Parameters

Return value

Type: WebSvcAdmin.TimesheetAuditExportDataSet
Contains audit data for the specified dates.

Remarks

Previous versions of Project Server required that a SQL query be run on the Reporting database to collect audit log transactions. The use of ReadTimesheetAuditLog provides a method call to use in place of a query.

Project Server Permissions

Permission

Description

ManageTimesheetAndFinancialPeriods

Allows a user to create and modify timesheet definitions and fiscal period definitions. Global permission.

Examples

The following example reads the current timesheet audit log and writes the results to an XML file. The example uses the SvcAdmin namespace in the ProjectServerServices.dll proxy assembly.

Note

The ConfigClientEndpoints method uses an app.config file for setting the WCF binding, behavior, and endpoint. For information about creating a PSI proxy assembly and an app.config file, see Prerequisites for WCF-based code samples in Project 2013.
