Easily modifying task structure in a project

Hello,
My users have come up with a question. I do not have a wonderful answer for them, so I thought I would post here to see if there are any ideas.
My users are used to using Microsoft Project client in which you can easily indent and outdent tasks or cut/copy/paste. Is there an easy way in cProjects to outdent/indent tasks in the project hierarchy?
Also, once tasks are released we can't move them from one section to the project to another. Would there be a way to do this also?
Thank you!
Wendy

The cut/copy/paste feature does exist in cProject. The icons in the top of the project structure pane provide this functionality.
Indenting in the way MS Projects implements it is not supported in cProjects. Also moving or deleting tasks after releasing them is not supported in cProjects.

Debaranjan Hazarika.

Resource Breakdown structure role in Project Cost Allocation.

Dear Experts,
What is the role of resource breakdown structure while running project cost allocations? Is it possible that targets in the allocation process gets the cost allocated to the resources in RBS which is same for source as well as target projects?

Hi
The resource breakdown structure (RBS) is used in the system to summarize the amounts from the lowest level leaf to the grouping / parent levels.
You can use a summarized amount of certain node on the RBS, per your source project, as the source amount that will be allocated.
On the target projects the allocation transactions are created as expenditure items. Those expenditure items will be on target project and task, using the expenditure type and expenditure organization you have setup for the allocation rule.

How to prevent developers from modifying the structure of DB

We are developing an application and using Oracle 8i as DB server. I don't want the developers to modify the structure of tables. They should only be able to insert/update/delete rows of the tables.
How can I make it?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

A good rule is that no one logs in as the schema owner. You could give the schema owner a strong password, and not share it with the developers. Then create a role. Every time you make a table in this schema, be sure you're logged in as the schema owner, then grant select,insert,update,delete on the table to the role. Better yet, make two roles. Grant select on all tables to one role, which will be a readonly role. Grant select,insert,update,delete to the other role.
Then, you can grant one of the roles to your developers -- the readonly role or the read/write role, as you choose. As you add tables, grant access to them to the roles and the users with the role automatically get DML access -- but not DDL access.
Be sure to check which system privileges and roles your users already have. If you've made them all DBAs, all bets are off! 8)

Error occurs when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 workflow for a tasks list that updates a list item column if the Date Complete <= Today's date & Percentage Complete = 100%
I used 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow & the values are updated in the list for the current item.
However, when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013, then I get a error "We can't write task - taskname to the SharePoint site. This is either because tasks list is in read only mode or because this task has a column
that requires unique value."
If I remove the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow, then the error does not occur. However, the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow is required.
Please provide solution to this issue ASAP. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jack,
A shot in the dark here. I'm not convinced the error is from the workflow. What is the definition of the list item column in SharePoint? Have you set the column to requiring a unique vale? Look at the column definition.

Best practices for folder structure in SOA Project

Actually, In my project, I have more than 10 BPEL process and several DBAdapters and some HumanTasks. For each BPEL process, JDeveloper creates .bpel, .componentType, wsdl files. For DBAdapters JDeveloper creates lot of files, and same for HumanTasks as well.
By default Jdeveloper puts all these files in root directory of the Project. It looks messy having 100's of files in root directory.
How can I organize all these files?
What are the best practices for folder structure in SOA Project ?
Thanks

Yes Yatan. I did noticed that Polling service WSDL disabled in EM . But I want to try this approach beacause I want to move all database related stuff to one composite. I have another composite with 3 BPEL Processes. One BPEL queries external webservice and save the response in DB. One BPEL just fires the first Process(Query) and respond to caller with an unique id. I have Another BPEL which keeps polling on database for 5 sec(I'm using PICK Activity), if there is any new record in database it will retrun to caller. If no new records in database, returns empty to the caller after 5 sec.
If I put all these in one composite, having lot of files in root directory, the composite really looks very messy.
As you said, I want to have 2 composites. First Compoiste will have 3 BPEL processes, and 2nd Composite will have DB Polling and DB Save. I will have another project for MDS to store XSDs.
So because I can't have Polling service as exposed service, I have to keep Polling service in the same Composite where the BPEL is. Now again it goes back to Big and messy project.
Is there any way I can separate all DB related including polling in a separate Composite ?
Thanks

