Set baselines with PDS

J

Jim Corbin [MSFT]

There is no PDS method to set baselines, and a PDS extension would be very
difficult to do because it would need to copy binary calendar data. Proj Pro
is designed for this job because it has an engine to check node consistency
and scheduling. There is no scheduling engine on Project Server.

You can set a baseline with VBA when the project is open in Proj Pro. For
example, you can use the Save event and check for the presence of a baseline.
If the baseline is not present, create it. You could put this code in the
enterprise global. See the VBA reference for BaselineSavedDate property,
BaselineSave method, ProjectBeforeSave2 event, and the example in the
ProjectBeforeClearBaseline event.

Keep in mind that baseline data increases the size of a project and the time
to open it in Proj Pro.
