Resource shows as overallocated but is not

≪ Previous: Upload New Project Schedule without Overwriting Other Existing Info

I have a project that has been published to the server (PS2010). When looking at the schedule in Project Pro the resource (a few of them) show the overallocation icon (the red man). When I look at the Resource Usage view the resource has the overallocated warning icon. Yet when I scroll across to where the hours show red, the hours for all projects and tasks for the time period is less than the resource's maximum capacity for the time period.

Can someone help me understand why a resource could show as overallocated when all tasks for the resource for the time period add up to less than the maximum capacity? I have double checked the calendar being used for the resource is the Standard Enterprise Calendar.

I have also checked in the Resource Center and the Resource Capacity graph shows as UNDER allocated.

I need to know if this problem could be indicative of a larger problem. We are trying to isolate overallocated resources and get them resolved. If the indicators are incorrect, it will be way more difficult for the PM to resolve.

Reporting Database Duplicate Data Issue in Project Server 2013 - Only Multi-Lookup Table

≪ Previous: Resource shows as overallocated but is not

Hi all,

Has anyone come across this duplicate values issue with the multi-lookup table? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Environment– Project Server 2013

[Business Manager_New] is multi-lookup project server custom field column

The only one value is selected by the user as per above screenshot for the project. However, the SQL query returns the duplicate values in EPM_ProjectWebApp.dbo.[MSPCFPRJ_Business Manager_New_AssociationView] table for this project. This issue is occurring for multiple projects and showing more than 1 duplicate records.

Troubleshooting Steps (Already Attempted)

Reporting Resync– Resolved the issue initially but issue came back after some time and then reporting resync is not fixing this issue again.
Created the new project server multi-lookup table column but no luck.
Tried publishing the project using MS Project and PWA.
Reopened the lookup, and tried to resaving it.

Cheers, Badal Ratra MCTS

Hi,

Would be great if anybody could share a thought on this case.

I have a project manager/status manager who approves the task updates from the resources. There are also other leadership involved who would not approve the tasks, but would view the status of the tasks only.

Is it possible to integrate with outlook and send the updates to these users in mail, or is there any other option?

Thanks.

Roshni.

MSP_EpmResourceByDay table issue

Hi Everyone,

I've come across the issue with Project Server Reporting DB, MSP_EpmResourceByDay table precisely speaking. The maximal TimeByDay value there is '2011-08-31'. So there's no data for the current month. I checked this on another Project Server's Reporting DB, and the maximal date there happened to be '2012-08-31'.

Does anyone have any idea why the data in MSP_EpmResourceByDay can be limited to Aug 31? Is there any documentation in respect of this?

Thank you,
Alexander

≪ Previous: MSP_EpmResourceByDay table issue

Hello,

I have to solve this:

for our project we need several possibilities to sort, filter, ...

that´s why we defined many custom fields with lookup tables behind. But the lookup tables don´t work like we need it. So I have a new idea and i give an example

one field/table I define the type (1) what has to be produced, like: car, bike, truck, train

the second field/table (2) contains properties of the products, like: red, green, blue, white

the I define a third field, and there i can combine (1) and (2), like (1)[space](2) or (2)[space](1) - so that way like everybody is used to read it

the tables and fields (project) of (1) and (2) are the problem i have

for (3) it defined the field, and use formula like [1]&[2] and there was no error message

and i created as well (4) to roll down the information on task level

but when I add (3) in the detail page of the project or (4) in the summary task view - i can´t see a value.

Any hint for me?

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate from 2010 to Project Server 2013. I have migrated all the projects to a test environment and now I'm still investigating if it is working well in the new environment.

Regarding the Projects migrated, when I try to change/restart workflow I allways get this error:

The errors returned from the queue are as follows:

You can do the following:
1. Try troubleshooting using the error IDs, error XML.
2. Contact administrator with your jobID (a94d844e-a135-e311-9403-0050568f5a17) and error XML.

This error doesn't appear if it is a project created in 2013, it seems that in this case it is working well.

Do you know what is happening or where can I find information about this issue?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Also when I created the calander I selected "Add to enterprise" in change working time.

I still get the same error, "Enterprise calendars are needed". Am I missing out something or there is someother way to publish a project with custom calendar?

We are using Project 2013, Professional and Server, but not Project Online at this time. When a team member goes into the Project Center and clicks on a schedule to view it (in PWA not Professional), they can still see the Strategic Impact link in the left hand side menu. Removing the link from the Quick Launch menu just removes it from the main pages, not the schedule view. Is there any way to remove just the Strategic Impact link so that team members don’t even have it as an option to click on?

Hello

in PWA Project Center I have as Project Leader the overview about several Projects.

There are several columns which give me information.

For me - one is missing: i would like to see in this overview the task(s) or resource(s) which is/are working or should work on the project right now. So i need a new column like a currently working resource or task or whatever.

But i can´t find such a column n the manage views to add it for this view.

We might define a custom field like and care about the current status of this field, and add this field to the view, but we don´t want to care about manually.

Any ideas? Olof

≪ Previous: MS Project PWA: add task name to project center overview

We have a large project that we need to break into sub projects and have those under a Master Project. We are new to Project Server 2010 and Project Professional 2010. My questions are...

1. I assume you have to do all of the actual creation of the sub projects and master project within project pro.... the person having the master project would have to insert them, etc. as sub projects...correct?

2. If the person owning the master project publishes it to project server, will all of the people that have tasks they need to work, regardless of whether the task is a part of a sub project or the top level master project, still see their tasks show up and can work them in My Work without any knowledge they are a part of a master or sub project?

3. Can the owners of the sub projects update and publish to PWA of each sub project or does the person owning the master project always have to do the publish?
