I am working on a project to creates KPIs based on project data within Project Server 2007. I haven't had much luck with OLAP cubes. Hence I'm trying to retrieve project data first. Which is where I am stuck.
I am trying to do one of the following. I would appreciate it I could get feedback on which is the best way? Also relating to specific questions I had:
SQL query the Project Server published database: I'm not sure what the connection string would be? Also do I use SQL Server to query? Any tutorial would be helpful.
Project Server Interface (PSI) / Project Web Services (PWS): How do I create a an application/script that accesses data from Project Server? I know I need to include ProjectWebServices assembly. Do I need to use the Project Server 2007 SDK for this?
I'm sorry, if some of my questions are trivial. This is the first time I am dealing with Project Server and couldn't find a lot of content about Project Server 2007. If there's a better way anyone knows of, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!!!
