Question

When publishing Project files to Project Server, there is an option to create a related SharePoint site.

I have noticed that when deleting the Project file that was published, the SharePoint site will also be deleted.

Is there a way to create a related SP site on initial publish, but then break the connection so that if the Project file is deleted, the SP site is not deleted?

This is SP2016 on-prem.

As asked in the comments, the way I am deleting the files is through the /_api/ProjectServer REST endpoint. So I guess that then begs the question - are there any kind of deletion options in REST that would instruct Project Server to delete the file but not the SharePoint site?

Was it helpful?

Solution

No

Project Server and Project Online derive their basic information from the underlying project file. That file feeds the charts, the alerts, everything. So deleting that file is like ripping out the roots of a tree and expecting the tree to still stand.
