    Hello,

     

    I'm trying to read the CalendarExceptions for a Resource, but I'm getting a Fault Exception every time (System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1 was unhandled

      Message=ProjectServerError(s) LastError=GeneralUnhandledException Instructions: Pass this into PSClientError constructor to access all error information).

     

    I attach here the code I'm using - what am I doing wrong? - Thanks!

     

                // Get the ID of the user.
                Guid currentUserGuid = resourceClient.GetCurrentUserUid();
     
                //Prepare filter
                SvcResource.ResourceDataSet resourceDS = new SvcResource.ResourceDataSet();
     
                PSLibrary.Filter filter = new PSLibrary.Filter();
     
                filter.FilterTableName = resourceDS.Resources.TableName;
                //filter.FilterTableName = resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.TableName;
     
                filter.Fields.Add(new PSLibrary.Filter.Field(resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.TableName,
                    resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.RES_UIDColumn.ColumnName,
                    PSLibrary.Filter.SortOrderTypeEnum.None));
     
                filter.Fields.Add(new PSLibrary.Filter.Field(resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.TableName,
                    resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.StartColumn.ColumnName,
                    PSLibrary.Filter.SortOrderTypeEnum.None));
     
                filter.Fields.Add(new PSLibrary.Filter.Field(resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.TableName,
                    resourceDS.CalendarExceptions.FinishColumn.ColumnName,
                    PSLibrary.Filter.SortOrderTypeEnum.None));
     
                //Add a filter to restrict the return results to the current user
                PSLibrary.Filter.FieldOperator criteriaCurrentResource = new PSLibrary.Filter.FieldOperator(
                    PSLibrary.Filter.FieldOperationType.Equal,
                    resourceDS.Resources.RES_UIDColumn.ColumnName,
                    currentUserGuid.ToString()
                    );
     
                filter.Criteria = criteriaCurrentResource;
     
                resourceDS = resourceClient.ReadResources(filter.GetXml(), false);

    Hi Joao,

    For starters, catch the ServiceModel.FaultException in a try - catch block, and extract information about the error stack. For an example of how to do that, see the WCF example in the QueueCreateProject method. Also take a look at the ULS log.

    Thanks a lot, Jim.

    By the way, I'm using Project Server 2010 / Visual Studio 2010 / .Net 4. 

    In the ULS there's nothing special.

    If I try the exact same code above to read any other Resource data, such as ResourceAvailabilities, ResourceRates or ResourceCustomFields it works fine. 

    I only get an exception while trying to read the Resource CalendarExceptions:

    Oops... use .NET 3.5, not 4. That may have nothing to do with the problem, but Project Server is built with 3.5.

    Thanks again, Jim!

     

    I've changed the project to .Net 3.5 and the behavior is exactly the same.

    Just checking to make sure you're aware you can just add the Calendar details
    to a resource report in MS Project - and that will generate a list of exceptions.
     May be easier than what you're trying to do.

    Thanks Andrew.

    Because I'm integrating the system where our employees book their vacations with Project Server, I need to programmatically  access, iterate and manipulate the Resource CalendarExceptions.

    That's what I figured, but had to mention it.  Good luck!

    This is expected and documented Joao - but I assume you can still get to the data you want - but may need to pulll more back.

    From the SDK

    The xmlFilter parameter works with the Criteria operators to filter rows only in the primary ResourcesDataTable. For example, you cannot use xmlFilter with the ReadResources method to filter rows in the CalendarExceptionsDataTable. If you try to filter rows in a secondary DataTable, the PSI returns a FilterInvalid exception.

    Best regards,

    Brian.

    Thanks, Brian!

    Yes - I've read the documentation. However, I'm not using any Criteria related to the CalendarExceptionsDataTable - I'm only selecting columns from it. It works fine for the other Resource tables such as: ResourceAvailabilities, ResourceRates or ResourceCustomFields, so I'm wondering why it doesn't work for this particular table.

    Do you know other method to get access to this data?

    Best regards,

    João

    From your example it looks like you are trying to read calendar exceptions for a specific resource. I have been able to do that as follows:

                resourceDs = resourceClient.ReadResource(new Guid("b62b0cd3-4736-4504-a648-9d9c9403f556"));

            Console.WriteLine("Resource calendar exceptions:");
            foreach (ResourceDataSet.CalendarExceptionsRow calendarException in resourceDs.CalendarExceptions)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(calendarException.Name + ", " + calendarException.Start.ToShortDateString() + ", " + calendarException.Finish.ToShortDateString());
            }

    same here, I have to access project web service to read and manipulate data starting from vacations (inserted into a sql server)

    any suggestions on how to proceed?

    I'm waiting for the access to the MS project server, I still haven't written a single line of code
