ViewDrop

Hi there,

What is the ViewDrop folder? Is it a physical folder on the system or is it
simply just a term for something? What is its functionality and usage?

Something to do with the View Processing right?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Josh,
ViewDrop is a physical folder that can be found on the
Project Server, reps. the server, where you have the MS
PjServer installed. The path should be C:/Program Files/Ms
Project Server/Bin/ViewDrop.
The publishing process of Pj server deposits XML packages
in the ViewDrop folder. If there is problem with the
package it stays in the ViewDrop folder, which is no good.
It can cause an error cycle, as the system keeps trying to
process the bad packages and this can bring the Pj server
down. So the folder should be checked from time to time
and if anything suspicious found in it, just remove it to
some other folder for futher investigation. (this
information comes from the Gary Chefetz book)
The scheme of the ViewDrop functionality can be found at

Hope this helps.
