Cannot edit Enterprise Calendar in Project Server 2010

I am configuring a new instance of Project Server 2010, have full administrator rights, and have run into a problem with the Standard Enterprise Calendar. If I try to edit it from PWA, after about 30", I get the "Unknown Error" Message, whether I actually
open the "Change Working time" screen in Project Pro or not. If I do get there, whether I start in PWA or in Project Pro, I cannot enter any exceptions to the calendar.
I have looked at solutions to similar issues here in the forum and they do not solve my problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

jcu123,
I have the exact same problem, it seemed to coincide with the installation of December CU; was this the same for you?
I am a user in the Administrators group which certainly has permissions to change Enterprise calendars. I went in my user settings and happened to change the value of some unrelated ECF's and it somehow started working again.
I tried similar changes in my QA environment but it still has the error there, so I cannot tell you really how to resolve it, but perhaps try some user changes and saving.

Edit Enterprise Calendar in Project Server 2013 unavailable to permitted users

I am working with a customer where members of the Administrator group attempt to Edit Enterprise Calendars but are prevented from doing so. A dialog box displays saying that Project Professional 2013 needs to be installed. It is installed and they can connect
from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server using a Project Server Account.
The customer in question has an IT environment that is quite strictly controlled and policed - users cannot make changes to Internet Explorer security settings.
In Project Professional 2013 the Project Server Account is already created by some kind of group policy when Project Professional is installed on the users computer - normally when I get people to first open Project Professional I walk them through creating
a Project Server Account.
Users can open, edit and publish their Projects created in PWA in Project Professional 2013 without problems, the problem looks to be when you try to open something from within PWA for editing in Project Professional 2013, invoking a request in one application
that should result in the request being satisfied in another application.
When users are editing their Projects in Project Professional 2013 they can be seen to have their projects checked out when the "Force Check-In Enterprise Objects" page is checked - for example John Doe's project is checked out for editing
by John Doe.
I saw on another posting about Enterprise Calendars that stated:
I checked the ULS log, and it seems that Project Server is using a user account of a different user to launch Project Professional, and not the currently logged on user.
They have a very similar account name so I figure there is perhaps some kind of issue here.
I am wondering if this is the cause of the problem or if it is being provoked by some security settings in Internet Explorer blocking the communication between Project Professional 2013 and Project Server. Are there any Internet Explorer settings that should
be changed to allow users to edit Enterprise Calendars?

How to Edit Custom Fields of Project Server 2010 Programatically

Hello,
I want to change the Custom field value of Project Server 2010. I am following the brain article. My problem is the code run successfully but the changes did not reflect to the Project server. Following is my code, Any Help??
private void UpdateRecordInProjectServer(string newValue, string projGuid, string propertyToEdit)
ProjectSoapClient projectSvc = new ProjectSoapClient();
CustomFieldsSoapClient customfieldSvc = new CustomFieldsSoapClient();
CustomFieldDataSet fieldDefs = customfieldSvc.ReadCustomFields(string.Empty, false);
LookupTableSoapClient loockuptableSvc = new LookupTableSoapClient();
Guid projectId = new Guid(projGuid);
ProjectDataSet projectDs = projectSvc.ReadProject(projectId, ListProjects.Project.DataStoreEnum.WorkingStore);
foreach (ProjectDataSet.ProjectCustomFieldsRow cfRow in projectDs.ProjectCustomFields.Rows)
// projectDs.ProjectCustomFields.RemoveProjectCustomFieldsRow(cfRow);
CustomFieldDataSet.CustomFieldsRow fieldDefinition = fieldDefs.CustomFields.Single(
cfd => cfd.MD_PROP_UID == cfRow.MD_PROP_UID);
if (fieldDefinition.MD_PROP_NAME == propertyToEdit)
cfRow.TEXT_VALUE = newValue;
//projectDs.ProjectCustomFields.AddProjectCustomFieldsRow(cfRow);
projectDs.ProjectCustomFields.AcceptChanges();
Guid sessionUid = Guid.NewGuid();
Guid jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
if (!IsProjectCheckedOut(projectId))
projectSvc.CheckOutProject(projectId, sessionUid, "Updating
CF");
jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
projectSvc.QueueUpdateProject(jobUid, sessionUid, projectDs, false);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
projectSvc.QueueCheckInProject(jobUid, projectId, false, sessionUid, "Updating
CF");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
projectSvc.QueuePublish(jobUid, projectId, true, SPContext.Current.Site.Url);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
Muhammad Ali

