Integrate Microsoft Project Plan (mpp) with Apigee X

Google Cloud Apigee

Dear All,

I am looking for urgent support on an integration use case.

We have a Microsoft Project Plan file (.mpp) stored in a shared drive, and it is updated regularly. We need to fetch data from this file and transform it for processing in Apigee X.

However, I tried and Apigee is currently unable to read the .mpp file format directly.

Could someone please advise on a possible solution? Specifically:
• Is there a way to expose the .mpp file as a web service or API endpoint?
• Can we convert or transform the .mpp file into a supported format (such as JSON or XML) before consuming it in Apigee?
• What would be the recommended approach for handling this type of file in an integration flow?

Note: we do not want to export as a file and then use it. The file will be regularly updated so we need to access the data dynamically.

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi @Rimsha_Aizaz - It looks like the .mpp file type is very specific to Microsoft Project, and would need to first be converted into a JSON or XML file so that Apigee can process it. It looks like it can be converted to XML, and Apigee could convert that to JSON using the XMLToJson policy. Hope this helps!
