Global Activity Codes are not getting exported in the xer file. I tried opening the exported xer files with Wordpad & also in another PC but the global activity codes are not present in both cases. How to export Global Activity Codes in the complete project export xer file?

if you are taking about activity code values

make sure that you have the proper rights to do this 

go to admin

security profiles

upper left global profiles

then click on the profile name that has the check mark ie.e Administrator

then under Privilege make sure that ALL of the boxes are checked

 

if you are talking about the activity code dictionary 

The only other way to get the activity CODE DICTIONARY is to use a 32 bite machine with P6 and SDK on it and then export the Global dictionary to excel

Vikas, An XER file will only contain the global activity code dictionary information for the activities exported. There is no "Export" capability for anything in the Enterprise environment (e.g. Activity Codes, Cost Accounts, Resources) You can copy/paste them into Excel, this has mixed results. For example, Activity Codes bring the delimiting “.” Character with them, Resources do not.
