Resource filter is not working on 'Timesheet Adjustment' page. in project server 2013

Environment : Project Server 2013
In Time-sheet approval page, Time sheet manager unable to filter the resource time-sheet.
In time-sheet adjustment page time-sheet manager unable to filter the data as per resource.
Please help to resolve the issue.

Hi,
As far as I know, this feature which exists since at least PS2007 was never reported as "buggy". Thus I think it is an issue due to which user filters on which timesheets, meaning a visibility setting. It is really hard to debug for you since I
do not know exactly the steps you went through and your configuration. I would start by testing simple scenarios in a dev environment using delegation sessions to check from the timesheet manager point of view what he can see. It is also important to check
the timesheet status.
Hope this helps,

Got "Unknown error occured" when access to the Approval page in Project Server 2013

So long time find the solution, but cn't. Pls. help me

Hi,
Let's verify the following:
Whether the issue exists in all of the users? Done a test with a user with full control permission, compare the results.
What is the current SP\CU version installed on Server? deploy the latest CU, compare the results.
Whether the issue exists in other browsers, done a test in another browser, compare the results.
Whether all resources experiencing this error.
"An Unknown Error has occurred" is a generic error message. Please check ULS log for more detail information about the issue.
In addition, as this issue is related to project server, I suggest you create a new thread on project server, more experts will assist you:

Need to create a TASKS page with a filter default in PWA Project Server 2013 (Online)

Never done this so, I am wondering How to go about or what I would need to create a simple PWA page like "Tasks" in Project Server 2013 online where it default to a filter that is set to not equal to the user that is logged on?
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
The "my tasks" page or "my timesheet" are automatically filtered on the user currently connected. Unless you are using workarounds such as status manager or delegation, I see no way to bypass this.
Hope this helps,

Unable to Change Project Start Date in Project Server 2013

Dear All,
I have created new EPT in Project Server 2013. After that, when i am creating any new project in PWA 2013 by using newly created EPT, then i am not able to change Date as per my requirement.
Basically, EPT created on 02/18/2015 & even though i am changing Project start date then its again showing same date (02/18/2015)
Kindly suggest what i can do.

Hello,
Does this new EPT have a project plan template associated? What happens if you set the EPT not to have a plan template then create a new project from this EPT? Does that let you update the start date? The start date should default to today (date the project
plan was created). If that works as expected, add the plan template back to the EPT (if you had one to start with) and test creating another project to see if that then works or you then get the same behaviour. This will point us to the cause hopefully.
Do other EPTs work as expected?

Project Server 2013 reporting database change in Schema from Project Server 2010

I have a current Project Server 2010 implementation, I am planning to migrate to Project Online.
We have Customized Reports that consume from the PS 2010 Reporting DB.
Are there differences in the Reporting DB schema between PS 2010 and Project Online?
My Question is: if we migrated to Project Online, will the reports crash?
Another question is that, is PS 2013 Reporting DB schema the same as Project Online?

Hi Atia,
IN project server 2013 we have only one database instead of 4, it means draft, archive, published and reporting with in one database.Project Server 2013 reporting database schema tool that can be downloaded.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2013/01/28/project-server-2013-reporting-database-rdb-schema-reference.aspx
There are differences in reporting of on-premises vs. Project Online
The Project Server 2013 reporting schema includes three new tables, 27 new views, and a total of 33 tables and views that include new fields.
Answer-1 : Yes there are some differences between PS 2010 and project Online.
Answer-2 : Reports will crash as In Project Online you have to use ODATA to create report. You can not query project online data for reporting directly you have to have use ODATA.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163015.aspx
Answer-3 : NO, PS 2013 Schema and Project online Schema is different.

Saving Error in Project Server 2013, Need Help!

