OBIEE 10g to 11g Upgrade Project plan

Hello All,
I am a technical consultant working on OBIEE/OBIA and the management needs a project plan for upgrading OBIEE suite 10g to OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6).
Can you please share some details as -task list and approx hours required. I have a rough idea of task list in terms environment setup, installations, configuration, custom code migration, testing etc. I want present a professional plan that is being followed by others. Dont want to look odd one out. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks you !

See this in the log:
*02712: Expected oracle.biee.admin:type=BIDomain.BIInstance.ServerConfiguration,* Oracle instance, found 0*
You will have to look into why the upgrade utility isnt seeing any instance recognized - it will only work with 1 instance registered and for some reason it cant find any in your configuration.
You could try looking in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Error Messages Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) for details on the error.
Ensure the service instance name is present in jps-config.xml.

Error Message when opening Project Plan on Project Professional from PWA 2013 using either Google Chrome or Firefox

Dears,,
One of our clients uses Google Chrome
as their standard navigator to open PWA 2013 that we have deployed for them.
Every thing went fine until we tried to open a project plan using Project Professional 2013 from PWA using the Edit in Project Professional option, we had the below error:
"Project Web App was unable to find the specified Project.
the project was not found on Project Web App. some possible reasons include:
The Project has not yet been saved successfully to the server.
The Project has been deleted on the server.
you don’t have adequate permissions to open this project.
if the project is available in the local cache, you can click the globe in the status bar and select "Work offline", and then open the project, if the problem continues, contact
your administrator."
Please note that IE is working fine with this scenario,
the belwo screenshot shows the error that appears to the users.
Ibrahim Al-Masri Technology Manager at MethodCorp

Hi All,
As Gary and Guillaume suggested, have you tried to install IE tab extension for chrome?
See the link below:
http://www.ietab.net/
and also im with what Dale has posted
(why don't you just tell the PM to use Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome?
I suspect that this problem reveals that PWA does not work perfectly in browsers other than the Internet
Explorer,
so I would simply mandate that all PMs and TMs need to use Internet Explorer for Project Server.
Just a thought. Hope this helps.)
from my side , i have tested it and it works perfect.

Project Server 2010 Timesheets not Updating Project Plans

We have several project plans that are not getting updates from approved timesheets.
Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
1) Verified the timesheet/task submissions by the resources
2) Verified they have been approved
3) Verified they have been accepted by the Status Manager and processed
4) All project plans have been published (I even used ProjTool ON the App server to do a full publish of all plans as a second step of publishing)
5) Verified OLAP was built successfully overnight (and every night)
6) Tasks have both remaining work and NO actual work in the Resource Usage view
7) Had a user recall and resubmit his timesheet using "Send Timesheet" to see if the task updates would come through - they did not (I am Status Manager and the timesheet shows Approved), and even published the plan and rebuilt the OLAP again,
just in case.
8) Verified that no tasks are marked for closure under Close Tasks for Update in Server Settings.
9) Verified Timesheet shows Actual Work on the Tasks via Pivot Table; compared Timesheet_User_View with MSP_Portfolio_View pivot table for project which shows 0 hours. Timesheet_User_View shows 33 hours.
All tasks have Remaining Work, are within the date range of the timesheet and are open for submitting time. Timesheets are still out of sync with project plans for many users and there is no apparent reason. I'm out of ideas!

Hi,
In status manager's approval center, history, status updates, can you check the status of the approval? Do you have any errors in the ULs log for the approval or publish jobs?
Hope this helps,

Issue while saving the project plans into XML

Hi,
Could anyone of you please help me here.
We are having one custom field(Type: Text) in the project level(Custom field name: ProjectComments) and end users are entering the data against this custom field more than 200 characters.
The problem here is when we are saving the project plans into XML and opening the same file again thorugh MPP, the data for this custom field(ProjectComments) is showing till 129 Characters only. Seems to be the data is truncating till 129 charachers.
Could anyone suggest me how to resolve this issue without trucnating the characters in the custom fields.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue with Project Pro 2010 SP2. Which SP do you have? How is configured your custom field?
Hope this helps,

