Project Site's Tasks List not sync

Hello,
It seems I am having an issue with Project Site's Tasks List as it doesn't sync with the Project Plan/Schedule in Project Online.
In all of the instances, the setting in PWA Settings/Connected SharePoint Sites: "Sync Enterprise Projects tasks to Tasks List" is always checked.
The thing is that it used to work fine: whenever I published a new project, whether it was "Automatically create a site on first publish" or "Allow users to choose", the Tasks Lists were successfully synced.
Recently I have removed/deleted the existing connected project site and created a new one based on default Project Site templates, meaning the synchronizable lists (Risks, Issues, Tasks etc.) must remain. Now the sync problem occurred for both newly published
projects and existing projects. The Project Site's Tasks List appeared empty although it was locked for edit in PWA. I though the sync would have run overnight, but it didn't.
Does anyone have any clues about this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Linh

Linh,
What is the task list you see under the column Server Settings >> Connected SharePoint Sites,
under the columns Tasks List, when you use the default template?
More over, is this is a new project or an old project? I think there is an issue if yo turn off and turn
the sync option again for existing projects. May be it applies to projects that you delete and recreate project site for?

Sharepoint 2013, MS Project 2013 - Task List not updating when the project file is changed

Hi
I have created a SharePoint task list and timeline from a MS Project 2013 file on my PC. I have then created a new Project file from that task list which then places the new project file in the site asset folder and provides me with a synced copy. I now
only use the SharePoint copy of the project file in my MS Project as any change I make to the project file should be reflected in the Task list and vice-versa
However if I add some tasks into the middle of the project with MS project, the SharePoint Task list is not updated to show these additional tasks. If I open the SharePoint task list with MS Project - from the task list toolbar - the project file shows the
added tasks.....so the MS Project file in the site asset folder is correct but the tasks in the SharePoint task list is not being updated
Anyone seen this before ?
Thanks
Geoff

Hi Esben,
According to your description, the error occurred when opening the task list with the content approval enabled in Project.
Per my knowledge, when we enable the content approval for the task list, the field named Approval Status which is required will be created in the list.
However, if a project plan doesn’t contain a field that is required in SharePoint, the plan won’t sync.
The error occurs because of the required field Approval Status when the content approval is enabled in the task list, so we need to add the required field as a custom field in Project.
More information:

Is there any way to have a reminder's list not sync with Exchange?

I have my Exchange server syncing with my phone and want to keep my work task's sync'd, but do not want my personal task to go to my work computer. Is there anyway to have my task list sync and then a personal list not sync?

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

Project Server 2013 - Project Site Provisioning Settings - Do not create a site

Hi,
The Project Site Provisioning Setting "Do not create a site" prevents a site from being created when a project is published. This works, but it still prompts the user with a dialog each time a project is published. In 2007 and 2010, the only
way to prevent this dialog was to deny Manage SharePoint Foundation. In 2010, denying this permission does not have the same effect. Is there any way to keep this dialog from being displayed?
Thanks,
Erik
Erik RHS

Hi Erik,
As far as I know, if you deny the "Manage SharePoint Foundation" permission with Project Server
2010, it does remove the dialog box (see this excellent
blog post). Note that you'll get warning messages in the Queue with Job State - 'Failed but
blocking correlation'.
I remember that Paul Mather, a fellow MVP, created
a macro with custom publish button (the macro suppressed the dialog box).
Hope this helps,

2013, Resources do not synch if from MS Project to SharePoint task list

SharePoint and Project Professional 2013. I am synching MS Project with a SharePoint task list. Tasks synch just fine, but I continually get the synch error "We can't synch resource 'resourcename' to the tasks list because the resource
does not exist on the SharePoint server. This resource, and any other resource that doesn't exist in SharePoint, will remain assigned to the tasks in your project plan.". If I then select one of the tasks in SharePoint, add the same
resource (same spelling), then the resource gets synched to that and all other tasks in the plan (after I choose to use the SharePoint revisions in the popup window).
I am connected to Project Server and this happens for both a simple site synch to MS Project as well as if I use Project in visibility mode. I am posting to this forum because if I can solve the simple synch to SharePoint resources that will solve
both issues. We will have lots of PMs managing lots of projects and I would like to be able to synch resources from MS Project if possible.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Larry Christofaro, PMP, MCITP Tribridge

I am also getting this issue, but for few resources, I observed that these resources had a special character in their email address / name in active directory.
When I assign a resource from SharePoint it all works fine as mentioned by you.
Even I am not able to find a solution for this.
It would be great if anybody can guide us through this.
Thanks.

