CProjects-MS Projects Export - Role-Task assignment...

When I export from cProjects, I have data mismatch from cProjects to MS Project.
A task of 5 days is assigned to 3 roles:
Role 1 for 2 days
Role 2 for 1 day
Role 3 for 2 days.
However, in MS Project, the Role-Task-Assignment gets uniformly distributed across all tasks.
It shows:
Role 1: 1.67 days
Role 2: 1.67 dats
Role 3: 1.67 days.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Girish,
it might well be that this kind of scenario is not supported by the cProjects MSP interface.
I'd advice to check note 1126395 and what it has to tell about your scenario.
Best regards,
Thomas

CProjects rescheduling:: Role-task assignment adjustment

All,
We create a project with phase and task & role with staffing. We assign role-resource to task.
After sometime, we reschedule the project. Dates of project, phase, and task are changed. But the role validity, the role staffing duration, role-resource-task assignment remain unaffected.
Am I wise to expect
-automatic adjustment of role's validity to the new Project Dates? ('General' tab)
-automatic adjustment of role staffing? and ('staffing')
-automatic adjustment of role-resource-task assignment? ('task')
Have anyone customized in this area?
thanks,
Mathavan

Hello!
We had the same requirement as yours, and we had to develop everything to automatize such needs. It's not available in standard.
For information, we are working on SAP cProjects/xRPM 4.5

Include Phase for Phase with role task assignment in cProjects

Hi,
When I include a Phase with different tasks and the tasks with Role assignment in to a project, the task-role assignment is not gettting copied.
But when I use a Project template with the same Phase-task-Role task assignments, every thing is getting copied. But for Include phase the task-role assignments are not getting copied.
Can anybody help me how to achieve this functionality?
Thanks and regards,
Jashua

Hi Matthias,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Here I have a question. Because the method ''SET_DEFAULTS_UPON_COPYING' of the class 'CL_DPR_TASK' is being called in the both cases Create project from template and include a phase in to an existing project. So, if I implement the BAdI method I think it would effect both the times. wouldn't it create the role task assignments twice at the time of project creation.
Also please give me some more details about creating the role-task assignments in this BAdI.
Thanks and regards,
Jashua

CProjects-MS Project - import and export of task-role-resource assignment

Hi,
We are on PPM5.0
We are currently working on cProjects-MSP client integration.
What we have not been able to configure for import/export so far is:
1. Task-Role-Resource assignment
Whereas we are are able to import/export the "Person Responsible" and "Role Responsible" fields, we have not been able to align the task-role-resource assignments.
We see a "Resource Name" column (Standard) in MSP. When we click on the drop down, we see all the roles from the cProjects project. But the alignment does not happen.
Summary:
On export and import, we need to automatically see the role-resource-task assignment. How is this possible?
2. Code field to "VC_BUPA_GUID" gets a number which is not the BP ID.
Is it possible to import the BP numbers in MSP. Also, how can we assign a number to the role in MSP such that on import into cProjects, the role is already staffed with the corresponding BP.
3. Is it possible to export all the resources (BPs) into a drop down in MSP - like we see the Project Type, Role Type etc.
Thanks.

Hi Anuradha,
Thanks for your inputs.
When we export to MSP, we see the cProjects roles under the "Resource Name" drop down in MSP.
However, they are only seen when we expand on the drop down.
For e.g. RoleA, and RoleB are two roles in cProjects project, along with many other roles.
Both of these roles are assigned to a task, say TASK1.
When exported to MSP, we expect both of these roles to show against TASKI, as "RoleA, RoleB" under the "Resource Name" column. However, these roles are not seen. They only appear as elements of drop down, along with all other roles in the project, when we explicitly click on the drop down.
Please let me know if I are missing out on something.
Thanks.

