SAPIBP2 planning areas can't be activated in HANA 2.0 systems.

Hi!

We created a new planning area copying the new harmonized planning area I_SAPIBP2 and were not able to activate it. The error message in the log says "SAPIBP2 planning areas can't be activated in HANA 2.0 systems."

On the SAP Help page it mentions as a prerequisite: "Your system must run on SAP HANA Cloud for you to be able to work with I_SAPIBP2-based planning areas."

- How do we know which SAP HANA version we have? Based on the log, in this case it is HANA 2.0, but how can we check for our customers?

- Is it possible to change the version? how?

- What version do we need to use the harmonized planning area I_SAPIBP2?

Thanks in advance.
