ProjectIDs

A group of one or more project IDs, specified by ProjRef.

 <Reply>
    <HRESULT></HRESULT>
    <STATUS></STATUS>
    <SchedulingContext>
      <Project>
        <ProjectID></ProjectID>
        <ProjectName></ProjectName>
        <Relationship></Relationship>
        <RelatedTo></RelatedTo>
      </Project>
    </SchedulingContext>
  </Reply>

Remarks

A relationship can exist between projects when:

  • Projects share enterprise resources (either those on the project team or in the input list).

  • The projects have inter-project dependencies (cross-project links).

  • Projects share resources with or have cross-project links with projects that are related to projects in the input list.

The last case in this list describes an indirect relationship.
