Project Server 2010 - Issue with correct recording of timesheet actual hours with decimals

We have Project Server 2010 and are using the timesheet functionality for recording resource times/costs in the schedules.
It has come to light only recently, that for one user, suddenly the times she is entering are not being summed up correctly. An image of her timesheet and the manage timesheet screens are shown below. Note she entered 9.5 hrs but the total that
appears in the manage timesheet screen is 9.514hrs.
If you look at the history of the previous weeks as well, the weird change toi the total hours has occurred in the previous 4 weeks as well. I have no idea why this has started happening and am not aware of any change to the resource's details (apart
from a change to her hourly rate).
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks
Peter

We have this issue and are past the patch that discussed decimal rounding (April 2014, though it was more related to the application of resource rates). This seems different from that noted rounding problem.
We have at least three users (out of 625) that have this problem every week and it isn't always the same users. If we re-enter the time and zero fill the cells for the problem task it will fix it.
It is almost like when a user deletes a value that it is leaving residual numbers in the field.
Our 2010 server version below which is through Sept 2014 CU:
14.0.7132.5000
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

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.
Guillaume.

I am seeing a minor issue with the timesheet grid after users are upgraded from IE8 to IE11.
We are using Project Server 2010 with SP1 and Oct 2013 CU.
When some users (using IE11) switches between filters or views in the Timesheet page, the grid shrinks making to content un readable. The only way to get it back is to refresh the page. After a refresh, the grid returns to normal size, but the pane
divider is too far to the left and always must be dragged to the right in order to see the task names in the left grid.

Project Server 2010 Issue

Hi,
I am the farm admin and also the admin for /pwa site collection but I am getting "Access Denied" and recently other users are also getting access related error as attached.
I have found below error from SPLogs.
SqlError: 'The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content_XYZDB' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases' Source: '.Net SqlClient Data Provider' Number: 9002 State: 2 Class:
17 Procedure: 'proc_GetTimerLock' LineNumber: 52 Server: 'XYZServer'
So who should be able to fix this issue, SQL Admin or SharePoint Admin ? How about he solution.
Thanks
srabon

This is a SQL admin issue. You need to have your SQL admin (or you :)) implement transaction log backups (the T-SQL command is "BACKUP LOG") which will flush the log files from the LDF (log) to MDF (data) on a regular basis. This will also allow you to
truncate the log, if necessary.

Project Server 2010 PWA Provisioning Error - System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

Hi,
When migrating from a Prod Environment to a Test Environment using the Project Server 2010 5 Database backup and restore process (actually 6 DB's with the Project Sites DB), upon encountering a failure during provisioning the PWA Instance, we get the errors listed
at the base of this posting in our Event Logs.
To clarify what we have done already, we have:
1. Backed up the 6 databases from the Source Environment.
2. Removed the existing PWA_Content and PWS_Content (Project Sites) databases from the Target Environment Farm.
3. Restored the 6 databases in the Target Environment.
4. Given the SP Farm Service Account 'db_owner' rights to each of the 6 restored databases.
5. Added the PWA_Content and PWS_Content databases (exact same names) to the Target Environment.
6. Locked down (offline/stopped), all of the SharePoint Content databases in the Farm except for the PWA_Content database.
7. Run the PWA Provisioning process from the 'Project Server' SharePoint Service in Central Admin.
It is during the PWA provisioning that we encounter these errors.
As the Target Environment is for Test/Dev purposes, the SP Farm Service Account is setup to support all of the SharePoint Farm Services, is in the Local Admin Group of each of the Servers (App, WFE and DB), and is actually in the sysadmin
role on the DB Server.
Any suggestions on what is causing this denied access situation would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne

Project Server 2010 - Import Project Wizard - Local Resource Import Error

Using Project Server 2010 SP2 with admin rights when I encountered the following error:
Steps:
Upon importing a local mpp file with Import Projects Wizard
Mapped Resources. Some were mapped to enterprise resources and others were left as local.
Following completion of import process (mapped task fields, and save), the resources that were marked as "keep as local" were imported to the server as enterprise resources.
I have never encountered this issue with previous versions of project server and am wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue and if there is a patch? The error is consistently repeatable and I will check utilizing the account
of someone without admin rights to see if it happens there as well.
It appears that in proceeding to validation step, the import field is automatically defaulted to Yes when proceeding to step 2. If the user doesn't manually flag this back to No, then the resource is imported to project server.

