Re: Third party Integration - How to Map Fields in MS Project?

Hello Sharjeel,

Thanks for the information that you are using Project 2007. What
service pack have you applied? Are you using Project Server or just
Project Professional. When you note you are pulling information
from the System is it coming as an excel file, and xml file, or what
file format?

Let us know more details about specifically what you are doing --
how are you pulling the data? How are you updating project?

Hello Julie,

Thanks for the response. Well I am using MS Project Professional
2007.
The idea is to create a project plan in ms project & push this
data to System.
And after that pull the Actual info from System & update ms
project file.
I am sending the Baseline data as planned data to System
And setting Actual data of MS Project by reading from System.

I am facing problem in setting actual data in MS Project.
When i update ActualStart, it somehow updates Start & ActualStart
remains
blank. :(

Regards,
Sharjeel

Hello Sharjeel,

Are you mapping your data to the Actual Start fields or the Start
fields in the map? As you note, when updating Actual Start and
Actual Finish, the Start and Finish fields will change to match
the
Actual dates. Are you saying that when you update Actual Start
you
are not seeing the Actual Start value stay in Project?

Give us a bit more information about your map definition and
we'll
try to be more helpful. Please also let us know what version of
Project (2003? 2007?) including service pack you are using.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

We have a Basic Task management system, with task id,
description,
work,
planned & actual dates. We want to synchronize this with MS
Project. I am
able to map most of System's fields with MS Project.
The problem comes when i am trying to update 'Actual
Start/Finish/Work'
fields. Instead of updating those fields it actually updates
'Start/Finish/Work' fields.

When i do it manually it updates both ( that is fine as I have
set
the
Baseline ).
But programmatically i am not able to achieve the same.

Any help would be appreciated..
