Publish a project automatically in a workflow

Hello, all!
I have a complex Project Server 2013 workflow. The workflow is created using SPD2013.
On some stages the workflow sets Custom project fields value. This value stays Draft until user hasn't publushed Project manually using PDP or Project Prof.
How I can autopublish a project in the workflow?
I've spend some time trying to use "Call HTTP Web Service" activity (REST endpoint /pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects('projectid')/Draft/publish) by I cannot make it work.
I've created a console application which publishes a project but how I can use it in a workflow?
Maybe I have overlooked some obvious solution.
Any help will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!

    Nothing is built in Project Server to do this for you automatically.
    They way I have done this in the past is to create a SQL job using SSIS.  It runs every hour and when it sees a project schedule that has a recent PUBLISHED date then this is a trigger to send an email to project manager.

  • How to publish a project

    I have opened a project in project pro 2013 and have saved the project to project online using the PWA site import wizard in project pro 2013.
    The project was imported into project online 2013 and shows up in a number of the links in the "PWA Setting" page.
    It however is not visible in the project center. From reading the posts it appears that I need to "publish" the project but I see no links or command to do so.
    Also, when saving the project to the PWA site there were no "publish" prompts.
    Help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    From project pro you can publish the project using the following option once you connect to the PWA instance and open the project:
    File > Info > Publish:
    Or from PWA, once you have created the new enterprise project and saved it, click the Task Tab and Publish:
    Hope that helps

  • How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

    How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any. 
    Thanks
    James T.F

    Hi James,
    See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
    Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
    his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

    When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
    How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

    I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
    Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
    (Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
    In this case responsivness should work.

    Hi
    Error -50 paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    I have downloaded my family movies captured on Hi8 video through a Dazzle hollywood DV-bridge to the iMac. Everything went well until I tried to finalize the project.

    I'm having the same problem.

    It may mean you either your Event or your Project. Have you moved any of the files in the Finder by any chance? That error may come up if you moved anything outside of iMovie. Do you get an error message when you choose Share>Export to iMovie (choose medium size) and save it to the Desktop? If you can export it to the desktop, you can pull that file into iDVD separately and still make it work.

    Hi,
    That link takes you to the Facebook for iPhone app.
    You have posted in the Mac App Store for Mac OS X. (I know it's somewhat confusing especially with the new forum format).
    Try deleting the Facebook app from the iPhone by pressing down on the app on the iPhone until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x in it. Then tap the Home button to stop all the apps from jiggling.
    Now tap the App Store icon and and re download the Facebook app again.
    If that doesn't make a difference, post over in the iPhone Discussions forum at this link.

  • Project Professional 2010 Not Publishing to Project Server 2010

    I am having trouble publishing a project from Project Professional 2010 to the Project Server 2010 (PWA). What I am trying to publish is a master project which is contains many enterprise projects as subprojects. When I press publish, it prompts me
    to save and if I click yes then it goes through and saves all the subporjects and then just stops there and doesn't publish the changes to the master project. If I press publish and click no to the save prompt then it gives me the status "sychronizing
    data to server" for around 15 seconds and then just does nothing after the sychonization finishes.
    It usually should be giving a "publishing job done 0%" or "publishing job completed" when it publishes, but it gives nothing like that. I also check the project through the PWA and it has not updated yet, but when I open it for editing in the client it has
    everything updated and up to date, meaning that the save is working properly and just not the publishing.
    All my subprojects are able to publish correctly, it's just this master project that is not working.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Is the publishing process timing out for some reason? Or is it something else?
    Please help.
    EDIT: The progress notification at the bottom of Project Professional just stops at "save completed sucessfully" whenever I try to publish

    To check the queue, navigate to Server Settings > Manage Queue and view the jobs that are present. If there is an error when publishing you should see it in the queue.

  • Export PDF in Captivate 5 and Publishing CP4 project in CP5

    When I publish flash (swf) videos in CP4, I always tick the "Export PDF" option to also get the PDF version - and then offer the PDFs for download as an alternative to watching online (or send them via e-mail).
    I have learned to live with the fact that the PDF version  - sadly - becomes somewhat blurred. But now, as I am trial testing CP5, I see that besides blurring, the video in PDF gets also distorted - if this is a good word for it: As the software screens change in the video (I record software demonstrations), the new screens show some left over graphics (mainly lines or points - as if remnants of borders of objects, lines, shadows, etc.) from the previous screen.
    The similar thing happens when I publish CP4 projects with CP5 (which I want to do as the Neospeech voices sound much better in CP5) - I see the same leftover graphics, mainly in the full-motion segments.
    Any suggestions on avoiding these issues?

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    For this purpose you need Acrobat Pro, could you let me know if you have this app? It is coming with the eLearning suite. To export a Captivate file to pdf you do not need it.

  • Video not displaying correctly in published presenter project

    So I created a presenter project that is basically a series of video clips.  I went in and replaced one of the video clips, and when I republished, all of the sudden the video was cropped weirdly and filled up one corner of the screen instead of the entire section.  Any ideas on why this is happening?  In the powerpoint view, the video should cover the entire slide, it's just when I publish it for playback that this problem appears. 

    when you publish a project, other files that you did place manual in the folder ( like video files), don't get inside the published files, you have to copy the video from the source files to the published files
