Fiscal Year no longer displaying in project server 2010 views

0
0

Previously, our MS Project views would show the fiscal dates on any of the time-phased views. Recently we noticed that the fiscal period is not displayed on any of the views in project regardless of whether the "use fiscal year" option is checked or not. Our fiscal calendar is defined in PWA (no changes to it in recent months) and the OLAP cube still has it as a dimension and correctly shows the FY periods.

The only changes recently implemented was an upgrade to the Dec 2014 CU.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Excel access to Project Server

0
0

I am trying to create an Excel file that can access MSProject files stored in an Enterprise Server

I have a nice bit of VBA code in Excel that, given a file path, will go to a Project file, select the Timeline and then paste it into a sheet. Very useful for creating reports that combine timelines with other metrics. At the moment however it only works on test projects that I have saved to a standard file structure ie C:\documents\... etc

What I would like is to be able to access project files that are stored in an Enterprise Server. I haven't been able to find a standard file path to any of the 'Live' projects I'm working on

Can anyone help?

PWA Tasks - Task Hierarchy - Missing in 2013

0
0

Hi,

When I was working with Server 2010, I used to configure the reporting page (My Assignments view under My Work) to be grouped byTask Hierarchy in order to be clear about tasks with duplicate names.

In Server Online I don't see the Task Hierarchy as option in the group-by box.

Is there another way to do it?

Custom Fields Availability to Resource Assignments View - PWA 2013

Hello,

I have created some enterprise custom fields in my server.

When I go in PWA (Online) to Manage Views --> Resource Assignments --> Summary, some of these fields are available and some not.

A specific field I want to use is a task calculated test field. I marked it to roll down to assignment level but it didn't work.

Can someone explain me the logic?

PWA (Resource Center) vs. Project 2007 - % Work Complete Discrepencies

0
0

Hello,

On Project 2007 (12.0.6607.1000) SP3 MSO (12.0.6718.5000)

I am having an issue where a project will have a task/milestone showing 100% complete in MS Project, but in PWA under Resource Center, the task will show 0%. 

The resources are manually adjusting their % Complete and % Work Complete to 100% when finished. For my purposes, I am only interested in trackingmilestones for 100% completeness.

Searched online but the only solutions I've seen are for Project 2003.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,


AD sync: Can't save Active Directory group for Project Server groups

Hello,

I have a Project Server 2013 June 2014 CU with 2 PWA instances. One of these doesn't save the Active Directory group when editing the Project Server Security group. No error when editing and saving (even not in ULS logs). But it doesn't show the AD group in the "manage groups" overview or when opening the group. I already switched from Project Server permission mode to SharePoint mode and back.

thanks in advance for any hint,

If you create a view in a list you can use [ME] or [TODAY] to filter.

What other options are there? Does anyone know of a list of all of these context sensitive parameters?

Replacing Enterprise Project plan

0
0

HI, is there a method for replacing a project plan without having to fully the delete the project and its custom fields? The only method I can think of is to delete all rows in the existing project and then to insert the new plan as a sub-project and untick the link to plan tickbox as I do so. This will bring the new plan data into the old albeit now blank plan?

any ideas?

Timesheet Status = Error (Project Server 2010)

0
0

Hi

We have a number of timesheets with a status of ‘Error’ which seems to give us some trouble…

When the user goes to ‘Manage Timesheets’ the timesheet is listed with the logged hours and with a status of ‘Approved’. When you however click of the timesheet to drill into the details, the timesheet states that the status is ‘Error’.

If the line manager who approves the timesheets goes to the ‘Approval Center’ page and then on the ‘History’ dropdown select ‘Timesheets’, the page loads with an error message above the we part which states for example:

  • Timesheet 'My Timesheet', Stephan Smit, 2011Week01 (2011/01/02 - 2011/01/08): An error occurred while communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary.

In order to try and fix this we then try to recall the timesheet so that we can redo or delete it, but recalling it does not take effect – it tries to recall it forever but never completes the recall.

This means we cannot fix the timesheet and we encounter this issue with quite a number of users, but don’t seem to be able to determine reproduce steps for this.

We are using Project Server 2010 and are using the integrated mode for timesheets.

This is quite a critical issue and would appreciate any advice on a workaround as well as a possible fix for this.

Kind Regards

PS 2010 - Timesheet Approval Daily Hours Review Issue

0
0

When one of our PM's logs into PWA to approve his time in PS 2010, he only sees the total hours and not the hours by day...

The rest of us see hours by day and the total.  Prior to today, he did too.  I checked his settings and everything seems fine.  Can you give me a clue as to where to look?

Thanks,

Laura

Reporting in Project Server - Create S-Cost curve

0
0

Hello,

I am attempting to create reports for Project Server using Excel 2010 and PowerQuery+PowerPivot for my company. Among the requiered reports, I was asked to create a S-Cost curve (acummulated cost of project).

The idea is to create a pivot chart in which selecting a project from the list, I can get the accumulated cost from the last three months. I am trying to do this by using the OData file TimePhasedDataSet. The problem I face is that I can't pass to PowerPivot all data from TaskTimePhasedDataSet and if I select data with PowerQuery from the last three months, I can't know how much was actually spent at the beginning of this period. 

I hope anyone can bring light to this or recommend other tool to achieve this.


ISP address problem

Sorry, I am having trouble finding the correct forum.  I hope this is it.

My email is connected via cable to Bright House.  If my friend, using his computer at my house, accesses the internet through my cable router and then goes to his own provider and sends an email, which ISP will be in the header of that sent email.  In other words, can my ISP be identified because he used my cable router to access his provider?

Hi All

After experiencing the error code of death (23000), I deactivated the connected sharepoint site and now cannot reactivate it as I get a message saying that the project is currently being updated, however it is checked in.

Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?
