PWA is on the local server but still PWA is taking more than 2-3 mins to load. Is there any way we can reduce this?

Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 60+ minutes.
Dear Sirs,
I need your support over the following MS EPM 2013 issue:
Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 30+ minutes. We need to reduce this total publication time down to acceptable working values 10+- minutes.
Environment information:
Single App Server (Virtual): 16 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 50 GB free disk space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service Pack 1, MS SharePoint Server 2013 and MS Project Server 2013 with CU December 2013 (KB 2850024) applied.
Single RDBMS MS SQL Server (Virtual): 8 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 200 GB free space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service Pack 1, MS SQL Server 2012 x64 SP 1 Enterprise Edition.
We have 1Gbit LAN between APP, DB server and 1Gbit LAN between APP and Proj Prof Client.
Yes, we are on the way of migrating to the Prod environment with 3-tiered architecture (with SP1 slipstream and CU December 2014 applied), but this issue alsopresents there.
Project’s file information:
Tasks in the file: [~4900], resources in the file [~396] enterprise task’s custom fields used in the file [~23].
Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed that tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 = 34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks relevant for new sharepoint site creation.
Case 1: Issue description:
During the Enterprise project’s file save and publication we have the following sharepoint 2013 log messages:
07.31.2014 12:43:17.22 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope (Persisting list changes). performing time =376.068676326181 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
07.31.2014 12:43:17.69 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope (Persisting list changes). performing time =361.652807828928 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
It shows that sharepoint spend at least ~350 milliseconds (or 0,35 sec*4900 tasks = 1715 sec, or 28,5 min) for each task update during project publication. And we also have another log file that shows that about 0,7 sec (or 0,7 sec*4900 tasks = 3430 sec, or 57 min) sharepoint spend for save each task in project file to project server. So total save and publication time more then 60+ minutes for that project file. The same result we have even if user didn’t do any changes at the project file.
We use only enterprise projects (dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView.projectvisibilitymode = «False»), and do not use sharepoint tasks lists, but the synchronization between MSP Plan and SharePoint tasks list works at any case.
Case 2: Issue description:
- For the second test we created a new project with new sharepoint project’s site on basis of our «issue» project, with total amount of tasks in it of 5148 (yes, we increased the tasks list default limit at the sharepoint site up to 6000 items in it – standard limits for sharepoint view list – 5000 items).
- Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed that tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 = 34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks relevant for new sharepoint site creation.
-Then we deleted the tasks list for that new test project from the sharepoint site and republish the project plan one more time. This time project save procedure took about 7 minutes, project publication about 2 minutes and 3 minutes for other relevant queue jobs. So total time is 12 minutes.
As a conclusion: yes, we have determined the exact problem - during synchronization process (from Project Server to SharePoint) it perform copying all tasks and related data from Project to SharePoint in spite of fact that you changed only ONE task or ALL of them. At any case, synchronization will copy ALL of them from Project Server to SharePOint task’s list.
Our workaround is to disable the task’s synchronization for such big-sized project plans:
– to delete the SharePoint «tasks» list at the SharePoint site tied with project plan.
- or deattach the SharePoint site from the project plan.
Thank you for reading this topic, please if you also forced with such issue provide us any known workaround or maybe any official response \ feedback from MS about it.
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards, Andrey

User specific task taking hours to complete and some times get failed in Project Server 2010

Publishing a Project Plan causes a full crawl of all Project sites in collection and pegs memory at 100% utilization
Publishing a Project Plan causes a full crawl of all Project sites in the collection. This causes memory on the WFE running the crawl to slowly creep up (takes about 15 mins) until all server memory is used. This in turn causes PWA client timeouts\errors as there is no available memory to process other requests. I've checked ULS while this is occurring and the following entry is logged thousands of times "GetSecurityChangesFromSharePoint : Site Id = '77415162-5a9c-461e-9c36-6f5aded60c4b'. db id = '4fed8194-d804-47aa-ba81-58e92a168c03'. Group membership/security policy changes detected. All furls in the in the site collection will be crawled."
Even though we are load balanced users connecting to the second WFE may still experience slow response while the crawl is running. To make matters worse if another project is published while the first crawl is running the whole process may be kicked off again; imagine what happens on Friday afternoons when everyone is trying to update their plans before the weekend. I've seen the memory peak for over an hour at a time as multiple projects are published, adversely affecting PWA and publish performance.
I've checked the "Project Server: Synchronization of SharePoint Server permissions to Project Web App permissions job for Project Services"timer job it is scheduled to run every minute (out of the box). It obviously isn't running every minute otherwise this process would never end as a full crawl takes about 15-17 minutes to complete.
Why is a full crawl being done with nearly every project plan publish, this makes no sense. It should only be crawling the specific site for the project you just published rather than crawling the whole collection each time. Complete site collection crawls should only be running after midnight when user traffic is low.
Is anyone else seeing this issue? I've been hitting the web and forums to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue and I haven't found a single hit. I started noticing this behavior about two weeks ago however it could have been going on for sometime as PWA performance isn't affected every time the memory peak occurs.
I don't recall seeing this behavior prior to installing the September 2014 CU. I've checked all the published CUs after September 2014 and it isn't mentioned as a fix in any of them. The only way I can see to prevent this is to disable the Project site sync feature and then do manual syncs as needed. This is obviously not a fix as I have no desire to be a sync monkey.
If I don't get any helpful responses from this forum I will open a ticket with Microsoft as this is not desirable behavior.

