StatusApproval job failed

$

0

Hi,

I am currently using Project server 2007. A time approval for a project failed and is blocking the queue . Later the job got cancelled. My question is "Will the hours be approved or not? How can I check/redo the approval?"

Will the task updates will still be there in "Task Updates"? Should the Team Member resubmit his/her timesheet so that the status manager will receive the Task Updates for approval again?

Thanks in advance!




Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17207) crashes on 2nd lookup selection in JS Grid page - Project Server 2010

$

Hi all,

we are facing a scenario that crashes IE (11.0.9600.17207). When a user with IE 11 with that version opens a grid page (project schedule for example) and updates a lookup field, IE will crash when the user expands the lookup field widget for the 2nd time.

This scenario is not recreated on previous IE 11 versions.

We traced the error to the CustomFieldWidget.js file line 149 (form.appendchild...):

function AddFormInputField(form, name, value)
   {ULSQRm:;
    var el=document.createElement('input');
    el.type='hidden';
    el.name=el.id=name;
    el.value=value;
    form.appendChild(el);
   }

Can someone from Microsoft verify if there is alreaedy an open issue about it?

Thanks,

Roy

Project Server 2013 Portfolio Analysis Unknown Error When Running Hired Resources Report

$

I am working in Project Server 2013, and exercising the Portfolio Analysis capabilities. I've built an example portfolio of several projects which have resource plans. I've created several scenarios with different budgets (cost constraints) and also conducted resource analysis (resource constraints). In the resource constraints, I added an additional resource by entering 1 in the Hire Resources, recalculating, then saving under a new name.  This brought an additional project into the "Selected" queue from the "Not selected" queue.

I then attempted to run the Hired Resources Report and I receive a rather non-helpful error listed twice:  "An unknown error has occurred". 

Any ideas????

Updating a field automatically with workflow

$
0
0

Hi everybody

We are working with Project Server 2013 on premisses. We are building a workflow, and I would like to understand the behavior of the SharePoint Designer when trying to set a field automatically. We wish that our workflow goes like this:

An user starts a project and fill out a PDP. As soon as he sends the project to the next stage, the workflow has to set a field automatically. This situation will happen a bunch of times, in all workflow stages. So it was build like:

Stage A:

-wait to a project to be submitted

-then set the field 'Project Status' to 'Initiating'

-then go to Stage B

Stage B:

-wait to a project to be submitted

-then go to Stage C

... and so on.

The point is that I have noticed that the field is being updated only if somebody opens and saves the project during the Stage B. If there is no action after the project is submitted, the field remains empty. Is this an expected behavior of SD or did I miss something?

Thank you for the help.

Team project edited code saving problem

$

G'day everyone, I'm having some trouble with a team project I set up for a couple mates and myself. I've made a new project and got it to the stage so that they have all of the files on their computer and can edit them and stuff, but my problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to get it what they edit on their computer and then save the project comes up on my computer when I open the edited file on my computer.

Example ; 

John and Steve are making a basic windows application form that has a label in it that says "Welcome to the program!" 

John and Steve are both in the same team project and can get the project open in the Source File viewer fine. 

John decides to add a second line to the label, so it now reads "Welcome to the program, enjoy your stay!" 

John then saves all and Steve opens the edited file to find that it still says "Welcome to the program!" 

That might not be a very good example but it's the best I can think of haha. Whenever they change something on a form, I can't get the edited one to appear on the other persons computer. I think it might have something to do with checking in/out but no matter what I do I can't seem to figure it out. And help would be greatly appreciated in solving this issue.  


Alter the hoirzontal split in the requirements details view in Portfolio Analysis

$

Does anyone know how to move the horizontal splitter in the Requirements Details view in Portfolio Analysis - I have tried and unlike other interfaces for the Project and Project Server solution it looks like in this case you are stuck with what you are given and if your Portfolio Analysis comprises a large number of resources you have to scroll down the list and are deprived of a"big picture" view of Resource Demand for the Portfolio.

I would like to be able to focus on the "Resource Availability" element of the display and to relegate the "Project Requirements" element out of the way allowing me to focus on the resource information.

PWA 2013 - Task with automatically delay

$

Hi,

I use PWA 2013. 

I created a Project that started on 10/01/2013 and will end on 12/31/2014. Within the project there were some Summary, one of this started in date 04/01/2013 to 12/31/2014 (duration 173 Days). This Summary had a Task that starts in date 04/01/2014 to 12/31/2014 but Duration 50 days and a Milestone (12/31/2014). When I looked at the Assignment detail, I saw that Resources Task will begin  10/13/2014 with DELAY of 124 days. I would like that Resources Task began the 04/01/2014, otherwise Resources will not see this activity on their Timesheet. I know that i can change the delay by editing the Task, but can i set, by default, delay to  zero?

Thanks

Build team shows resources in PWA but not in MS Project

$
0

Hi

When using Build Team in PWA (Project Server 2013 on prem) we can see the resources that the RBS says we should see (those on the same node).

But when using MS Project, there are no resources available to add in Build Team From Enterprise.

If we use PWA to add them to the project, then they are there on the team in MS Project to be assigned to tasks.

I cannot find a permission that would cause this, or understand why PWA and MS Project would have such different functionality. This can only be something to do with categories/RBS though I am sure, as we are not using the standard out of the box groups.

Any ideas please? I am going nuts!