Try this instead of your last section(after last "if" statement):
jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
projectSvc.CheckOutProject(projectId,
sessionUid, "Updating CF");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
projectSvc.QueueUpdateProject(jobUid, sessionUid,
projectDs, false);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
projectSvc.QueuePublish(jobUid, projectId, true, SPContext.Current.Site.Url);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
Here is QueueUpdateProject inserted before Publish and checkIn replaced with checkOut

Project Server 2010 - Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization limitations

Greetings again.
I have a quick question about the limitations of Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization. Specifically, what has your experience
been with extremely large numbers of users (10k plus). Is anyone aware of a
practical limit of users in your AD group you would recommend when using the
Schedule Synchronization feature on a nightly or weekly basis?
There is a caveat to this question however. The client has decided (perhaps for some misinformed reasons) to allow access for every user, to every
project site, within their PWA environment. They’ve selected the View Project Site option within the
Categories for the Team Members PWA Group for which 90% of their intended users reside. So when we ran a couple test syncs in DEV with a smaller AD group of about 8,000 users, the sync understandably
lasted upwards of 18 hours. Obviously unacceptable for a PROD environment on a nightly basis and not necessarily ideal for a weekly sync either.
Experience in addition to documents like these, “Best
practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010” tell me that we are way over the practical limit of a scheduled resource pool synchronization...IF
the client really desires that all users access all their sites. But before I submit my recommendations, I wanted to check with the community just in case others may have found a way to synchronize large numbers of users (10k plus) on a nightly or weekly
basis, within a reasonable time frame AND allowed all users to access all sites within PWA.
What do you think?
As always, thanks for your help.
Chris Addis - MCTS

