public ProjectRelationsDataSet QueuePublish(
    Guid jobUid,
    Guid projectUid,
    bool fullPublish,
    string WssURL
)

Parameters

  • projectUid
    Type: System.Guid
    The GUID of the project.
  • fullPublish
    Type: System.Boolean
    If True, removes any previous data saved for this project in the Published database before publishing.
  • WssURL
    Type: System.String
    The URL of the SharePoint site to be created for the project.

Return Value

Type: [Project Web service].ProjectRelationsDataSet
Contains information about any parent projects that contain the current project as a subproject.

Remarks

QueuePublish is an asynchronous method that sends a publish message to the Project Server Queuing Service.

Following are options for the WssURL parameter:

  • If WssURL is a null value, QueuePublish does not create a project site for the published project.

  • If WssURL is String.Empty, QueuePublish creates the default project site with the name of the project. For example, if the base project team site is https://ServerName and the project name is Project Name, the project project site home page is https://ServerName/Project%20Name/default.aspx.

  • If WssURL is New Name, the project project site name is New Name instead of the project name.

  • If WssURL is subsite/Project Name, the subsite must exist in the SharePoint farm. If the subsite does not exist, Project Server returns error 16407 (WSSWebHierarchyDoesNotExist).
