3523543 - BTD_PARENT_NODE_ID showing incorrect characters when extracted via BW

Symptom

When extracting data form the data source CODACTBTDB the field BTD_PARENT_NODE_ID shows incorrect data.

Environment

  • SAP Cloud For Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Analytics.
  2. Go to Design Data Sources.
  3. Search for CODACTBTDB.
  4. Extract the data to your third party system. E.G. The BW system.
  5. Notice that the data for BTD_PARENT_NODE_ID is not correct and is full of special characters.

Cause

This is a known issue with this characteristic and will be addressed in future releases.

Resolution

Use characteristic APA_DOC_UUID (Activity UUID) instead, which gives correct data. Both BTD_PARENT_NODE_ID & APA_DOC_UUID point to the same data in the backend, so there is no data loss.