Role - Resource - Task Assignment

All,
We have a requirement where a cProjects task may spread along for, say, 6 months. Resource needs to work on this task for only 2 days per month, every month (say) (Work - 12 days).
When the role is staffed for 6 months, this resource will not be available for the other projects. And therefore, we want the resource assignment to the task to drive his availability.
Is there a way out? Or do we have to staff the role 6 times (with the right dates)? The second option works, I know, but is not an elegant way to do it.
Thoughts/opinions.
Regards.

Thanks Niranjan for your attempt.
The business isn't quite liking the idea of doing so much when a resource is supposed to be working on the task 2days/month. For every time that the resource is to work, the cProjects user would have to staff to the role (or create a role, as you suggested). Everytime, the dates have to be mnaully entered for staffing, Project Role, Resource to task assignment and so on.
They want this to be done at one place and would like this data to reflect elsewhere. For e.g. when the resource is assigned to the task, this data should drive availability of the resource - is what they want.
Let me know if I am missing on any of the obvious functionalities of cProjects resource management that I may try to resolve this issue.
Thanks again.

CProject user cannot edit (confirm) their assigned tasks

Dear Experts,
we are facing an unexpected behaviour on cProjects: project user cannot edit (confirm) their assigned tasks, because the authorizations at the task level for user appear as Read (authorizations view on task), while on the project definition, for the same tasks the user is assigned Write permissions. Something must be happening in between that we are not getting right.
More details on the configuration behind and the process:
- In Project definition level, project roles (coming from a project template) are staffed to users (business partners)
- Project roles coming from project template are assigned to a project role type with Default authorization set as Read. Because we want all project users to be able to access in read mode to the whole project and tasks; and then be able to edit (Confirm) only their assigned tasks. Except for the project manager role, who has a different project role type assigned wih Admin default authorization set
- After making the staffing at project level, this seems to be working fine: all project users have read access assigned at project structure level and rest of tasks, except the project manager who has Admin authorization. And for each task, the user assigned to the task has write permissions.
- But when a user open the task from the tasks dashboard, and go to the Authorizations tab, then the user has Read permission for the same task, which causes the consequence of not being able to Edit and Confirm.
Can you guide us to understand why the Write authorization is being overriden to Read at user access? Should not the default authorization “read” at project role type be overwritten by the assignment of the user to the task?
Maybe is there other configuration setting that is missing or needs to be checked?
Many thanks in advance,
Roberto

Thanks Ravi, I answer your questions:
1) How did you give write access? - Manually in ACL-Authorisations tab or through selection of responsible role/person in basic tab.
we use the second option. We create projects from templates that have roles assigned to tasks. After we complete staffing in the project, we assign users (business partners) to each project role. After this, automatically, users are assigned as task Responsible and receive their tasks assigned in the task dashboard.
Question here: since we do not use Resources, the field responsible resource is not used/filled- Is this required?
2) Whether the task accessed by the user is in 'Released' status?
yes, tasks are released, so that ther users receive the task in Tasks Dashboard, but due to the permissions issue, they cannot confirm task
The only possible workaround we have found to solve the issue is to assign Write authorizations to all users, but at project level. So the consequence is that users can edit all the project tasks (not only their assigned tasks) and we want to avoid that. We want users to have read access to whole project and write access to their assigned tasks (by staffinf Users to roles)
thanks again for help.
best regards,
Roberto

CProject 4.0 Task Assignment/ Scheduling Changes

Hi All,
My Question is about Task Assignment with the Role Functionality,
Scenario: I have created a Task A with validity Period 08/1/07 - 08/31/07
and than created a Role A with validity Period 08/1/07 - 08/31/07, and than hard booked a resource (Bob) with validity 08/1/07 - 08/31/07 {30 hrs} to the Role A,
Now as a part of Task Assignment I have linked the Role A to the Task A.
Question 1) If the Project Manager now changes the Task A validity Period 08/1/07 - 10/31/07, and does the scheduling in the project ,Is there any way to automatically shift the dates of Role A to 08/01/07 - 10/31/07 and than the Resource to 08/01/07 - 10/31/07,
Question 2) Is there any Mass tool option to change Dates other than the Table view
Hope I made my questions 2 clear,
Thanks

