR3.1 publisher.
AS we don't have a concept of Repository in BOXIR3, how can we implement the same process.
1.Does BOE XI 3.0 work on Windows 2003 32 bit platform?
2.In XIR3 How can we find the last suceessful Publications Date and Time.
3.Does BOE XI 3.0 Publisher works with Oracle 10.2.0.8 64bit repository database
4.Does it allow us to  "Burst" a report and deliver it to different destinations (1 report --> N destinations)
5.system Requirements for BO XIR3 Server.
Thanks
