Problems to get list of project with PDS

[Asim Qazi]

Hi All
I am new to Project Professional and Server 2003
I had successfully installed both of them and made two test projects and
successfully published them to server, i can see them in MSP_WEB_PROJECTS
with id 2 and 3 respectively, I am using PDSTest.net sample to get the
project details

if i request this to server, it replies with all the details of Project
status

<Request>
<ProjectsStatus>
<ProjectID>3</ProjectID>
</ProjectsStatus>
</Request>


what should I request Project Server to get list of all projects , I am
logined with Administrator account.

Qazi.

All of the parameters of <ProjectsStatus> are optional. If you leave off
the<ProjectID> parameter, you will get a list of all projects.

<Request>
<ProjectsStatus>
</ProjectsStatus>
</Request>

See the ProjectsStatus method description in the PDS reference at
http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/libra...s/pjsdk/html/pdsProjectsStatus.asp?frame=true

The parameters to ProjectsStatus are just filters for data the method
returns. You say you get project details when you use
<ProjectID>3</ProjectID>
.... but no project details when that parameter is removed -- using the same
administrator logon? If that is the case, it is very strange.

For testing these things, it is useful to install the sample database,
available on the Project Server 2003 installation CD. When I run
ProjectsStatus with no parameters on the sample, I get the following:
<Reply>
<HRESULT>0</HRESULT>
<STATUS>0</STATUS>
<UserName>Administrator</UserName>
<ProjectsStatus>
<Project>
<ProjectID>5</ProjectID>
<ProjectName>16 Exabyte Desktop Drive.Published</ProjectName>
<ProjectType>0</ProjectType>
<ProjectPrefix>&lt;&gt;\16 Exabyte Desktop
Drive</ProjectPrefix>
<ProjectVersion>Published</ProjectVersion>
<ProjectCheckedout>1</ProjectCheckedout>
<ProjectCheckedoutUser>Jim Corbin</ProjectCheckedoutUser>
<Access>1</Access>
<ProjectUserWrite>1</ProjectUserWrite>
<LastModified>20040325134600</LastModified>
<ReplyStatus>0</ReplyStatus>
</Project>
<Project>
<ProjectID>6</ProjectID>
<ProjectName>16 Exabyte Desktop Drive.Target</ProjectName>
<ProjectType>0</ProjectType>
. . .
and so on, for all of the projects in the sample db.