Thanks Shiv for the response,
You are right, I change Task dates by using the Graphical view, but it will not change the Role Dates, assigned to the Task, as they both are not tied together,
I wanted to know if there is anyway, i can shift theRoles dates using the Task Date Shifting, other than coding
Thanks

*PowerShell
*SharePoint migrering
*Enterprise Content Managment
*Business Intelligence
*social business platform
*SharePoint analyst
*SharePoint Enterprise Search
*Document management
*SharePoint Cloud

What more am I missing that is important to add?
Please remember that I'm a newbie in SharePoint 2013.

I understand you have added ECM but I would also add Records Management, Machine Translation Service and Community Sites.
If you want to add features then you should also include Office Web Apps, Cross Browser Support and Responsive Web Design.

Project 2013 REST API - getting all tasks assigned to a user

I'm trying to get all tasks assigned to a user to display something like you would see in "My Tasks" using the REST API.
I found this: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/a5d8760d-8e27-432b-8187-592cadf302ae/get-my-tasks-tasks-via-rest-api-or-web-services?forum=sharepointdevelopment
But it doesn't seem to pertain to Project 2013.
Any idea on how I could do this?
As an aside, I'm having some trouble with finding guidance in the documentation. Are there any Project 2013 developer resources that break things down a little more than the SDK? Everything I've found is pretty Sharepoint-centered, not really getting into
the specifics of Project.

Check the samples folder which gets installed with SDK, there you will find some samples, however may not be the REST but with CSOM you could try something like this, i am sure you would be able to convert this pretty easily, in case required
projContext = new ProjectContext(pwaPath);
var PrjList = projContext.LoadQuery(projContext.Projects.Where(Prj => Prj.Name == newProjName));
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
var GotPrj = PrjList.First();
//DraftProject projCheckedOut = GotPrj.CheckOut();
projContext.Load(GotPrj.Tasks);
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var tsk in GotPrj.Tasks)
this.textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "Task Name: " + tsk.Name + " || Task Work: " + tsk.Work +" || Task Remaining Work: " +tsk.RemainingWork;
projContext.Load(tsk.Assignments);
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var tskAssgn in tsk.Assignments)
projContext.Load(tskAssgn.Resource);
projContext.ExecuteQuery();
this.textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + tskAssgn.Resource.Name + "--Res ID--" + tskAssgn.Resource.Id +
"----Assgn ID: " + tskAssgn.Id + " || Actual Work: " + tskAssgn.ActualWork +
" || Assgn Remaining Work: " + tskAssgn.RemainingWork
+ " || Assgn minDate: " + tskAssgn.Start
+ " || Assgn maxDate: " + tskAssgn.Finish

What is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Hi,
I am new project accounting Module .
what is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Project Assignment, Resource Assignment refers to the resource management part and Task assignment is basically the work assignment to the resource.
An assignment/requirement is created in PJR for create demand for the resource requirement of the project and when the resource is aligned he can be assigned to the task in the work plan.
Refers to the top down approach in this case.
Additionally a resource can be assigned to the work plan and a assignment can be created to get the resource allocated to the project.
Refers to the bottom up approach in this case

Roles tasks and resources assignment

Hi there.
I'm working in CProjet and I need to complete role definition; I can define staf (STAFFING TAB) and assign task (TASK TAB).
In TASK TAB I can create also association between role, task and resource; now, I seem that STAFFING TAB considers TASK TAB assignment, but instead no automatic workload distribution happen.
It looks like no resources link exist between TAB...
Any suggestion about?
Thanks
Luciano

Hi,
In Staffing tab there is required capacity and available capacity.
Required capacity is given to role and that can be distributed in general tab if distribution activated to that role type.
Available capacity will be associated with the resource and that is given during staffing.
You can not distribute required capacity in staffing tab as it is taken from Role.
Hope this will help you

How to use "Exporting Roles as Multitrack QT Movie"?

