PS 2007: Appears that calculated enterprise custom fields do not refresh when doing a PWA only publish

April 11, 2011, 8:37 am

I've got some enterprise level formula-based custom fields (health indicators).  I recently had to republish a huge number of projects to adjust an assignment owner and did this via the Approval History...Applied Task Update Requests and Errors b/c I think it's the fastest place to go when you have to republish a bunch of projects.

Anyway, after republished, I noticed that these enterprise level fieds (project and task) were all uncalculated.  If I go back into Proj Pro and republish, they update correctly.  Is this a known issue with republishing from PWA only?

Project Server 2010 compatibility with IE11 and Windows 8.1

Hi All!

Maybe a silly question since compatibility is always asked about older versions, but here is my question:

Is Project Server 2010 compatible with IE11 and Windows 8.1?

I personnaly tested with IE11 and it seems to be ok. All views and pages can be opened with IE11.

But what about windows 8.1? 

Has Microsoft done any communication about this?

Thanks in advance for your helps.

Cannot adjust summary bar style in Global Template

I am able to change the height of the bar to the Hal height, and save successfully, but when I check in and go back into the global template, the formatting is set back to the original summary bar format. I tested with a solid bar on this, and it saves successfully and works... It is only on the half height summary bar it keeps reverting. This is in Project Pro 2013 with Project server 2013 utilizing the global template.

Project Server 2013 PDPs - Alignment Issue

If i drop Basic Info webpart twice on a same PDP (to keep information sections separate) in Project Server 2013 on-premise or online, the two webparts will not align as the column width would be determined based on custom fields description. 

This wasn't the case in Project Server 2010 where both Webparts align uniformly and give a consistent look. 

In addition, the custom field description break a single word on 2 lines without putting hyphen. 

Have a look at screenshot below. Has any one found any solution to this?

Hi

we have an issue where some projects in a 2010 Environment cannot be saved from PWA. If you try to save them, the Job Fails.

From Project Professional that save Job completes without issues.

This is the detail Information from the Queue Job:

Hello All,

How can I compare before and after properties of a custom field?

Just like eventhandlers in Sharepoint, is there a way to compare the before and after properties of a custom field which changes during the course of an update event in a project.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013.  I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can click and see the schedule.  However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:

'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'

At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message.  At this point, I am no longer able to look at the schedule of the project either.  Can someone assist with this issue?

Thanks

Error on timesheet submission "An error occurred while communicating with the server.

Hello, we have many users who are encountering errors submitting timesheets following our migration to Project Server 2013 (SP1 April 2014 CU). The error is:

An error occurred while communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary.

This follows the specific timesheet, if I open a delegate session on my machine, I can reproduce the error. However, simply deleting and recreating the timesheet has resolved it for many users, at least until the next timesheet submission.

Has anyone seen this sort of widespread behavior and have a solution beyond deleting and recreating the given timesheet?

Thanks!

Project Server 2010 - Error Adding/Modifying Users

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. We are running Project Server 2010 with SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008. Project Server was installed successfully and a new site was created (server.com/pwa). When I attempt to add a new user (via Server Settings), or modify the existing account that was added on install, I receive an error on the top of the page. For a new user the following appears:

0de01bb7-786e-4003-8fe8-6790fae42248 -1 2 false true 3 0 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 false false 0de01bb7-786e-4003-8fe8-6790fae42248 true false

Once the new user info is entered, and I click "Save", the progress icon spins and nothing happens. No user is added.

When I go to modify the existing user, I see this on the top of the page:

•An error was encountered in loading the page. Refresh the page, or contact your server administrator if this problem persists.

moving data to a Project Content Database

May 28, 2014, 8:03 am
$

When I was installing Project Server 2010 initially I did not create a separate project content database (hence the name of the post)

I want to migrate my 2010 PWA to 2013 PWA; however, I can't unless I have 5 databases.  Since I have 4 databases and a SP content database which has the Project Server Content I cant do a migration to 2013  :(  

I have found steps on how to extract only the project server 2010 data but that doesnt help its not a separate content database.  Further, I can't seem to find a step-by-step process which outlines this, I can't be the only one who has not created a content database (well maybe).  I can create a /PWA2 with a new content database but that only complicates the issue since I have all my data in Production and dont want to go throught the process of creating a content database and telling my users to use /PWA2 until I migrate to 2013 shortly. 

Or am I misunderstanding the articles?  Can you create a second PWA site (/PWA2) and retain the first one (/PWA) while copying/moving the Project Server data to a content database?

With some work, one of the articles below states you can go from:

/PWA (no Proj Content DB) ->
/PWA2 (Proj Content DB) ->
/PWA (Proj Content DB)

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207296%28v=office.14%29.aspx

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332323%28office.12%29.aspx

What is the recommended best path forward for the data extraction to go to a 2013 environment so I have the 5 databases necessary to do the Project Server 2013 update/upgrade on the new database server.

