Baseline API (Project & Task) to get the end date

Mario Noronha

• October 30, 2018 08:53

 I am looking at the documentation for Project

https://www.projectinsight.net/api-docs/help/model/projectbaseline

and Tasks

https://www.projectinsight.net/api-docs/help/model/taskbaseline

I am trying to get the respective Baseline Start Dates & End Dates that are displayed in the views => Task List

If i add the baseline column to the view. It will show me the current baseline Start & End Date for each task

At the bottom is also shows the Overall Project Baseline Start and End date.

I need the baseline start & end date to be able to calculate tasks / project delay

Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Mario

  Hello,

   

  This will require two calls. You will need to get the project you are trying to find the baseline start date for and include the "projectbaseline" in the model properties. When you have the project you will want to get the "id" for the "projectbaseline" object. 

  Then you will do a call for a project and use the "id" from the "projectbaseline" to get a project. The project that is returned is the actual baseline. You can then get start and end dates and compare it to the current project which you got in the first call.

  Hello Fernando

  I was able to get the Baseline record for Tasks about 17 days back when you had explained the process.

  I am now implementing this solution for a client and now I am not able to get the baseline information it is returning a null value

  I have tried this from the C# Client tester and it also returns a null

  As an e.g.I went to the Client tester screen on the following instance 

  https://aditya.projectinsight.net/pi-adm/integration/api/csharp-client-method?Id=ProjectInsight.WebApi.Client.Tasks.TaskClient&method=Get&rtn=%2Fpi-adm%2Fintegration%2Fapi%2Fcsharp-client-class%3Fid%3DProjectInsight.WebApi.Client.Tasks.TaskClient%26rtn%3D%252Fpi-adm%252Fintegration%252Fapi%252Fcsharp-client%253Frtn%253D%25252Fpi-adm%25252Fintegration%25252Fapi%25252Fsettings%2526_sy%253D2143%26_sy%3D708

   

  I added the task guid and show the model properties of TaskBaseline_id. After i invoke the method it gives the a popup with the TaskBaseline_id

  

  I then use this TaskBaseline_Id from and invoke the method again. It then gives me a null value

  

  Something seems to have broken with accessing the baseline data.

  Can you please check and confirm the scenario i have mentioned and let me know in case there is another way to access the baseline information?

  Thanks

  Mario
