A Windows SharePoint Services site is not created when you use the Project Data Service "ProjectCreate" method to create a new project in a Project Server 2003 site (898629)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Project Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You use the Project Data Service (PDS) ProjectCreate method to create a new project in a Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 site. However, a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site is not created for the new project.

CAUSE

This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • More than one Project Server 2003 site is configured on the server. Additionally, you used the EditSite tool for Project Server 2003 to create the other Project Server 2003 sites on the server.
  • You used the ProjectCreate method to create a new project in a Project Server 2003 site that is not the default site. The default site is ProjectServer.

    For example, this issue does not occur if you use the ProjectCreate method to create a new project in the following site:

    http://ComputerName/projectserver

    However, this issue occurs if you use the ProjectCreate method to create a new project in the following site:

    http://ComputerName/site2

When you use the EditSite tool to create a new Project Server 2003 site on the server, the EditSite tool does not add the .wsdl file name extension to the new site.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, add a mapping for the .wsdl file name extension to the Project Server 2003 site. Follow these steps for each new site that you created on the server by using the EditSite tool:
  1. Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. Expand ServerName, and then expand Web Sites.
  3. Right-click the Project Server 2003 site that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
  4. Click the Virtual Directory tab.
  5. In the Application settings area, click Configuration.
  6. Click the Mappings tab, click Add, and then click Browse in the Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog box.
  7. In the Open dialog box, locate and then click the Soapis30.dll file. The Soapis30.dll file is typically located in the following folder:

    Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Mssoap\Binaries

  8. Click Open.
  9. Follow these steps in the Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog box:
    1. Verify that the path of the Soapis30.dll file is displayed in the Executable box.
    2. Type .wsdl in the Extension box.
    3. Click Limit to in the Verbs area, and then type GET,POST.
    4. Click to select the Script engine check box if the check box is not already selected.
    5. Click to select the Verify that file exists check box if the check box is not already selected.
    6. Click OK.
  10. Click OK two times.
Important To use PDS with multiple Project Server 2003 sites, you must also configure the Pds.wsdl file and the Pdsbiz.wsdl file for each Project Server 2003 site. For more information about how to configure these files, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