Hey All,
I am running into issues with a Projects saving from Project Pro 2013 to our Project Server 2013 Farm.
It is strange, when someone tries to save a project out of Project Pro 2013 to Project Server, it will run through the "Synchronizing Data to the Server", and then bombs out with error
Job Type: Save
Error ID:9000(0x2328)
The project could not be saved to the server, Etc..
My understanding is that this is a generic save error that could mean many things.
In the ULS logs under "Active Cache Save" , I am getting:
"Cancelling correlation 1339927b-e9e5-e311-941d-00155d2bc10d as save is an overwrite or resubmit"
What is strange at this point is if I check the project back in, and re-open/re-checkout the project, and try to save again, it is successful in saving.
Just a few details about the environment:
Project Server Version: 2013 RTM (In the process of upgrading)
SharePoint Version: 2013 RTM (In the process of upgrading)
Project Structure: One Master Project with all other projects being subprojects of the master
Published Status: All Published
SQL Version: SQL Server 2012 SP1
User Count: About 5 currently
Deployment: 1 WFE, 1 APP Server, 1 SQL Server
It is just odd, as it seems to be completely random. We have tried clearing caches out to see if that resolves it but it did not. It is just odd that it takes two saves for it to actually work correctly, and is problematic as the many times they are saving
from the master and it bombs out there.
I am not sure how it could be an issue as it is usually just a single user working on the individual subprojects.
Maybe it is an issue in the RTM? I couldn't find any info in any of the CU's or SP's that addresses this directly
Has anyone seen this, or have any suggestions?
MS Support has not been any help at all.
Thanks all

I have heard of issues with Master and Sub-Projects and both being published to Project Server, as a rule it is a feature I learnt to avoid as a result of bad experiences with earlier versions of Project Server.
Whilst this will not resolve the issue you have encountered the following suggestion may help you avoid pain in the future and leverages the potential of Project Server to represent common attributes for projects.
Typically a Master/Sub Project environment is intended to reflect projects that are commonly aligned - it is not unusual for a Master Project to represent a programme and for there to be multiple sub-projects forming the programme - there can be programme
level events that have multiple predecessors from multiple sub-projects.
Rather than create a master and sub-project situation I would suggest looking to define two Enterprise Custom Project fields to assist with such situations. The first being a Project Field called Programme that has a look up table with a list of current
programmes you can select from. The second Project Field would be a Programme Status Field with an associated lookup table with 3 values, Master, Sub-Project, Standalone.
You can have a project represent the Master (Programme) project and open it and all sub-projects in the programme (albeit this would have to be a one by one action to begin with). With all the projects open go and open a New Window in Project Professional
and elect to include all the open projects in the new window - this will create a new project with all the selected projects showing as
"embedded objects" and then create dependencies from sub-projects to programme level events in the Master Project (I would suggest what I call
"one way traffic" when creating "cross project dependencies" to avoid further headaches). Close the project, you will be prompted to save changes which you should do but do not save the new window
"container" project. The dependencies across the projects will persist - in each project you will be able to see external successors - tasks in the master project. In the master project you will be able to see external predecessors.
In PWA you can create Project Centre Programme views that filter to exclude projects that ARE Standalone and group them by Programme and sort by Programme Status Field - this will ensure that the "Master" sits at the top of the pile for each programme grouping.
Just a suggestion - I hope the issue you have encountered is resolved soon.

Project Server 2013 - Approved Tasks not applied to Project Schedule

Environment Details: Microsoft Project Server 2013 SP1
When an Resource completes a tasks within the Task or Timesheet page at the end of each day, the tasks is routed to the Project Owner for approval. The Project Owner (Project Manager) approves the task. During this process no errors are displayed.
When the Project Owner (Project Manager) goes into the Project Professional 2013 client to view how the project is progressing, and update the project completion date, the updates is not applied to the project.
This worked for some time, but has recently stopped working with no changes made to the environment. Any help would be great, as our project manager's are manually updating the tasks prior to approving them so they can report back on the project each week.

Hello ProjMgrMatt
Sounds pretty serious, but I think something is missing somewhere.
Make sure that the Status Manager field is the same as the Project Owner.
Check to queue to be sure that nothing is stuck and waiting.
Create a new project, publish, submit, approve, etc and see if it still happens.
Cheers!.

Hi,
I also get the same error when I'm trying to do the synchronization between Enterprise Resource Pool and Active Directory.
I am in a single domain topology between Project Server 2013 and AD, and I'm doning the synchronization with the farm admin account, who has read/write access to AD.

