public WssServersDataSet ReadProjectSiteBaseUrls()

Return Value

Type: [WssInterop Web service].WssServersDataSet
Lists web applications that are configured to allow creation of project sites.

Remarks

The WssServersDataTable contains a row for each web application that is configured to allow creation of project sites. The data includes only the WSTS_SERVER_UID property and the WSS_SERVER_URL property.

The ReadProjectSiteBaseUrls method populates the Web Application drop-down list in the Bulk Update Project Sites page in Project Web App (https://ServerName/ProjectServerName/_layouts/pwa/Admin/UpdateSites.aspx). The ReadProjectSiteBaseUrls method is generally used to get data for the UpdateProjectSitePaths method.

Project Server Permissions

Examples

The following example uses ReadProjectSiteBaseUrls to read the web application GUIDs and base site URLs, and then writes the WssServersDataSet contents to an XML file.

The example uses the SvcWssInterop namespace in the ProjectServerServices.dll proxy assembly. The ConfigClientEndpoints method uses an app.config file for setting the WCF binding, behavior, and endpoint. For information about creating a PSI proxy assembly and an app.config file, see Prerequisites for WCF-Based Code Samples.

                 // Use the endpoints that are defined in app.config to configure the client.
                ConfigClientEndpoints(ENDPOINT);

                // Assign the path for the output XML file.

                Console.WriteLine("\nXML output of the WssServersDataSet is at:\n\t{0}", outFilePath);
            }
            catch (CommunicationException e)
            {
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
                Console.WriteLine("\n***System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException:");
                Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
                Console.ResetColor();
            }
            finally
            {
                Console.Write("\r\n\r\nPress any key....");
                Console.ReadKey();
            }
        }

        // Configure the client endpoints.
        public static void ConfigClientEndpoints(string endpt)
        {
            wssInteropClient = new SvcWssInterop.WssInteropClient(endpt);
        }
    }
}

If there is only one base site for project sites, the sample creates the C:\Projects\Samples\Output\WssServersDataSet.xml file with the following contents (the WSTS_SERVER_UID element and the WSS_SERVER_URL element will contain your own values):

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<WssServersDataSet xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/WssServersDataSet/">
  <WssServers>
    <WSTS_SERVER_UID>d1344232-a892-4df9-b74e-5e38396a981a</WSTS_SERVER_UID>
    <WSS_SERVER_URL>http://ServerBase</WSS_SERVER_URL>
  </WssServers>
</WssServersDataSet>