Hello Hrishi.
My delayed response has been due to a large amount of testing we have been performing on this particular topic. Here is an update, please feel free to provide feedback.
We went back to testing and spent more time reviewing the documents:
Best practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010 and
SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits. Our team interpreted those documents as saying, 1,000 security
scopes per site is a recommended limit. It does not say it’s a hard limit, just a recommended limit. “When the recommended unique security scope boundaries are exceeded, performance issue can occur.”
So we decided to perform some tests (31 in total) to try and get a gage of what we are seeing.
We needed to establish a baseline first. So we performed a series of 23 Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations with various settings in a clean, Out of the Box, environment in order to see some consistent numbers. Here is it’s summary:
Our AD group of 8,000 users took about 32 minutes, on average, every time to sync. The difference between the first sync and last sync differed only by 1-3 minutes.
Adding 40 project sites increased the average sync time from 32 to 120 minutes.
Adding 100 users to each of those 40 project sites, did not increase the sync times.
One setting (identified at this time) reduced the synchronization time. It was the
Project Site Permissions check box found within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Site Provisioning Settings area. By deselecting this check box we reduced or synchronization time back to the 32 minute
average.
The View Project Site check box within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Manage Groups > Team Members group had no apparent effect on the sync times besides what we had gleaned from the Microsoft documentation.
Naturally, this left us with a problem. As I’m sure you know, by deselecting the check box (Project Site Permissions), our project sites are now (figuratively speaking) orphans with no connection to the parent site. This generates
a new set of issues. For example:
Newly created project sites cannot be accessed by the owner and team members. They will require someone like the farm admin to come in behind them and add the intended users to the project site along with their required permissions.
All current and futures sites will no longer have users added via the standard method of building a team and publishing the project, but will have to be added manually.
You can use the Synchronize option found within Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Sites page, but that kinda defeats the purpose. It would require constant updating on a per site basis to keep up with
PM changes. Not very sensible, but it does work.
With this baseline information, we moved our tests into our DEV environment which somewhat mimics our PROD environment. This environment has 352 project sites and we performed 8 tests. This is where we had some large sync time numbers.
Here is the DEV test summary:
With the Project Site Permissions check box cleared, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 30 minutes to sync. This was in line with our baseline times. With the exception of one test sync that took 99 minutes to complete.
That anomaly is acquiescent with what I’ve seen over the years. Sometimes syncs do some unusual things.
With the Project Site Permissions check box selected, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 690 minutes (11.5 hours) to sync. Unacceptable of course.
So here’s what we’ve learned when dealing with extremely large numbers of active directory users in your Resource Pool sync:
We did not see a decrease in subsequent sync times after the initial Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronization as some might expect.
Our attempt to decrease sync time via the option of removing the View Project Sites was not successful. (Unless we interpreted Microsoft's document incorrectly.)
However, our interpretation of the recommended software boundaries and limits of SharePoint Server 2010 as it pertains to security scopes per site at 1,000, appears to be correct.
Using the option of clearing the Project Site Permissions does produce a reduction in AD sync time, but at a cost segregating your project sites and thus the creation of new processes of maintaining them.
I’ll remind others that these results are particular to our environments, there may still be exceptions yet to discover. Others may see numbers contrary to ours.
The biggest surprise to some members on our team (myself excluded) was that we did not see a reduced sync time after any of our initial syncs. Some are under the impression that after your initial sync, you should see reduced sync times. I haven’t
found that to be the absolute case in all situations, just in some situations. The reason for this still eludes me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I’ll let this sit a bit longer, but if no one disagrees with the results, I think we have our answer:
The number of project sites directly affects your Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations if you are using the
Project Site Permissions option. If you plan on synchronizing over 1,000 users
and you have a large number of project sites, proceed with the knowledge that you may have performance issues and long sync times.
As always, I’d love to hear from you or others just in case I’m missing something.

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.

Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.

Delete Enterprise Custom Fields in Project Server 2010

Hello,
We have Project Server 2010, SP2, in SEM mode. We recently removed some legacy unused Project Level enterprize custom fields from system, and observed that, the fields are not visible via PWA System Settings, but still see them in Project Pro, Project Information
dialog and also available as a field that I can add it to a view.
I have already tried following:
- Clear the roaming profile (global.mpt) and exit out of Project Pro, and reconnect to Project Server... but still see those fields.
Any ideas, why we see it, and is there any additional steps we need to perfome to remove from Project Pro?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Kishore Dodda

Hello,
They should have removed automatically. I have seen this before and carried out these steps:
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/02/22/projectserver-2010-msproject-enterprise-global-custom-fields-out-of-synch-ps2010-ps2007/
Fully backup the system before doing this and test on a DEV / Test system first.

Create a Custom View in Project Server 2010 that is Visible in MS Project

Hello All,
We want our PMs to consistently report Physical % Complete, but couldn't find an existing "Status" or "EVM" view. So, in Project Server 2010, using Server Settings > Look and Feel > Manage Views, I created a customized project
view using existing fields (no customized fields, if that matters). The problem is that I cannot find the view when I open MS Project. Under Manage Views, in the Format View section, I have selected "Gantt Chart (Views)" for the Gantt
Chart format field. The view defaulted to "Timesheet" for the Grouping format field. Under the Security Categories section, I have selected My Projects and My Tasks. I have not applied a Filter. Any ideas why I cannot find
this new custom view in MS Project?
Was I supposed to create the new customized view directly in MS Project? If so, where would I find the steps to do that? Thank you!
Julie

Julie --
Nice try, my friend. Your only mistake was trying to create the Microsoft Project view in PWA. You have to open the Enterprise Global for editing in Microsoft Project, and then create the custom view and table in the Enterprise Global. To
open the Enterprise Global for editing, click File > Info > Manage Enterprise Global. When you finish creating the custom view and table, then save, close, and check in the Enterprise Global file, and then exit Microsoft Project completely.
The next time you or any of your PMs launch Microsoft Project and connect to Project Server, the custom view and table will be visible for every current and future project. Hope this helps.

