Update project information

[Guest]

I am interested in how you have managed to create and update project
information in project server.
I can not see a way doing this via PDS web service interfaces.

We are trying to write somewhat similiar solution to Project/Siebel that
would provide users with standard web forms to collect the project data,
projects would then be created and updated based on templates, and finally
the reports would be generated.

We are able to create project by using ProjectCreate PDS method (still do
not know how to create projects based on templates, what you've clearly
achieved in this sample), but had no luck with updating the project/tasks
information.

Please give us some pointers.

Thank You

Tom, every time I try to create a project I get error 1016, invalid
project name. Here is my pds call, what am I doing wrong?

<Request>
<ProjectCreate>
<Project>
<ProjectName>My new project</ProjectName>
<StartDate>20040101</StartDate>
</Project>
</ProjectCreate>
</Request>

The project name should be built of project name and version:

example:
<Request>
<ProjectCreate>
<Project>
<ProjectName>My new project.Published</ProjectName>
<StartDate>20040101</StartDate>
</Project>
</ProjectCreate>
</Request>

You can get version information with PDS version methods; you can also add
new versions, update and delete them....

tom
