Issue/Introduction

We see the OBS Names in the DWH, but not the OBS IDs. These are defined in Administration -> OBS -> {Specific OBS} -> OBS Units -> {Specific OBS Unit}. Where can we find these IDs in DWH?

Environment

All supported versions

Resolution

The ID information is not available in DWH. However, the OBS Unit Internal ID is made available consistently. These IDs correspond to the ID column of the prj_obs_units table in the PPM schema. They are named as obs_unit_key (or parent_obs_unit_key or child_obs_unit_key) in the DWH.

Further, the name and ID of OBS units within an OBS have to be unique. So, we can filter for the OBS Type (to narrow down upon a specific OBS), and then filter on the OBS Unit name itself since it already serves a similar purpose as the ID.
