Permissions Issue

Hello,

We have a project server 2013 web app provisioned in SharePoint permission mode.

We have noticed that new subsites are not inheriting from the top level site. Is this expected?

Also users added to project managers for project web app group are not able to edit schedules or do much of anything unless we make them a site owner at the subsite level.   Is this expected.

Please Help!

Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter OEM evaluation Key

$

Hi,

One of our customers ordered new dell server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter OEM license as Hyper-V host. It will be installed in 2-3 months.

However he needs quickly one virtual machine which will be moved later to the new server. I would like to install for him Hyper-V host on PC and create Virtual Server using evaluate license and once new machine will be on place move it.

I have DELL OEM (Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter) media from another server but don’t have evaluation key which can use (those which I found on https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx don’t work with DVD which I have).

My questions are:

  1. What will happen if I don’t activate the windows to the moment when will be moved to new server? Will is stop working completely or just notify me about activation and won’t allow updates?
  2. Is any way to get Evaluation Key which will work with the media?

Thank you

Adding additional project lists to 'Issues and Risks' page

The Issues and Risks page consolidates all items from the project sites' issues and risks lists. I have an additional project site list called 'action items' that I'd like to add to the 'issues and risks' page with the same view.

Ive heard this can be done via SSRS but I have no idea where to start. Is there a tutorial for this? And is SQL Server required?

Changed a single date, had hours associated, overwrite - yes. date and other dates changed back to 2014

This morning I went into my Bay Integration project which I made sure last week ALL dates where correct and the dates where messed up all over the place.  Dates starting in 2014….

So I unwillingly went through and fixed them all, saved and printed it out.

Then I went in later to change a single date and it said it had hours associated with it and if I want to overwrite them and I said yes and thenBAM!! that date changed to some strange date and many of my other dates went back to 2014 again….

Timesheet entered hours are incorrectly recorded in the project schedule

$

We have Project Server 2010 and have the timesheet function set up as Single entry mode.  I have seen on a number of occasions where a timesheet is entered and the Timesheet and Status Updates are approved but when checking the schedule some time later, the actual hours in the schedule are different to the hours entered via the timesheet.

I can confirm that the schedules have not been subsequently updated manually to enter different hours.

In a current example, the planned hours are based on 40% units for a 40hr week which spreads the hours as 3.2 hrs per day (16 hrs per week).  The user actually works 2 full days per week (eg 8hr on two separate days - although the actual days varies from week to week).  He enters these hours in the timesheet (does not enter 0 hrs for the days he doesn't work), however once the Status Update is approved, in some weeks, one or two of the other days have the 3.2hrs recorded as actual hours.

This does not happen every week and is not consistent regarding which days the incorrect hours appear. Has anyone ever seen this behaviour and if so, do you know how to resolve it?

This is not an isolated incident and I am losing faith in relying on the schedule for the actual costs that are driven from this data.

Bulk Edit Tool - Lookup table

Hi,

We have successfully deployed the Bulk Edit Tool on PWA but when I am giving a lookup field as a filter, it throws a casting exception - Unable to cast object of type 'LookupTableTreesRow' to type 'LookupTableTreesRow'.

Is it the limitation of the tool?

Any pointers or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Send timesheet when project is checked-out

$

Hi.

I'm using Project Server 2013, Single Entry Mode is being used and I have setup auto-approval for everything (just to test things).

I'm querying the table dbo.MSP_EpmAssignmentByDay to get timephased ActualWork.

When I send a timesheet, it gets auto-approved and tasks get updated with the work I've entered in the timesheet and my query returns the correct ActualWork.

But, if I send the timesheet while the project is checked-out, the ActualWork I get back from querying dbo.MSP_EpmAssignmentByDay is not what was entered in the timesheet, it does not get updated.

If, later, I check-in the project the query still does not return correct values.

How can I get actual work from timesheets that were approved even while the project was checked out?

Hi

We are experiencing an issue where the resource is a Project Advisor that works with EMP and MS Project. He had noticed on a particular project that there are no actual hours (or almost None) in the months of Feb, March, April in 2015.

And we found similar on another project where user enter the fore cast data and do the baseline and publish the project, but the next day the  values moved back from Jan to Apr  -- As the user entered only May to Dec 2015.

One more project had all the actual like work cost and hours become 0, user is not sure what happened and when -- he had raised the concern now with us.

We are not sure what is happening with the actuals values, can any one throw some light on these issues and we are using Project server 2010 along with SAP integration.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Baseline rollup errors when rebaselining selected tasks

$
0
0

We are on
project server 2010. The Set up: Through our change management processes we end
up having to rebaseline portions of a schedule where some of the tasks are new,
others have been modified to reflect changes in resources, dates, etc. We
"mark" each of the tasks being rebaselined, which allows us to filter
to view just them and their associated summary tasks up to and including the
project summary (line 0). Once all of the displayed tasks are selected, we use
the set baseline function with the following options: selected tasks; from
subtasks into selected summary tasks, where all of the associated summary tasks
are selected. <o:p></o:p>

We have
found many instances where the modified baseline in one or more summary tasks
does not include the sum total of all of the baseline data that rolls up to it.
for instance:<o:p></o:p>

We may have
a level 1 summary with two level 2 summary tasks below it. Each level two has a
number of resource loaded tasks. Generally, the error occurs where some but not
all of the tasks that rollup to the level 1 summary are being rebaselined. In
most cases we're able to find the source using the task usage view and doing a
line by line analysis (lots of copy/paste to excel). Generally we find a
resource with timephased baseline data on one or more dates that while they are
rolled up to the task's baseline, get dropped or not included in a higher level
summary tasks, the error is then just passed up the ladder summary task to
summary task.<o:p></o:p>

Correcting
the problem is very time consuming with no guarantee that it will stay
corrected with subsequent rebaselines. We've been able to verify that the data
at the lowest level (resource and associated task) is correct


Interested in any thoughts.<o:p></o:p>

  • Saved and Published the project

What is happening and what are the steps by steps to resolve this?

Providing Project Link in workflow email notification

$

Hello Experts,

I want to send the project link (URL) in email, whenever a project is submitted for approval.

So in the Workflow email I use the project link as below

http://<server_name>/<pwa>/project%20detail%20pages/workflowstagestatus.aspx?projuid=[%Project Data:Project UID%]&ret=0

But this is giving an error, the cause is workflow is unable to access the Project UID.

So please guide me how can I solve this issue?

Is there an alternate way to access the Project UID from workflow?

Or is there any other OOTB solution through which I can send the Project URL in the mail.

Thanks & Regards,

Shanky

Publish Flag changes not publishing

$
0
0

Odd behavior discovered.

Starting point:  In a published schedule that has tasks that include: resource assignment(s), cost, and the publish flag=yes; the assignment is appears in the reporting db, OLAP cube, etc as expected.

Then after setting the Publish Flag on the task is "NO" and republishing the schedule it is removed from the reporting db etc. as expected.

Then the problem occurs when the publish flag is moved to "yes", the tasks/assignments do not publish to the reporting db or OLAP.

Work around is to manually edit some other value on the task (e.g. edit the note), then after publishing data appears in reporting db as expected.