Mail Marked with Quick Flags (follow up) in Outlook, Tasks - TO-DO LIST - Not SYNCING

This question goes for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007
I'm currnetly using outlook 2007
In Outlook I store mail marked with "quick flags" (follow-up). Outlook shows theses flagged emails under Tasks \ To-Do List. To-Do list is under TASKS in outlook, but does not sync with Blackberry.
I use Desktop Manager 4.7 to synchronize outlook and my blackberry curve 8330 (calendar, memos, tasks and contacts). The behaviour of task synchronization makes that only task appears on my blackberry but not the flagged mails.
I guess what i'm asking, is it possible to synchronize the complete outlook to-do list with my blackberry?

Outlook already provides that feature (depends on the version of Outlook I guess) :
https://www.officecalendar.com/news/2006April4_convert_emails_to_appts.aspx
otherwise there is a macro that does the same :

Tasks List not sending email to AD Groups

Hello,
I have several Tasks list on my farm and all behave the same way.
If I assign a task to an individual person, he will receive email notification.
However, if I assign it to an Active Directory group, no email notification is sent. The AD group does have an email address associated. Using outlook it can receive email.
The email notifications for the task list is enabled. If I check the SharePoint logs, I don't see that SharePoint is trying to send mail to the group's email. If I assign the task to a single person, he receives the mail and I can see in the logs that the
email has been sent.
I have no idea where to continue the troubleshooting.

Try the following:
Verify that the group is an AD security group (not a distribution list) and double check that the AD group is email-enabled.
Check that the group had been explicitly added to a SharePoint group (such as the default Viewers group) with at least read permission to the site and to the list on which the alert was created.
Verify that the SharePoint group’s membership is set to “Visible to everyone.” (People and Groups>SharePointGroupInQuestion > Settings>Group Settings)
Would also be worth checking on the Exchange server to see if there any 'Message Delivery Restrictions' for the AD group:
Exchange Management Console -> Recipient Configuration
Right-click on the problem group and choose properties.
On the Mail Flow Settings tab, double click on Message Delivery Restrictions.
Uncheck the check box “Require that all senders are authenticated”

Reminders-sort order of tasks does not sync

I'm trying to use Reminders on my iPhone 4s, iMac running Mountain Lion and iCloud. Although syncing does occur BETWEEN THESE 3 APPS,
THE SORT ORDER OF THE TASKS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF SYNC. I need to sort my many to do tasks manually as priorities change
daily. Therefore it's important to have the sort order (sequence of task items) sync across these devices. I imagine many users would agree with this.

Just discovering for myself that re-ordering reminders can be achieved - but order is not synced between devices or shared accounts. Which is to say it's about as much use as a chocolate teapot.
For the record, I have thrown the equivalent of a message in a bottle to feedback - an action for which I believe the acronym is CWOT.
Also, it seems there's a thing called customer quality feedback...
Visit our Customer Quality Feedback (CQF) site at: http://www.cqf.apple.com/
However, it doesn't work...
Alas, it seems the writing is on the wall for Apple.

T (minimalist console task list) not working with python3

Lifehacker posted about this link to t, which is exactly the kind of python scripted task list I want to run in Arch. I grabbed it off his site, but have run into troubles when running it. I e-mailed him a couple times about the problem, but feel ready to post it on here and get some feedback.
-the e-mails-
print p + task['text']
^
I tried replacing p with the full string only to get the same error.
do you happen to be using Arch Linux? Arch recently make Python
3 the default system Python, and t isn't written for Python 3 (the print
statement is one of the things that has changed).
If so, you should be able to switch the first line of the script to:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
and that should make it use Python 2.x.
Yes, I am on Arch. Thanks for the reply! I changed the first line of t.py to use python2 and now get some new errors.
$t workplease

Output is the same old error:
$ t work

If I change the alias within bashrc to

So, perhaps I need to create the actual txt file for the list I want to use within the task directory?
Note, creating a txt file called today in the task directory did not help.

kinhodder has created an excellent minimalist todo list with python. Works like a charm.

