Using Cobra to Read the Primavera Database

You must set up a data source name (DSN) to connect to the database regardless of the selected connection method for importing data. When using the API, the DSN connection allows you to select the fields in the Integration Wizard.

Using the database is much faster than using the API; however, the resource data is spread linearly across the activity dates. Using the API to connect to Primavera provides daily time-phased data thus, the resources imported into Cobra closely match the resource spread in Primavera.
