Hi all,

I am new to Project Server programming. currently, i want to first learn
how to write PSI calls, such as automatically updating a field to a reporting
DB when there is a change from the master DB. I do not know which Web
Services i will need to write such kind of PSI calls. If you can point me to
the right direction or write me some code to help me get started will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Michael

Hi,

The only resource is the Project SDK. It has descriptions of each web
service and sample code. The reporting db gets updated when a project is
published, either via Project Prof or the publish PSI call.

Hi

Thanks

i always get confused reading the SDK, maybe because i'm still new. so do
you mean i need to use the QueuePublish method from the Project webservice?
also, how to relate the changes from the "Master DB" to update the "Reporting
DB" in the function?

Thanks
Michael

I don't know the PSI interface well, so if you can't interpret the SDK (I
struggle big time as well!) you will need to get professional programmer
support. This is my biggest complaint about the PSI; it is written for
professional programmers and is totally unsuited to skilled professionals
working for Project Offices (my role).
