Setting "BookingType" for an enterprise resource using PDS/PDSBIZ

[Peter Theill]

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to specify the BookingType
element when updating my enterprise resources. I need to update
resources through either the PDS or PDSBIZ web services.

According to the XML Schema for a Resource, it accepts an
"<BookingType>" element however it seems like it's not recognized by
calls to e.g. "ResourcesUpdate".

Is this possible at all? Or do I have to write an PDS extender which
will go straight into the database to do this update?

Peter:

Keep in mind that "booking type" is an attribute of a project/resource
combination. It does not apply to a resource or project alone.

For an enterprise resource it's possible to specify a "Booking Type".
When this resource is added to the project it's taking this value as it
default booking type value. This is the value I need to set.

If you want to update this value through the PDS, you must create an
extension. The ResourceUpdate method does not contain the BookingType
property.

Yes, thanks. That's the solution I ended up doing - updating the
"MPS_RESOURCES" tabel directly through an PDS extension.