Hi Luis,
I just ran a quick test and I couldn't reproduce your issue with PS2010 SP2. My local resources have been kept as local resources after the import process whereas the resources with a similar name than enterprise resources have been mapped with enterprise
resources.
Not sure which CU I have but I'd suggest you to upgrade to the
latest CU.
Hope this helps,

Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource hours into full time units in project server 2010

Hi
Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource available hours into full time equivalent units in project server 2010? Say a resource has 160 available hours for any given month this will translate into 1 FTE for this month. If it is 80 hours
for that month then it will be 0.5 FTE and so on and so forth.
Thanks,
-Maurizio

Maurizio,
It's a bit late, but there are two OLAP cubes that can provide you with this information in a pivot table in Project Server 2010.
"MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer" and "Resource Timephased" contains capacity measures that be used to provide calculated measures when the cube database is generated. You change OLAP cube configuration in "Server Settings -> Database Administration -> OLAP
Database Management". In either of the aforementioned cubes, use "Calculated Measures" to create two measures:
Member Name
MDX Expression
Available (FTE)
([capacity]-[work])/[capacity]
Work (FTE)
[Work]/[Capacity]
These two fields will appear in the pivot table field list as "Values", and when combined with a "Time" column, can give you a picture of FTE usage and availability.
I prefer the portfolio version since it contains project/assignment data and resource data, letting you see just how resources are being utilized.
One thing I have not been able to get around is getting ""Maximum Units" for a resource factored into the measure. A common practice is to allocate more that "100%" to generic resources to represent teams for planning purposes. The OLAP measures will show
only 0.0 to 1.0 FTE for any resource, even if a resource represents more than one body.
If you have an SSRS query you could share, I would appreciated it!
Hope this helps!

Project Server 2010 Web services access with Client Certificate Authentication

We switched our SharePoint/Project Server 2010 farm to use client certificate authentication with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0, which is working without issue. We have some administrative Project Server Interface (PSI)
web service applications that no longer connect to server with the new authentication configuration. Our custom applications are using the WCF interface to access the public web services.
Please let us know if it is possible to authenticate with AD FS 2.0 and then call
Project Server web services. Any help or coding examples would be greatly appreciated.

what is the error occurred when the custom PSI app connects?
can you upload the ULS logs here for research?
What is the user account format you specified in the code for authentication?
For proper authorization, the “user logon account” in PWA for the user needs to be changed from domain\username to the claims token (e.g.
'I:0#.w|mybusinessdomain\ewmccarty').
It requires you to manually call the UpnLogon method of
“Claims to Windows Token Service”. if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
{ var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity; }
if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
Than you need to extract UPN-Claim from the identity.
Upload the verbose log if possible.
Did you see this?

Project Server 2010 - Error 20010 with a master project and 3 sub-projects during publication

Hi,
Here is the situation :
One master project with three sub projects.
Sub projects are really similar (Same ressources and nearly same tasks but only the first contain real work for now).
Sub projects got no sub projects nor links between projects.
The owner of the master project got read rights through projects permissions on sub projects.
Sub projects are link in "read only".
We applied Project Server 2010 SP2 last week end and the issue appeared monday.
Here are the symptoms :
When we link only one sub project (Doesn't matter which one), the owner can publish, no problems.
With 2 sub projects, the error may occur.
With 3 sub projects, the error always occurs.
With admin rights, the error doesn't occur.
Here is the error :
ID : 20010 (0x4E2A)
Description : You don't have required permissions to perform the action (Average traduction)
Detail : <detail><errinfo><general><class name="Project"><error id="20010" name="GeneralSecurityAccessDenied" uid="19515c1d-2624-466f-953a-b7fc67337b81"/></class></general></errinfo></detail>
I'm unable to determine which sub project is the culprit, if there is one, as it's working when I link only one of them.
Thanks for your time !

