Using Command Line for Massive Publishing

[Incanus]

Hello:

As you will read in a another thread, I've been trying to implement a
solution for massive publishing using VBA for Projetc Professional.

However, I'm facing some problems yet to be solved so I'd like to
explore an alternative way using the command line interface through a
scripted batch file (.BAT)

I do know about the Project Server's "stsadm" command, but it doesn't
seem to have any publishing options.

Is there an undocumented feature for publishing with the "stsadm"
command or another command to achieve a project specific publication?

Awaiting your kind advice,

Sebastián Armas

Using Visual Studio and the PSI you can create a mass publish command line
tool very easy. Also the ProjTool in the SDK can publish many projects at
one time. You also may want to throttle the publish as to no over load the
queue processing.

Hope this helps

I'm familiar with the ProjTool included with the Microsoft Project
2007 SDK: it does implements publish (and many other) tasks, though it
requires to manually select the projects to publish.

Is it a reliable tool?

Also: what do you mean by "throttle the publish" ?

Publishing takes time, but sending the commands to publish does not take
much time.
Throttling in my view would be writing code to slow down the commands sent
to the queue so that other jobs can be processes or enqueued.
