Use PDS to get Project Web URL

[Marco Rizzi]

Hi all,

I need to write a tool that give me a list of URL of Web Project.
Is possible to use PDS or do I need to read row in table MSP_WEB_PROJECTS WP ?

Any other idea?

Thx
Marco Rizzi

If I understand your request, you are looking to create a list of URL's that
point to PWA's product detail screen. The URL format is
"http://myserver/projectserver/Views/ProjectReport.asp?_projectID=x" where x
is the project ID. You can use the ProjectsStatus method to get a list of
Project ID's.

This will link brings the user to the last project view that the user was
using.

No sorry ... I need to write a program that give me the list of URL Web
Project of WSS.
Looking for that, I found the information on ProjectServer database, table
MSP_WEB_PROJECTS but I didn't find any Interface or Object that give me that
information.

Thx

The PDS typically supplies about 80% of what Project Server developers need.
You could write a PDS extension to get the data. That is, wrap a new PDS call
around a database call. The following article shows how, using C#:
http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/libra...html/ODC_BuildPDSExtension_NET.asp?frame=true

Pros:
1. Your PDS extension would use the built-in Project Server security for
authentication and authorization.

2. You'd have a good basis for future Project Server 2003 development
projects.

Cons:
1. It's more work than just making a direct database call.

2. PDS extensions will need to be re-written when you upgrade to the next
version of Project Server. But so would any application that directly
accesses the Project Server database.