Project Server 2013 Anonymous Access (SP or PS modes)

Greetings,
This has become quite painful. I have two tickets opened with M$ and I've never witnessed that with which I am witnessing.
Simple question, how to enable Project Server 2013 Anonymous Access...I've been at it for over a week, I've tried in both SP perms mode and PS perms mode. And I've built a bone stock SP/PS server to determine if my farm's jacked or not. I get
the exact same behavior...prompt for creds. M$ told me today that anon has never ever been something offered in SP or PS today or at any point in the past. A simple gotomeeting sent that group reeling out off into outer space. I'm glad I
could help them on their technical journey, but damn't if I don't feel used for spending $1000 on two tickets.
Tried everything I could possibly think of...Please help, before I eat a bullet.

When you enable anonymous access to a Web site, you allow anonymous users (and authenticated users who have not been granted access to the site) to browse the entire Web site, including any list, library, folder within a list or library, list item, or document
that inherits its permissions from the Web site
I think you are referring to PWA/_layouts/15/user.aspx if I understood your query correctly.
As you could read, its referring to SharePoint list and libraries and not Project Webpart data.
Anonymous Access: Specify what parts of your Web site (if any) anonymous users can access. If you select Entire Web site, anonymous users will be able to view all pages in your Web site and view all lists and items which inherit permissions
from the Web site. If you select Lists and libraries, anonymous users will be able to view and change items only for those lists and libraries that have enabled permissions for anonymous users.
So this anonymous doesn't mean users can access, PWA pages like Projects.aspx with anonymous account. If this happens all anonymous users would see all projects...
Project PWA site, has pages like tasks.aspx, projects.aspx, Timesheets.aspx, etc. Users who access Project Server 2010 through the Web interface (Microsoft Project Web App) use these pages that are composed of Web Parts, which are modular elements that present
information on SharePoint pages. Now, to get users based data, this checks for user role, permission and data is rendered.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg314584(v=office.14).aspx
I am curious to know if you would like all users who have not been granted access to the site also access your projects? What is the objective or business requirement you are trying to solve here.

Project Server 2013: Set-SPProjectPermissionMode error

Hi,
In our environment, we need to use Project Server permission mode to fine tune permissions. According to documents, we need to run the Set-SPProjectPermissionMode command. However, when I ran it, I got the following error:
Set-SPProjectPermissionMode : There is a version mismatch between the Web server and the content databases, and connections to the data have been blocked to avoid data loss. This can happen when a service pack is not completely installed. Notify your server
administrators so that they can
upgrade the Web server and the databases to the same version. For more information about installing service packs and updates, see the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=177163).
The linked document does not offer any help. It talks about changes in Project Server 2010, while we're configuring permission mode in Project Server 2013.
Thanks for any information.
By the way, we've installed both SharePoint 2013 SP1 and Project Server 2013 SP1 (currently only one server in the farm). In Central Admin's Upgrade and Migration section, neither the content database nor the service packs (or any other updates) report any
errors.

Hello,
If you go to Central Admin check the following two pages:
Manage Servers in this Farm (in System Settings) - on this page what does the status show for each server in the farm, "Action Required" or "No Action Required". If any action is required, please resolve this before attempting
this PowerShell command again.
Review Database Status (in Upgrade and Migration) - do any of the farm databases status display action required or are they all "No Action Required"? If any of them require action, please resolve this before attempting this PowerShell command
again.

Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
AM* still isn't filled.
If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
Some tests I have already done:
I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
situation at hand.
It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.

Project Server 2013 - This webpart was unable to load

Hi all,
I am getting the following error in project server 2013 project sites:
This webpart was unable to load. For more information, please contact your server administrator.
<Guid>
I only get this error message on 'Project Summary Web Part'.
Any idea what it could be?
Thank you,
SJ

Hi there!
I got similar problem in a PDP that was working perfectly even after migration to 2013. On this case, my PDP was showing the webpart that let you to choose what fields and custom fields want to show on a specific PDP.
I created a copy of the crashed PDP and got the same error. So I bet for remove all the custom fields and add one by one to see what happens. The surprise came up when it started to work when my PDP had just pair of custom fields. With this procedure,
I found that the problem was on some specific custom fields created that had null values to all the projects created before. Once I forced value on those fields it worked properly!!
Sometimes EPM2013 has a very strange behavioural and in some cases just clicking on EDIT and SAVE without any change have solved some of my problems too.
I hope it helps this to you and feel free to contact me if I can somehow help you :)