I have to export a project with multiple subtitles tracks (English/Dutch/Portuguese/etc.)
After exporting I need to make a DVD, so that the viewer can choose which subtitles he wants to watch.
I've searched all over the Internet and found out that I have to export them using "Multitrack QT Movie", but after exporting I just get a normal movie with ALL the subtitles together, one on top of the other.
Any suggestions?
I'm using FCPX 10.0.7 on Mountain Lion.

I don't have either DVD Studio Pro or Encore so I make my DVDs with iDVD which as far as I know does not support multiple text tracks that you can pick from as a menu choice when you play the DVD. When I use multiple subtitles I create each language using a basic text title effect. I then assign each language as a title subrole. Then I share the project as roles so I have a video file, a music/sound file, and multiple title llanguage files. I use QT 7 pro to make these into one movie file. QT pro has an add movie capability which allows multiple video tracks in one movie. You simply open one file first. Then open each of your other files in turn, select all and copy. Then in the original file under edit menu select "add movie" and it will be pasted into the original. After you do this look in the properties window and you will have all your video tracks. you can then turn off the languages you don't want to export, adjust transparency to get the alpha channel for your selected language and bring it into iDVD. You do need to make sure the layers are such that the language layer is on top. Do this for however many languages you have. The downside of this approach is you duplicate the main video, but since iDVD doesn't have a means to select tracks via menu I know of no other way to do what you want without the advanced authoring programs like Ecore etc. The upside is you do only work from one movie file, which you then make selective exports to iDVD.

What roles to assign for managing comments?

Hi,
I am setting up a separate user role for managing comments, orders, and product inquiries. I am not sure what roles to assign in the user role area. There are areas for approving, deleting and editing comments, but I need them to be able to reply to comments, work on orders, etc. I don't need to give them full Admin access, but there are so many choices, I'm not sure which ones are needed for these tasks...
TIA,
Jeff

Thank you Annett.
It seems, that in SM4 SAP has provided list of authorization objects (in the Excel 'Delta_Information_Customers_EN.xls' and customers should gather a new composite roles of their own.
I consider SAP should have provided a template composite role in standard for Test and test coordinator users.
SAP knows very well the needs of a tester and test coordinator, and STWB_WORK is surely not the only authorziation object needed.
Here are some topics that I consider typical needs for a TESTER in project implementation (in parenthesis a proposal from SAP's Excel):
No authorization for project admin nor SOLAR01, nor SMSY
Display authorization for SOLAR02 (sap_solar02_dis)
Display authorization for SOLAR02 documentation (?derives from sap_solar02_dis?)
Not able to switch to other projects in SOLAR02 (?invidual rights to auth.object S_Project?)
Execute transactions from SOLAR02 (?derives from sap_solar02_dis?)
all rights to STWB_WORK (sap_stwb_work_all) and everything inside it: create message, execute test cases, enter test results
If there are any SDN members having already defined tester and test coordinator composite roles in SM4, I am interested to hear which roles you used.

An Unknown Error Has Occurred - Project Server 2010 - Tasks Page

Greetings!   Some of my resources are recieving the error "An Unknown Error has occurred" (in red) when trying to access their TASKS Page in Project Server 2010.
I've researched this error quite a bit and am finding suggestions and answers pretty much all over the board.    Before I have my server people start installing a slew of hot fixes - I want to know if anyone has an idea of the underlying cause
for this error.    Since this issue doesn't affect everyone (i.e. I can access my task page), is it possibly related to the actual schedule in which they have assignments?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
~Randy

i have found the solution for this issue, you need to do this:
in the logs you must search the "exception" and the logs give you a ID, this ID is about the task assignment in the specific resource , so this assignment is corrupt.
this ID, you need to merge in the SQL server in the project server database, you need to merge ID task with ID Project with ID Resource, so when you identify the ID project and ID resource you can
DELETE this assignment in the project from project profesional, because this task has a corrupt assignment, you must delete
ONLY FROM project professional.
This solutión solve this specific problem for this assignment that
