Hi,

     It's farely easy:

     You get the instance of the CL_DPR_PROJECT_O class based on your Project GUID. And call the method ->GET_DATA_EXT importing ES_PROJECT_INT. This structure contains a component TEMPLATE_GUID (type DPR_TV_ENTITY_GUID).  Use this to load an instance of class CL_DPR_PROJECT_T (Template), and then call method ->GET_DESCRIPTION( ).

     If you don't know how to load a project instance, just copy-paste the following code:

data:
    lv_convert_guid type dpr_tv_entity_guid.

  lo_project ?= cl_dpr_api_services=>get_object_by_guid( iv_project_guid ).

  if lo_project is initial.
    lv_convert_guid = iv_project_guid.
    cl_dpr_bapi_services=>load_objects_of_object_type(
       exporting
         iv_object_type     = cl_dpr_co=>sc_ot_project
         iv_object_guid     = lv_convert_guid
         iv_change_mode     = cl_dpr_co=>sc_false ).

    lo_project ?= cl_dpr_api_services=>get_object_by_guid( iv_project_guid ).
  endif.

     Preferably, put this code inside a method and use the more generic CL_DPR_PROJECT.

     Hope this helps you!

No problem,

We are struggling a lot with implementing PPM as well, mostly due to the fact there is no clear documentation. So it's really good to share knowledge!

Yes, almost same case with us, yes, very poor documentation, hmmm.

But, luckily as dead lines are coming closure our company engaged SAP consultants, hence now we are in good shape

Thank you

Hello,

You can get description for template from cgpl_text by passing template GUID. However you have to first find out the template used to create operational project and then pass its GUID in cgpl_text. I am not sure if I understood the question right.

Regards.
