Project Enterprise Flag Fields

[uskexb13]

We have a need to programmatically update the Project Enterprise Flag Fields
in ProjectServer 2003. Since PDS method ProjectCodeValuesUpdate does not
update flags, we developed a PDS extension that does the job. If we open the
project in Project Professional the change is properly displayed, but not in
a view in PWA, even if we run PDS method ProjectViewTablesCreate immediately
after the update.

If we publish the project in Project Professional then the change is
properly displayed also in PWA. I wonder where is the difference between
using publish in Project Professional and using PDS method
ProjectViewTablesCreate and how to overcome this difference.

Uskexb13,

We've seen this in our development as well. Basically the Views tables
aren't being updated. Publishing the project will subsequently update
them.

To get around this, you can change your PDS extension to update the
views tables with the proper values too.

Hope that helps,

Adam

Adam,

Please let me know if flag fields are contained in any other view tabels
than msp_view_proj_projects_ent? This table gets updated with PDS method
ProjectViewTablesCreate.

Regards,

Emil

Adam,

It took some time but I finally found it. The values of custom fields are
stored in MSP_WEB_WORKGROUP_FIELDS table.

Thank you for your help.