Odd circumstances regarding an 'unexpected error' in Project Server 2010

A couple of days ago, a client of mine started experiencing an odd error upon trying to save their project files in Project Professional 2010 while connected to Project Server 2010. They'd receive the following error:
An unexpected error occurred during command execution.
Try the following:
Verify that all argument names and values are correct and are of the correct type.
You may have run out of memory. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows that you are not using.
I am familiar with troubleshooting both of the cases as listed above in this error message and quickly determined that the client was not experiencing memory issues. I also could not find any instances where there were incorrect values in any project schedule
fields.
We eventually were able to replicate the issue by following these steps:
A user creates a new project via PWA using an Enterprise Project Type that has been pre-defined to have a specific project template applied to it. Please note that this Enterprise Project Type did not create a workflow... only created a Project Details
page, Project Information page, and Project Schedule based upon this template.
This new project is given some basic Project level custom field information and set to the PM owner and then saved and published without any issues.
Now, when the project schedule is opened immediately afterwards in Project Professional 2010, changes cannot be saved or published. Even the most basic of change at this point such as a new task line or renaming a task name will result in the error message
given at the top of this post. The user is then forced to close the project file and check it back in. Note this applies to anyone performing some or all of these steps.
Note: If a project file was created from this same template through Project Professional instead of through PWA, it was fine and no errors would occur upon further editing.
Because of the above, I decided to try and open the existing project templates used in the Enterprise Project Types that were being affected and simply re-save them with new names. I made no other changes to these templates than just giving them a new name.
I then created new Enterprise Project Types that would then use these new templates. Other than this change, these Enterprise Project Types were exactly the same as the previous ones which caused errors.
Upon trying the new Enterprise Project Types, the project schedules behaved normally and new projects created from them would not cause the error listed.
This is extremely puzzling obviously and now my client is concerned that this is a symptom of a deeper problem in the database that we might not yet know about.
Is this an issue that anyone here has experienced before, and if so, knows how to correct and prevent from occurring again in the future?
Thank you.
Daniel E Crabtree

Daniel,
Issue could be due to corruption ? Please provide us information about current server and client patch level for Project. Also ULS log information would be beneficial to investigate this issue

MS Project Pro file on Project Server 2010 does not accept [No Group] selection when clicking on Group view

MS Project Server 2010 gives me the following error when I try to click on the [No Group] group:
Error message:
The group "" cannot be found. You tried to display a view that references a group that is not available.
Specify a different group for the view."
Note: When I look at the drop downlist for the Group on the View Ribbon, [No Group] appears in the Built-in section of the list. It also appears on the Organizer.

Michael W --
I have seen this error message several times when the project got corrupted due to drops in my network connection while the enterprise project was open. If memory serves me correctly, the method for resolving this problem is to use the Save For
Sharing feature. To do this, complete the following steps:
Add the Save for Sharing button to your Quick Access Toolbar, if you have not already done so previously. Use the Project Options dialog for this.
Open the project in question and click the Save for Sharing button.
In the Save for Sharing dialog, save the MPP file in a location where you can find it easily, such as your Desktop.
Close the MPP file and then reopen it.
Click File > Save As and then click the Save button.
Using this process, Microsoft Project will resolve the corruption in your project. Please let us know if this process works for you.