SmartView Task List not opening FR report

I am trying to open FR report from a Task List task in SmartView (using Planning provider). If I am already logged into my Planning application in browser, the report opens. But if I am not logged (e.g., browser is closed), an empty page opens in browser, and at the bottom is status "Done" but with the error icon.
Is there a way (URL format) that would enable user to open report from SmartView Task List without having to log to Web client first?
Environment: EPM 11.1.2.3.500, FRS 11.1.2.3.503.0917, browser: IE 8, Excel: Office Professional Plus 2010
Thanks,
M. Sladic

Celvin, Ramkumar, thanks for your suggestions. My colleague, Soumyajit, discovered that the original method (URL) needed to be replaced.
Here is the original URL we used (this one was opening report twice on first open, and didn't open report from SmartView unless user was already logged to Workspace):
** https://i<server>/workspace/WorkspaceLaunch.jsp?uri=module%3Dwksp.relatedcontent%26repository_path%3D%2FReports%2FStatement%2520of%2520Financial%2520Statement%2520-%2520Expandable
Instead the right call is:
https://<server>/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=%2FReports%2FFinancial%20Statement%20-%20Expandable
Using this other URL, the report:
- when open from the Tasks List, opens only once even the first time;
- opens in Workspace without additional login when opened from the Task List in SmartView
Note: We are using variant of OAM, maybe that has some impact to it. Not my area of expertise, though...

Task list not getting copied in Order

Hi All,
I have created a Maintenance plan where my call object is notification. I have scheduled the plan & i got the Notification after releasing the call.
I am getting the Task list reference in Maintenance plan tab in notification.
Now my issue is, the task list is not getting copied to order when i create order against the notification.
Kindly help me resolve the issue.
Thanks & regards,
Basavaraj

Basavaraj,
When a order is created from the worklist (IW28) of notification , the task list associated to the notification will be exploded and added as operations.
Have a look at [Sap Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/fc/f26c3c17c8c67ee10000000a11402f/frameset.htm]

Task list not visible

I am working with Planning 9.3.1 and access to task lists is granted through groups in Shared Services. Recently I added a user to a group which should have given him access to a task list in planning, but when he signs in to Planning it is not visible from the drop down at the top of the page. I restarted the Planning service then restarted all services to try to fix this issue - neither one worked. Any thoughts on what I can do to resolve this?
Thanks,
Ed

Hi,
Have you tried migrating identities? Simply go to any form, task list or dimension member security setting. I can't tell on top of my head but where you see users and groups, you should see a button which says something like "Migrate identities". When you click on this button, Planning re-reads users and groups information and will eventually refresh the security setting.
Alternatively, try synchronizing users and groups information in Shared Services (Administration)
Cheers,
Alp

Project Server 2013-Tasks updates not replicating on schedule page

Hi,
We have updated the custom fields data in MyTasks.aspx page, but those changes are not updating on Schedule.aspx page evnthough those tasks are approved.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Thank You,
Kusuma

Prasanna explained how to do this using a Macro, and he also points out the perils. What happens when you have two resources assigned to the task? If User A enters a value of A and User B enters a value of B? Which value would you have appear at the task
level?
You can ask the system to roll down values from Task to Assignment, however you cannot ask the system to rollup values from the Assignments to the Task level without providing custom logic to handle the all of the potential possibilities.
Between Prassanna and Barbara, you have a comprehensive answer, I am simply trying to help you understand their replies. The key to understanding this is the "one-to-many" relationship between tasks and assignments. In practice, you might have a policy of
"one assignment per task," but that is not typical, and there is no way for Microsoft to guess what is supposed to happen to your custom task/assignment fields when one assignment value does not match another assignment value on the same task.

Family sharing/sharing reminders lists - not syncing

MMyself and my hubby have an iPhone and an iPad each. Kids have ipad minis. I have recently set up home sharing and set up a couple of reminders lists with the hubby. When it was just on my iPhone and iPads, everything seemed to sync fine. Now, the reminders lists don't sync unless I turn reminder off in the iCloud setting on the iPhone, and then back on again. I'm afraid I am going to lose something. Do I need to update some settings? It's kind of pointless if they don't sync across all devices.........

Hey There Amabilis9,
If your family member is not able to see the Calendar and Reminders on his iPhone, take a look at the Family Sharing article below for steps to resolve this issue.
If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support

Have a great day!