We use 2010 Microsoft Project & PWA. I recently was hired to take the place of a very knowledgeable person who used to manage others' timesheets. Now they will manage their own and want to see an example of their old ones. How can I view an example of one of their past timesheets?

Hi,

Installed Project Server 2013 on Sharepoint Enterprise 2013 and Windows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation.

After creating a PWA site and pulling out its menu, I see this: http://imgur.com/LwbuXHC

I don't see the View, Edit and Delete options that are suppose to be here. 

There were no problems faced while installing any of the components or creating the PWA site.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

Allowing the creation of users but not letting them be assigned to the Administrators group?

$
0
0

Hi

I am using Project Server 2013 on-prem, with Project Server Security. We have defined a local administrator group that is intended to allow for a limited set of permissions to local administrators. The reason for this is that we need the individual offices in a global company to be able to add their own users, but we want the ability to change configuration of Project Server to be controlled centrally.

However I have found that once I give Manage Users and Groups permission to a user in this Local Administrator group they can then simply add themselves to the Administrator group anyway.

Setting policy and training is not proving effective, hence I need to limit this. The desire is for a group that can create users and add values to lookup tables, but not add themselves to the Administrator group.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Ryan

I am creating a dashboard view in PWA that includes multiple lines fields. For some reason it showing the HTML Markups. For example <p> <P/>. Please let me know if there is a way to disable this Markups from appearing in the Dashboard and only show the data as we format it in the Project Detail Page.

Thank you,

Orphaned Baselines Everytime Project is Published - Project Server 2010

Hi,

Hopping someone can help with this.

I have a user who's plan keeps failing to publish with the known error below:

____________________________________________________________________________

ReportingProjectChangeMessageFailed (24006) - The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_MSP_EpmTaskBaseline_ProjectUID_TaskUID". The conflict occurred in database "ProjectServer_Reporting", table "dbo.MSP_EpmTask". The statement has been terminated..

GeneralQueueJobFailed (26000) - ReportingProjectPublish.ReportProjectPublishMessageEx

____________________________________________________________________________

I have followed Brian Smith's fix - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2012/05/01/project-server-2010-orphan-baselines-breaking-the-reporting-publish.aspx - by detecting orphaned baselines in the Draft DB and deleting them from both Draft and Published, however issue persisted when user published project plan again.

We eventually decided to save the plan locally, delete server copy and publish the (saved) local copy. This worked for approx a week where noticed that user had managed to publish twice successfully.

Issue recurred again as above and I'm now lost for ideas.

User advises the changes he makes are as follows:

  • Copy task summary (package) with x number of tasks underneath it, including external links which are greyed out, some of which can be inactive.
  • Paste  the copied data to the next line; which in turn makes the external links active and adds them as extra tasks to the task summary.
  • Deletes the extra tasks.
  • Proceeds to publish and gets above error.

While going through the pan with him, I also noticed that some of the external links i.e. those greyed out had a prefix of ERR i.e. ERR <Project_name>

Please Help!

Thanks

Capturing actual work for resources that do not have an NT ID

$
0

We are using Project Server 2010 with SEM and protected timesheet actuals.  This has worked OK for what has been our typical scenario which has been that work is assigned to named resources that our contracted through a vendor.  Those resources have NT accounts and enter timesheets in project server. 

A recent change in our environment is the engagement of offshore resources through our vendors.  These resources will not have NT IDs and the vendor will provide weekly udpates of actual hours incurred against projects/tasks.

I have set up work resources ( "[Vendor] Offshore [Role]" ) to plan/manage the work assigned to offshore.  What we are finding is that when we try to update the actual work for the resource: 

  • The system accepts the actual work (temporararily) but gives the message related to Actual work getting out of sync with protected actuals. 
  • The manually enterred actual work is wiped out upon save/publish.

I'm assuming that the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" is the "gotcha" here. 

My first thought was to go in as delegate for these resources and submit timesheets (which we could delegate to the vendor), but it appears that I am unable to set up a delegate for resources that do not have an NT ID associated.  There are no NT IDs that can be associated with these  -- the company's security policies prevent the creation of "dummy accounts" for these purposes.

Can anyone suggest options for:

  1. enabling "named" resources to continue to enter timesheets and prevent PMs from overriding actual work that came through the task updates
  2. enabling PMs to input actual work for these "un-named" offshore resources

if there are no pure options available , help assessing the risks/considerations related to compromise opions such as turning off  "Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" are appreciated.  I'm wondering if I need to used material resources for these offshore resources instead.

Note that in our reporting, we source actual work and cost for work resources based on timesheet data rather than from the assignments.

We have some Project files where the Cut, Copy, and Paste function is not working.  Suspecting corruption, I tried doing a "Save for Sharing", to no avail.

Is there a switch setting that we are missing?

We are using Project Server v2010 with SP2.  Our Project Pro clients are on SP2.

MyTasks web part not working properly after upgrade

After upgrading SharePoint/Project Server 2010 Service Pack 2 to 2013 Service Pack 1 MyTasks web part is not working properly.  On the PWA site everything works right.  However when I add the web part to other subsites, all tasks pull fine, but clicking on individual tasks yield page not found (off PWA site).  One thing I find interesting is the URL I see when hovering over a task on a subsite:  http://servername/pwa/subsite/taskdetails.aspx?proj=LONGSTRINGPROJECTID&Source=http:3A//servername/pwa/subsite/default.aspx  I verified both web parts at the PWA site and subsite are configured the same (essentially just the project web app URL of http://servername/pwa).