Project Server 2010 - Change Status Manager

End Goal: We would like to perform this change via SQL statement - which I believe I have I feel like I am missing something and not sure what it is.
Background: We migrated from a different product to Project Server 2010, while our team members were assisting users to move their projects from the old application to Project 2010 they did not realize their names would appear as status
managers.
The quick solution would be to tell the owners of the projects to change the information themselves (republish or go in themselves and change every line); however we feel this can be cumbersome and too much work due to having hundreds of projects and there
are thousands of fields that need to be modified. I can quickly accomplish what I want with an UPDATE command and be done with it (no user involvement).
What I am running into in my test environment is that I can modify the fields (query below) to the appropriate status manager, but I cannot get the changes to appear in Project Professional - it still shows the old value.
I have used the following command to change the Status Manager to the Project Owner (I'm new to SQL, and we no longer have a DBA - so if my code isnt the greatest...I'll fix it)
USE ProjectServer_ReportingUPDATE MSP_EpmTaskSET TaskStatusManagerUID = MSP_EpmProject.ProjectOwnerResourceUIDFROM MSP_EpmProjectWHERE MSP_EpmTask.ProjectUID = MSP_EpmProject.ProjectUID
This modifies all the values correctly - Project Owners become the Status Manager in SQL
Question: Is there something I am missing or can do OR I am not doing to make this new value show up? Is there a better way to do this from an administrative point of view, with no customer/user interaction?
Your help is greatly appreciated
Thank You
kbwrecker

Merely my personal opinion having been a Project Server 2010 admin in a medium-sized corporation:
I think you are going to seriously do some damage if you go about trying to modify SQL tables behind Project Server's back. There are a LOT of operations that go into a simple "publish" and I doubt that the minor changes you want to make will account for
all of them. Are you confident you're adjusting all of the values necessary? You may have a detrimental impact on in-flight approvals, timesheets, projects, tasks, assignments.. There is just far too much IMO.
Believe me, I know it is not an ideal solution to have the business make their own adjustments. However sometimes it is just what has to be done. My vote is to craft brief instructions and send them out to the PMs. It's easy to do, they can change one row
and then drag the field down like in Excel to edit all the rest; it's a 1-minute operation, max.
Due to the nature of the field, (not being something you can edit via PWA, and even in Project Pro it only allows you to change it to yourself or another current Status Mgr) I think you'll have a hard time scripting this one via macro etc.. However if you
do find a way, seriously keep in mind your scope and don't edit them all at once, it will need to kick off publishes and check-ins for all the affected projects.
Good luck!

Project Server 2010 - Assigned tasks not visible in PWA

Hi,
When I enter an issue on a project site, the assigned issue is not visible in the PWA under Issues & Risks.
Based on this link (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f5abd024-3c9a-47f8-a7cb-7743fafebf2b/project-server-2010-cannot-see-assigned-issues-and-risks) I have tried to solve it however without success.

As I understand this error could be due to a mismatch between the fields that are 'standard' in the project server and fields that are op the project site.
If the reporting database could not sync, will consequently also the issues not be visible on the PWA??
Any suggestions how to solve this?
Regards,
Dirk

Hello,
Yes, if the Issues & Risks are not being synchronised to the Reporting database then this will impact the issues & risks appearing on the PWA homepage reminders web part. See this post on how the data gets to the Reminders web part in Project
Server 2010:
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/projectserver-active-issues-and-risks-on-pwa-reminders-web-part-ps2010-sp2010-sharepoint/
The error you are seeing is probably caused by the default Issue or Risks columns being edited or removed from the Issues or Risks lists. It might be worth taking a look at this post:

Add Bulk Users to Project Server 2010 site using a Script

I have 100 users that I need to add to a Project Server 2010 site. Add these through server settings would take a week to do. Is there a way to add users in bulk like with a script or something that can pull from an CSV
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am not sure if I got your question?
If you want to add these users to a site of a specific project, just add them as team members to this project. This will provide read access to them. If you assign them to a task within this project, they will alos get write access in this site.
If you want to add this users as Project Server resources and users and just have a list of them, you can use copy/paste. Go to Resource Center and click on Open. Project client will start with checked out Enterprise Resources. Add columns Windows User Account,
Email Address, and all other fields you want to fill. Make sure that the columns and the sequence of columns does match the columns in your file. Use copy/paste to insert all users into Project. Save and Close. Use Option Bulk Edit, if you want to define
eg Timesheet Manager. As a last step go to Server Settings - Manage Groups and add them to the appropriate groups.
Does this answer your question?
