Project Server Architecture MS Project Server

Illustration: MSP Professional Startup Process 1. MSP Pro starts 2. User chooses local/global profiles 3. MSP Pro makes request to PDS to open global template 4. PDS queries MSP Server for permission a. OK 5. PDS prepares SQL Server views for MSP Pro 6. PDS passes connection string info to MSP Pro using XML 7. MSP Pro serialiser creates ODBC connection to SQL Server views in the MSP Server Database 8. MSP Pro loads Enterprise Global Template in memory 9. Connection is terminated when read is finished 10. MSP Pro opens local global file + toolbar/menus from local global file into memory

Project Data Service: Gateway SQL Server Views Tables Client Application Microsoft Project Data Service (PDS) Microsoft Project Server 2002 IIS

Accessing Microsoft Project Data To access Microsoft Project data To access Microsoft Project data  Log on to the Microsoft Project Server.  Call the PDS to request the database connection information.  Make a connection to the Microsoft Project Server database using that information and gather the SQL Process ID (SPID) for that connection.  Call the PDS to request access to the project or resource that the client needs to access and pass along the SPID from the previous step.  Make queries against the appropriate set of Microsoft SQL Server™ views to gather and/or update the required information.  Call the PDS when the access is no longer required to maintain the security of the data.  Disconnect from the Microsoft Project Server database.