I feel I have searched this endlessly for the best path but I keep hitting the same articles which say 5 databases this or 5 databases that. 

Thank you all for your help

Is it possible to link data across different/multiple PWA sites leveraging Master Project with the Subprojects feature?

June 17, 2014, 8:39 am

A couple different questions /similar scenarios

1) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 andhttp://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at a third (or X) site (http://server/pwa3)

2) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 andhttp://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at one of the original sites (http://server/pwa1 (for example))

OR is there a better way to do this/more preferred way to do this. 

We found this (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/2379c3f2-6c80-46d7-8eac-3bc2ccb2d908/master-projectsubproject-with-sites-in-pwa-2010?forum=projectserver2010general) but its not what we're looking for

3a) Issue/Example -

We want to set up a site (http://server/pwa100) for just the president of the company - all the schedules of the subsites (/pwa99 + /pwa98) create a feed into an integrated master schedule/master project with subprojects(located in /pwa100). 

3b-1) We also want to set up sub sites (http://server/pwa99 andhttp://server/pwa98) for each division VPs (and specific other people). These two sites would only allow specific user's project files to be viewed by each other...

Can their project files have linkages between the two project sites (/pwa99 and /pwa98)? Meaning if user1 logs in to /pwa99 can he see a project file (given that they have permission) from /pwa98 in the same instance?

3b-2) Can they see the project file in ProjPro and/or PWA ???

3c) is it possible to have:
+ /pwa100 (pres)
++/pwa99 & /pwa98 (two vps)
+++/pwa97 & /pwa96 & /pwa95 & /pwa-etc (minions)

each rolling up to the next level (level 3 rolls up to level 2 which can roll up to level 1)

Hi everybody

I've already searched the internet for a solution and unfortunately haven't found anything. Following case: The overnight patch changes every time the given permissions. That means that the patch deletes some permissions or that he gives permissions to people who shouldn't have permissions on specified projects. Do you have any idea what could be the issue?

Project server 2013 - 'Send progress for task' error on specific task

Hi,

We migrated Projects server 2010 to Projects server 2013 with the latest CU update installed: JUNE CU 2014.
It is the second time now after the upgrade that a user can not submitted a specific task.

This are the steps they take:

Go to timesheets, select this specific task and click on ‘send Progress for Selected Tasks”
Then they get an error message. (Translated to English, it is something like this:)

An unknown error has occurred. Cannotcommunicate with the server

Other tasks don’t give any errors and submit successfully.
When I check the ULS logs, I get this error:

Error using Line Classifications in Project Server 2013 Timesheets

November 20, 2013, 1:13 pm

Background:

I'm working on a Project Server 2013 environment that is using Timesheet Line Classifications. In our environment we are not utilizing the Standard Classification but, we are instead using Billable Onsite, Billable Offsite and Nonbillable.

Issue:

If I have created a timesheet, then I am assigned an additional task and try to add the task to my timesheet using a Line Classification other than standard, I get an error pop-up. As long as I add the Standard line classification first, everything works fine. If I delete and recreate the timesheet it prepopulates the standard tasks which also resolves the issue.

Questions:

1.) Has anyone else ran across this issue and have a fix?  

2.) Is anyone aware of a product fix in a CU or Hotfix to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Dustin

Status Manager bypassed... nothing in my Approval Center

May 22, 2014, 1:40 pm
$

Hi Everyone, We are using Project Server 2013 and all tasks in the timesheet must be approved by a Status Manager, not the Timesheet Manager. All the setups were done correctly and each and every task has its own Status Manager to approve the time entered. When an user creates his timesheet, enter the time for one of the tasks and submits it for approval, the Status Manager is able to approve or reject the work done. That´s the correct workflow and its working but my problem is when a task is assigned to the resource after the timesheet has been created. Imagine this, the user has been working on a regular basis during the week but in the middle of the week, another task is assigned to him. He goes to the timesheet, add that particular task, enter the time and submits for approval, the time is saved but never shows up to the Status Manager. The approval center stays blank.  The resource timesheet shows up as task auto approved. This is happening all the time and the last CU did not corrected the problem.

For now, the workaround for this problem is, before sending the timesheet the resource has to save, edit, save and edit again the time he entered in that task at the timesheet.
 
Yep, you get it right, We are saving and changing the time entered 3 times before sending the timesheet for approval.
 
Does anyone has the same problem? Does microsft said something about it?

Please we would appreciate any help in this matter. We have almost 300 users using the timesheet and it´s causing a lot of trouble, either the workaround or the task being auto approved.