Can a Column in a Project Plan be set to Read Only for everyone except Admins

At my company the Project Server Admins create the initial project plans. We want to add a new column that will designate each task in the plan as Capital or Operational. We do not want anyone to have the ability to change these.
When the Project Managers need additional tasks on their plans they will need to copy an existing one in order to have this piece of information pre-populated on their new tasks, since we do not want them deciding what the task should be themselves and populating
the field as they create tasks.

In addition to Dale's excellent answer, I'd mention that it is possible to make a column "read-only" for certain security groups in MS Project Pro with VBA code.
That being said, I'd suggest to follow Dale's advice using a "soft" solution.
Hope this helps,

Error in saving project plan in project server 2007

I am getting following error when I try to make a change and saved the project plan. It has happened several times since yesterday. Not sure if the file is corrupted.
Is it possible to make a copy of the file and mark the current file as inactive?
The File cannot be opened.
Check that the File name and path are correct.
Check that the File format is recognized by Project.
Project Files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98
can't be opened.
If your File is From an earlier version, open it in that version, click
Save as (File menu), and save in MPX Format Open the MPX File. When
you use this method, project data is imported, but Formatting is lost.
Has any one has same issue? any suggestions please reply.
Thanks-

Hi Micahel,
Thanks for the posting!
what would be solution inorder to make it working.i was looking at some posts which i listed below for some it had worked....i did not try it but just guessing it would work
1. Launch Project Professional 2007 and connect to Project Server.
2. In the new blank project (Project1), click Insert - Project.
3. Select the troublesome project.
4. DESELECT the "Link to project" checkbox and then click the Insert
button.
5. When prompted to save the changes to the troublesome project, click the
No button
Or in another case it may be
Saving as a template with re-open is a smart work around, typically when a network connection gets dropped. In these cases
we have copy/pasted to a new file, or, saved as XML and then reopened.
I appreciate any kind of help on it.
Thanks

Best Practice for Using Static Data in PDPs or Project Plan

Hi There,
I want to make custom reports using PDPs & Project Plan data.
What is the Best Practice for using "Static/Random Data" (which is not available in MS Project 2013 columns) in PDPs & MS Project 2013?
Should I add that data in Custom Field (in MS Project 2013) or make PDPs?
Thanks,
EPM Consultant
Noman Sohail

Hi Dale,
I have a Project Level custom field "Supervisor Name" that is used for Project Information.
For the purpose of viewing that "Project Level custom field Data" in
Project views , I have made Task Level custom field
"SupName" and used Formula:
[SupName] = [Supervisor Name]
That shows Supervisor Name in Schedule.aspx
============
Question: I want that Project Level custom field "Supervisor Name" in
My Work views (Tasks.aspx).
The field is enabled in Task.aspx BUT Data is not present / blank column.
How can I get the data in "My Work views" ?

Read only Sub Project Plans checking out in EPM

Hi all,
Has anyone working on Project Server come accross an issue where sub project plans inserted as 'Read Only' in a master Plan, check out and therefore prevent other access? Working on Project Server 2010 with Project 2010 SP2
clients.
The strange thing is that its not every single plan in a master that performs in this manner.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and does anyone know any fixes?
Thanks,
-CL.

We've always had security on, the only thing that changed was my understanding of how we were doing security.
Before, I had written a custom UserCC that always returned the same name, after I used the standard UserCC. I had the same results both time.
The cause of my error message is "MDS repository may be configured incorrectly", which I kind of figured, but there's nothing to point me to diagnose how it is incorrectly configured or how to fix it.

