PDS does not update view-tables

[Joakim K]

We are calling the "ProjectCodeValuesUpdate" method of PDS.
The value of the MSP_TEXT_FIELD-record ( e.g FIELD-ID=188744729) is updated.
So far so good.

PDS should update the view tables also, so that the updated values are
visible in PWA (Webaccess).
But these values are not displayed in PWA.
We have created a custom view in PWA to see all custom attributes and can
see the values of a project created in MSP Desktop application.

Why ?
Do we need to extend PDS ?
What should this extended functionality do ?

This we have read on google :
When you select a project and click Edit button, all values are displayed.
They are getting saved also after modification, but not displayed in PWA.

When you open the project in Desktop application, edit any task, and save
the project, then custom attribute values are displayed in PWA. So to see the
custom values in PWA, you always have to open it in MSP Desktop application.

Joakim:

You need to publish the changes. This isn't an automatic process.

Isn't there a way to mimic that operation programmatically by calling the
appropriate stored procedures? If so, which ones would have to be called?
I'm facing the exact same issue, and while I make sure to inform the project
manager of any change, many times there is no need for him to open and save
the project again for the changes I made.

Hi Gary!
Thanks for your response.

It seams like there are more than one definition of a published project. The
projects that we have registered via PDS gets the suffix .Published without
returning any values in our custom enterprise fields - However, if we open
and save the same project in Project Professional these cutom fields are
updated.

We have looked into each stroed procedure that communicates with the
relevant table and there is none that actually writes anything - they only
read.

Do we have a situation where the necassary update is conducted by the
desktop client - without using any stored procedure?

What do you think?

Regards

Joakim
