Find local resource name in database RRS feed

  • Question

  • This is related to MSPS 2007.

    I am looking at finding the resource name for the tasks where the assigned resource is not from enterprise pool. If I look at the reporting schema, the resource for such an assignment returns "Generic Local Resource". But if I see the MPP, I also get a name. Is it possible to get this name as in the MPP along with this?


    Does that helps?

  • I believe, that information is only in the published database. Since querying is not allowed directly on the published database, you will have use to PSI methods.

  • Hi Kangkan,

    The project plan contains local resources. Project save the information's for these local resources as "Generic Local Resource".

    You may be able to extract it by calling a PSI, but I am sorry I cant think of a PSI call that gets local resource names.

  • Hi,

    I wrote a post on my blog about fetching users emails:

    http://sharepoint1on1.blogspot.com/2013/01/project-server-2010-get-group-members.html

    Just change

    tEmailsList.Add(resourceRow.WRES_EMAIL);

    to

    tEmailsList.Add(resourceRow.RES_NAME);

    and it will return usernames of all users.
