restorep not supported in SP2a

[Didier Maignan - Interprojet]

Hi,

I used restorep formely on SP1 with no issue. Now I want to use restorep
with an SP2a version of Project Server to restore a single project that
exist in destination and source base.

I got a very strange message coming from the restorep 1.0 downloaded from
the present web site :
Restoring project functionality is not supported in this version of
ProjectServer

the version i have is SP2a :
Version (PWA) : 11.2.2005.1801.15

version of restorep from MS Web : 1.0 1/16/2004 (not from the PS disk)

Did someone used successfully restorep with SP2a ?

Any news ?
I found strange that nobody cares about restoring a project from Project
Server 2003 SP2a.
I found a procedure using Project Pro trhu ODBC, but this is not as quick
and clean as restorep command line.

Hi

Here is some feedback on this matter.

Since we had no answer from the newsgroup, We have heavily tested
restorep.exe tool by ourselves, to restore single project that exist in the
Project Server database and now we confirm restorep works with SP2a, if it
has been installed with usual setup from Project Server CD. This was not the
case for us.

The only thing is that the name of the database must not contain any "-"
(and probably others) otherwise there is a message error saying that no
project exist with that ID in the destination databse, which is wrong.
