Hi Alex

Can you explain the requirement in a bit more detail, as it will help asses the options & suggest solution or an alternative accordingly

Couple of things you might want to explain

I need to publish information from project web app site

[SKS] Does it mean only one site or multiple sites? 

to sharepoint internal corporate portal

[SKS] Does this portal already exist, or its a fresh idea, with corporate portal, i believe its already existing, also would need further information for eg. farm configuration, where this portal resides or is it fresh one yet to be created, what kind of data are you trying to publish? there are multiple ways to achieve this :)

Let us know the details and we would be glad to help

Answer 3

I will explain. I have a site collection that contains my corporate portal http://mycompany.com/int
I also have a site collection that contains the PWA site http://mycompany.com/ps
I need, for example, deliverables which are on the PWA site to make available on the corporate website. How can I do this?

Answer 4

Hope not bugging too much, but still need to further understand "deliverables which are on the PWA site", does this means its only a single list which contains deliverable or you are talking about all the deliverables available on Project workspaces which are part of workspace template (as deliverables are linked to projects)

if its the first one, which is its one single list & needs to be displayed in different site collection, would suggest use the DataView WebPart that hits the Lists web service, but in case its latter one, which is you need to tap all project or individual project deliverable, would suggest to use the sharepoint feature
External Content Type(ECT), Deliverable data is available within Project Server reporting DB & ECT can tap into it & display accordingly wherever you want, there is an excellent post by our colleague Andrew on using ECT to tap the Project Server data : http://azlav.umtblog.com/2011/03/25/using-external-content-types-with-project-server-2010/

Answer 5

If I create a project site, this site will contain list - deliverables. I need just locate this list on my corporate portal, that in other site collection.

That's all.

Answer 6

There are multiple options to do it, one way as already suggested using Data view webpart should get you the data you want, create a custom Data source as List web service connect it to the list you want & then use the Data view webpart to consume the data source & display the data