How to change actual effort in project plan when Projected Actual option is enable in Project Server 2010

Hi,
We have enable "Protect User Updates" option from PWA->Task Setting and Display->Only allow task updates via Task and Timesheets, to protect actual efforts in project plan that PM changes manually, however in some cases we need to allow actual
effort changes in open projects so it there any way or workaround so that Administrator or PM can make changes in actual even though "Protect User Updates" option is enable. Please Help!!
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Indeed when this option is activated, there is no way to directly update actual work in the project plan.
The workaround is to temporary deactivate this option, more preferly not during office working hours to avoid unexpected project updates.
A better workaround would be to ask the resource to recall, correct and submit again the timesheet, so the PM can approve an updated actual work. Finally the PM can use delegation to rscall and correct the timesheet for the resource.
Hope this helps.

Master Project Plan is not updatineg

I'm running in a situation where I have a master plan with sub-projects, the master plan will not show the updated sub-project plans in the web app until you open the master project in project professional and expand the sub-project summary task every time
it get an update, then you have to publish the master plan, then the master project will show the date changes in the web app.
Is there a way to make the updates on sub projects show up on the master project immediately without going through all that?

Sgasgous --
It appears so. I have not extensively used master projects in Project Server 2013, so I will gladly invite the others in this forum to correct me if my answer to you is wrong. For me personally, I have never expected the behavior you expect from
PWA. My habit is always to open the master project in Microsoft Project after updates are applied, expand all of the subprojects, and begin doing variance analysis. The process of applying updates will inevitably cause variances, which need to
be known and addressed. After doing that, only then would I save and publish the latest schedule changes. In fact, I would recommend this approach as a best practice for you as well! Hope this helps.

Can Resource Units be shown as a column in the main project plan?

Hi
When you open the Task Summary Information screen, you have the Units field - can this field be displayed on a project plan?
We use Project for resource planning and this field is used to show what % of a resource's work day is spent on a task. It works really well, but I'd like to see "Units" displayed on the main plan.
Cheers
Scott

You can add Unit field on any of the assignment view in PWA.
Server setting --> manage view --> Open Assignment view add Unit field from left panel to right click on Save.
Unit field is applicable in Assignment view only in PWA (Project Server).You can not add it in stand alone MS project Professional plan for grantt chart .
In Resource usage or Task usage you can add Assignment unit or peak filed which will give you the same result .
In MPP you can Use Peak field in resource usage view

Create a project from list item not working if EPT has Project Plan Template

HI,
i am trying to leverage the new feature in 2013 to create a project from an idea list.
This works fine if the EPT does not have Project Plan template assigned to it. Even through workflow action "Create Project from current list item".
However if i assign a project plan template and the user creating the project  is not Administrators Group member, i get an error. While doing this trough a workflow the worfklow gets suspended and i have the below message:

Any one has experienced this ?
Thx

Hi, RonyZ.
I think it could help.
I have experienced the same problem as you are, except "Create project" option, my managers could do it.
So, for me a solution was to set definite permissions for Workflow Initiators (I have created new group, but you can edit, including
Global permissions
New project
Open project template
Server configuration management
For category “My organization”
Open Project
Publish Project
Save Project on Project Server
Excuse me my translation, some names can be written not properly, cause I have localized SP.
In you case, I think, you should check, if you PM group has all these permissions.
And Workflow Initiator should be in group which has.
In LOGS error notifications starts with “Permission denied”, then goes account
name and then the name of permission which is left.

Project Online - offline project plan prompts for date range to be entered when accessing Resource Usage view

When I save a project plan to my local computer from Project Online and open it up in an offline mode and access Resource Usage view I get prompted with Date Range dialog boxes with the first one saying "Show resources/assignments that start or finish
after:" and the second one with "And before:".
I don't have any filters that are setup in Project Online that are not available in offline mode to trigger these prompts.
Please let me know what could be causing the date range prompts. Thanks.

Hi,
You probably retrieve an enterprise filter into your local file. Just open the organizer from MS Project, go to the filter tab (be sure to have your project selected in the drop down menu at the top left of right of the organizer) and delete the date range
filter.
Hope this helps,
