How to Programmatically set Project Owner?

[Jabez Kurian]

Hi folks,

Would require your assistance in setting up the project owner
programmatically.

Problem: After migrating and publishing of projects (more than 500), the
user who has migrated and published the project, has become the project
owner. Currently we have to edit each project through PWA and change the
project owner.???

I am having the list of projects and their actual owners. I would like to
read this text file and programmatically update the project owners through
PSI.

Please suggest / provide code to achieve this task.

Thanks in advance.

This should only be a once off thing, so wouldn't it be much quicker to get
the PMs to manually assign themselves, even for 500 projects?

You'll want to retrieve the ProjectDataSet for the project using
ReadProject(), modify its Project.ProjectOwnerID, and use
QueueUpdateProject() to send the update to the PSI. Refer to the SDK for
more details.