Trying to figure out how to enter time for resources that dont have access to PWA
I am fairly new to Project Online and have configured most of my server settings. I have created a project and set the enterprise resources then published the project to PWA. Once there the users with Project lite and project managers can see the
tasks that have been assigned to them and there time sheets also display the tasks. I can't seem to figure a way to enter time in for all the other resources that do not have some sort of subscription. Most of these resources are labor positions and do not
have access to a computer to input their time. This would need to be done daily by the shop supervisor. I didn't know if this was possible or if I would manually need to enter the that data for those resources in the actual work section in project manager.

Queue Error PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronization.PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronizationMessage
The queue gives a failed but not blocking correlation on project publish:
GeneralQueueJobFailed (26000) - PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronization.PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronizationMessage. Details: id='26000' name='GeneralQueueJobFailed' GroupType='PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronization' MessageType='PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronizationMessage'
Some details:
- On Premises instance, not Office 365
- The connected sites are not sub sites of other project sites
- Service Pack 1 and Feb 2015 CU has been installed
- User Profile service is running and all AD accounts exist
- Not all projects have the error
- Switched on verbose logging and no AD account is flagged.
- One of the projects doing this only has a single global resource that is not even an AD user.
- Distributed cache is running and properly connected with App Fabric
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
I switched of the "User Sync settings" for now not to get the error notification not to be emailed to the PM's.

Unable to change Task Start/End Dates
Hi All,
(Project Server 2013 w/ SP1 + Dec CU)
We have found a plan that has a task with erroneous start/end dates x/x/32 etc. The task has no planned work or actual work nor does it have any dependencies or external links.
When we try to reset the dates, we get a message from project server stating that the changes cannot be made as Project Server is set to allow only actual work be entered through timesheets or my work.I have tried to replicate this in another plan with the same constraints etc but I cannot.
The message is the same from project Web App and project prof.
Any ideas?
Tks,

Bulk Update Project Sites (PS2010) Not Working
Hey folks, I've a problem where I click on an Issue of a Project, and I get the dreaded "File Not Found" SP/PS error. Per documentation, running the Bulk Update Project Sites tool should resolve the problem for those project sites. Unfortunately, a number of sites that have Issues still show this problem.
Of interest is that prior to this problem, an AAM change was done, for example,www.my-domain.com to www.mydomain.com. The errors related to the above are due to the Issue still looking for thewww.my-domain.com/pwa site, which no longer exists.
It looks like an AAM change also caused this issue...but I'm not 100% sure.
Has anyone seen behavior like this?
Can information be changed directly in the databases to facilitate the new URL? If so, which URL?
Thanks folks, much appreciated.

Sometimes the field Locked cannot be updated in the view Close Tasks to Update in Project Server 2013
Hi,
Following the thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/7a5c7968-0c34-40e6-ad39-94753a722d46/how-to-use-in-ps2013-the-previous-ps2010-close-tasks-to-update?forum=projserv2010setup#eafb95c3-683f-43f4-bc59-f425670e97d5, now I know how to do it, but I have one more question regarding this issue:
Why in some cases there is no way to change the value of the 'Locked' field?
It looks ok when I change it through the Close Tasks to Update view, then I press Save, Publish and Close, to check the Project in, but then I open again the view just to check if it has been done properly, and in some Projects it is OK and all tasks are locked (value Yes) but in several of them it didn't pay attention of the changes and the Locked field remains unlocked (value No).
Is there any condition that must be met in order to lock a task?
Thank you for your help,

When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013
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
