cProjects - versions extracted to BI

[Former Member]

We are extracting project version data to BI. For some reason the extract is only pulling the local versions. We need the extract to pull the global versions.

Is this something we can configure? Any ideas on why this is?

Thank you,

Our issue was solved by some information that we received from SAP.

This response was provided by Thomas Berndt of SAP:

The problem here is an authorization issue: In order to extract

project versions flagged as "Global" (field VERSION_USAGE = 1) the

user trying to read that versions need to be provided with

authorization CPRO_VSHDR. This works fine for user SAPUPDATE for

instance, but user ALEREMOTE which does the extraction, is not

sufficiently authorized for this, at least reading authorization needs

to be given.

This might not be straight forward, but is according to the design of

the versions: Unless explicitely authorized, these global versions are

not accessible.

More details on autorizations for versions can be found the

configuration guide I attached on page 87.

Hi

which datasources are you using to pull the project versions

can you give an example by what you mean local and global versions.

or else are you talking about snapshot and simulation versions.