Fylim --
If the project manager in question does not need to edit any of the three projects, the PM does not need to have Read/Write access to any of the three projects. Because you said that the PM needs to set links in all three projects, this means that
the PM will be editing all three projects. In order to edit the three projects, the PM must have Read/Write access to all three. Setting cross-project links constitutes editing of the projects, which is why the PM must have Read/Write permission.
Make sense?
Regarding SP2, I am not aware that this would change anything, but I could be wrong. The reality is that regardless of which SP you have applied to Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010, the PM in this situation MUST have Read/Write access to the
projects that he/she needs to edit with cross-project links. Hope this helps.

Any Problem Running Office 2010 SP2 with Project Server 2010 SP1?

We are running Project Server 2010 SP1 April 2013 CU and the desktop clients have now been upgraded to SP2 October 13 CU. We are having issues with projects in local cache showing as checked out when they are not actually checked out on the server. I was
wondering if it is problematic to run the desktop client on a newer service pack than the server and if it could cause this type of issue?

Hello, Aaron.
The answer is YES, you'll probably have some issues.
I would recommend:
Downgrade clients to match Server's version
Upgrade Server to SP2+October '13 CU
And my preferred:
Upgrade Server and clients to SP2 + '14 April CU

Issue in Custom Filter in PWA of Ms Project Server 2010

Hi,
i am facing an issue on setting a cutom filter in the Project Center view of PWA. I am setting a custom filter and it works fine.
Projects are filtered as per the filter. However, on selecting the filter for editing, I get a message viz. "Failure. There was an error processing the request".
I am looking for pointers and guidance to resolve this issue. Any helpin this regard will be appreciated.

Hi,
Evenif you already checked this out, it is likely to be a security issue. This functionality is managed by permissions in PWA server settings and not in the Central Admin.
Check this article :
http://msprojectnow.com/Blog/tabid/142/entryid/556/Enabling-Task-Sheet-functionality-to-Add-Yourself-to-a-Task-in-Project-Server-2010-PWA.aspx
Check if you're not belonging to multiple categories that might have the given permission disabled.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2010 Business Intelligence performance issue

Hello,
We've setup a Project Server 2010 Business intelligence center and everything seems to be working fine.
The next day when users attempt to open Sample reports an error occurs that when we apply the "refresh all Data connections" a couple of times everything works fine.
How do we ensure that this strange issue of "fake un-related" errors are not occuring for users.
Once the BI is accessed by a few people then the reports seem to work the first time otherwise if you are the first one running them in the morning you have to retry 4 to 5 times for the excel spreadsheet to show up?

Hello Claude
While there is a list to things to double check when configuring Secure Store, I think the first thing I will do is "Set Credentials". The password may be been changed or if several attempts to using the account is tried, it may have gotten
locked out.

Problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field

hello
I have a problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field.
Within a file or project, this project contains tasks.
Each task has completed the field% deviation.
Within the row "Summary" in the field of% deviation does not perform the sum of all fields of tasks.
Only occurs on certain projects, these projects have the view of PR Progress Report
Anyone know happens?
thank you very much

Hi
Sorry, I'll be more specific now.
Within the field% deviation. Your settings in PWA is:
The formula for field% Deviation:
Str (IIf ([Job baseline] = 0; IIf ([Working] = 0, 0, 100); IIf ([Working] = 0; -100; Int (100 * ([Job] - [Work Online base]) / [Working baseline])))) + "%"
Under the heading rows Calculation Summary:
> Use formula.
Within the field Allocation Calculation of rows:
> It is labeled the "Apply unless you manually specify".
The field [Job] and field [Job baseline] are fields Pack project server.
The error is in project, in the list of tasks.
In the top row, this row summary makes the sum of the ranks of the tasks of the file.
But in my case only in the summary field the same value appears in the tasks.
In all the cells in column% deviation appears the same value.
I hope it helps.
thank you very much

How to : Configure Project Server 2010 to work with Exchange Server 2013

I haven't seen any document with Project 2010 and Exchange 2013. You could still try the old document with Project 2010 and Exchange 2010.
