PDS publishing problem

[Gerd Walter]

HelloI' ve created a VB program to create a project with a template. The
program uses PDS.
I also published my project with PDS.

<ProjectCreate>
<AutoPublish>1</AutoPublish>
<Project>
<ProjectName>
testproject .Veröffentlicht
</ProjectName>
<StartDate>20040806080000</StartDate>
<TemplateID>84</TemplateID>
</Project>
</ProjectCreate>

The Problem is, that the work,costs,startdate,enddate..... are not visible
in the project center within Project Web Access . In the Project view (when
i open this project from the Projectcenter in the browser)
work,startdate,enddate.. are visible.
Projectserver 2003 and the Project Professional 2003 are patched with
service pack 1

Does somebody have an idea?
Thank you very much in advance

The PDS "publish" method DOES NOT do a full publish. It only "prepares" the
project for publishing. (I got this info straight from the Project Partners
support group.)

Future documentation is supposed to make this clear.

Unfortunately, we have found no decent work around.

Well, you can drop an XML file into the view drop folder - look at an
existing one to see the format - but if you need the project engine to do
any calculations, say for graphical indicators, etc, this will not do it.

Or you can write an application to instantiate a Project Application object
and do a calculate and publish.

If ANYONE has a programmatic way (other than mentioned above) PLEASE let us
know!

Thanks!

Found a solution:

1-create a project
2-checkout
3-checkin
4-checkout

There!! Looks stupid, but it works. U can insert, for example, task
after this..
