Importing MPP files programatically

[GUYA]

In our process we are getting MPP files from partners and customers, I need
to take those MPP files and programatically import to MS Project server
without using the client side office application, does anyone know how this
can be achieved.

Thanks

Hi,

Can one make things difficult for the sake of being difficult?
WHY?

You haven't said which version of server you have, but all projects need to
be imported using Project Professional as only PP can publish data for
viewing in PWA.

You could use PSI in Project Server 2007 to programmatically create the
projects, but you would need to open the mpp project in Project Professional
to read all data unless you got xml files from clients etc, but that would
involve a lot of work interpreting the xml file!