Excel busy when I try to modify a template of MS Project visual report

(Sometime) when I try to modify a xlst template for MS Project (2013) visual report MS Project say me that excel is busy.
But Excel is closed. I try to close and re-open bot excel and MSProject but say me always that cannot open visual report (based on my custom template) because excel is busy.
In my template I inserted also an external connection to other data (coming from another database).
The template is populate with "visualize report" ....
Also If I try to modify the template (using MS PRoject function) MS Project say me that MS Excel is busy...
I used that template sussefully... but when I make some update to template file (for example add a table o a simple text) then MS Project is not able to open excel file.... but I don't understand why. So I have to rollback modifies and take previous template
version.
[Note:] could be something related to which sheet (of template xlst file) has focus on when saved?
thank you.
regards
db
Daniele.b75

could depend by what I choose when close & save the template?
Excel ask me...
Sometimes I try to click on SI .... or NO ... but always MS Project says me that Excel is busy.
please.... help
thank you

How to configure evaluations at level task only for released projects?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to configure evaluations at level task only for released projects?
What we need is that the evaluation will be executed only when project has released status. Is that possible?
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

Hi CAMILO,
After the notes 1422722 & 1465106 is a service method available, which allow the customer to dis-able the evaluation.
CL_EVE_EXTRACT_FACTORY SET_ACTIVE
You can put a codes in some BADI method, which is called during save. Within the Badi-Implementation, call the SET_ACTIVE method, so that the evaluation not be tiggered (until the project get released.)
KInd regards,

Making Sharpoint task list an Enterprise Project message Project is currently being updated and can't make change

I added a SharePoint task list to our PWA site. I then removed it and then added back. When I go to make the SharePoint task list an Enterprise project now I get a message dialog box that states "The project is currently being updated and we can't
make the change right now. Try again in a few minutes" I have been trying every hour or so and keep getting the message. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi Brett
Have you deleted the Task list and also the workspaces associated to it?
Are you creating with a new name or the same name?
Try to take the verbose..

Import ldif error with warning 5022 can't modify task entry

Hi Guys,
This is a new installation of ODSEE 11.1.1.7.0 (zip distribution) on a CentOS 5 server. When I put it on there I have to grab a few library by hand to get the commands going (glibc.i686, libstdc++.so.6, libz.so.1)
I created a instance and it started fine, but when I try to import the following ldif:
dn: c=AU
objectClass: top
objectClass: country
c: AU
aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "OpenIDM user access"; allow (add,write) userdn="ldap:///cn=openidm user,ou=technical users,c=AU";)
dn: ou=customers,c=AU
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: customers
dn: ou=technical users,c=AU
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: technical users
dn: cn=openidm user,ou=technical users,c=AU
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: top
cn: openidm user
sn: user
userPassword: [password]
I got error:
- WARNING<5022> - Tasks - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Can't modify task entry 'cn=import1379317679873,cn=import,cn=tasks,cn=config'
- Import aborted: could not open LDIF file "example.ldif".
I am not sure this is a installation issue or a config issue.

Hi,
the error message seems to be related to the fact that the Directory Server instance is not able to 'open/access' the specified LDIF file.
Which exactly is the command you used to initialize the Directory Server instance?
Did you specified the full path of the LDIF file?
Has the LDIF file the right permissions to be read/accessed by the user with which the Directory Server runs?

Modify Task Billing Category Project Server 2010

Dears , I am filling a new timesheets, it already contains tasks from projects. can I change the billling category for these tasks?
the billing category is disabled for them.
any ideas?
Twitter : @MShoubaki | http://jo.linkedin.com/in/mshoubaki

Mohammad,
I just came across your question. The billing category is an attribute of a timesheet line, which by default are standard. You can have multiple timesheet lines per assignment. In order to enter time in a non-standard billing category,
you will need to manually add the line to the timesheet, and at that time, specify the billing category to use. The following article has additional details.

I hope this helps.
