Aspose.Tasks.TasksReadingException while using MspDbSettings

Aspose.Tasks Product Family

Hi Team,
For my project feasibility study, am trying to access MPP file stored in Microsoft Project Server 2013 Enterprise, using MspDbSettings as documented under the below link

https://docs.aspose.com/display/tasksnet/Creating%2C+Reading+and+Saving+Projects#Creating,ReadingandSavingProjects-ImportingProjectDataFromMicrosoftProjectDatabase

But while trying to read the project, I keep getting TasksReadingException. So I would like to know whether Asponse supports to access project stored in Microsoft Project Database via Microsoft Project Server.

Thank you.

Hi,


Than you for showing your interest in Aspose.Tasks API.

The API does support importing Project data from Microsoft Project Database as shown in the article. The issue may be specific to the Project data you are reading from the database. Is it possible for you to extract the project data in MPP format from the database and share with us? If not, please share your database file (most likely in mdf) format for our reference and further investigation at our end. We’ll look into it for assisting you further.

Hi,

Any sample project created in MPP will help to check this behavior from your end. Anyways I have attached the sample mpp file which I try to access through project server.

Thank you.

Hi,


Thank you for providing the sample code. I am afraid that this issue is not re-produced using this sample file. We need to establish the complete environment for testing this issue and request you to spare us time so that we may install and configure the required software. We will write back here once environment is configured and issue is re-produced here.

Your patience and understanding is appreciated in this regard.

Hi,

Just want to reiterate the problem am facing. If I try to load the attached file directly using absolute path it does works, but when I try to access the same using ID and connecction string as in below code, it generates error mentioned previously in this email chain.

MspDbSettings oMsPDbSet = new MspDbSettings(sqlConnectionString.ConnectionString,
new Guid(“73676078-aa49-e711-9401-0050568c5fea”));
Project aProjMppSrv = new Project(oMsPDbSet);


Thank you.
