Enterprise Resource Pool
I have a project manager who does not seem to have access to the enterprise resource pool. His permissions are correct (and match all the other project managers), however no enterprise resources are available for him to add to a project. The list is empty
in Project Professional, it's also unavailable in the Project web app.
Any ideas?
If user is part of project manager group then Check for Project manager group whether have Build Team On New Project permission checked or not. Also Check View Resource Center and View Resource Plan permission is checked or not, By default PM group
will have permission.
Build Team on New project is required for building team.
If you are not using PM group and user is not a part of group then give all the three permission to the user mainly Build Team On New Project permission .
If everything seems fine then check the RBS and department for the project manager if you are using RBS and department in PWA.
Also check if any filter has applied.

Project Server 2010 - Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization limitations
Greetings again.
I have a quick question about the limitations of Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization. Specifically, what has your experience
been with extremely large numbers of users (10k plus). Is anyone aware of a
practical limit of users in your AD group you would recommend when using the
Schedule Synchronization feature on a nightly or weekly basis?
There is a caveat to this question however. The client has decided (perhaps for some misinformed reasons) to allow access for every user, to every
project site, within their PWA environment. They’ve selected the View Project Site option within the
Categories for the Team Members PWA Group for which 90% of their intended users reside. So when we ran a couple test syncs in DEV with a smaller AD group of about 8,000 users, the sync understandably
lasted upwards of 18 hours. Obviously unacceptable for a PROD environment on a nightly basis and not necessarily ideal for a weekly sync either.
Experience in addition to documents like these, “Best
practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010” tell me that we are way over the practical limit of a scheduled resource pool synchronization...IF
the client really desires that all users access all their sites. But before I submit my recommendations, I wanted to check with the community just in case others may have found a way to synchronize large numbers of users (10k plus) on a nightly or weekly
basis, within a reasonable time frame AND allowed all users to access all sites within PWA.
What do you think?
As always, thanks for your help.
Chris Addis - MCTSHello Hrishi.
My delayed response has been due to a large amount of testing we have been performing on this particular topic. Here is an update, please feel free to provide feedback.
We went back to testing and spent more time reviewing the documents:
Best practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010 and
SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits. Our team interpreted those documents as saying, 1,000 security
scopes per site is a recommended limit. It does not say it’s a hard limit, just a recommended limit. “When the recommended unique security scope boundaries are exceeded, performance issue can occur.”
So we decided to perform some tests (31 in total) to try and get a gage of what we are seeing.
We needed to establish a baseline first. So we performed a series of 23 Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations with various settings in a clean, Out of the Box, environment in order to see some consistent numbers. Here is it’s summary:
Our AD group of 8,000 users took about 32 minutes, on average, every time to sync. The difference between the first sync and last sync differed only by 1-3 minutes.
Adding 40 project sites increased the average sync time from 32 to 120 minutes.
Adding 100 users to each of those 40 project sites, did not increase the sync times.
One setting (identified at this time) reduced the synchronization time. It was the
Project Site Permissions check box found within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Site Provisioning Settings area. By deselecting this check box we reduced or synchronization time back to the 32 minute
average.
The View Project Site check box within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Manage Groups > Team Members group had no apparent effect on the sync times besides what we had gleaned from the Microsoft documentation.
Naturally, this left us with a problem. As I’m sure you know, by deselecting the check box (Project Site Permissions), our project sites are now (figuratively speaking) orphans with no connection to the parent site. This generates
a new set of issues. For example:
Newly created project sites cannot be accessed by the owner and team members. They will require someone like the farm admin to come in behind them and add the intended users to the project site along with their required permissions.
All current and futures sites will no longer have users added via the standard method of building a team and publishing the project, but will have to be added manually.
You can use the Synchronize option found within Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Sites page, but that kinda defeats the purpose. It would require constant updating on a per site basis to keep up with
PM changes. Not very sensible, but it does work.
With this baseline information, we moved our tests into our DEV environment which somewhat mimics our PROD environment. This environment has 352 project sites and we performed 8 tests. This is where we had some large sync time numbers.
Here is the DEV test summary:
With the Project Site Permissions check box cleared, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 30 minutes to sync. This was in line with our baseline times. With the exception of one test sync that took 99 minutes to complete.
That anomaly is acquiescent with what I’ve seen over the years. Sometimes syncs do some unusual things.
With the Project Site Permissions check box selected, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 690 minutes (11.5 hours) to sync. Unacceptable of course.
So here’s what we’ve learned when dealing with extremely large numbers of active directory users in your Resource Pool sync:
We did not see a decrease in subsequent sync times after the initial Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronization as some might expect.
Our attempt to decrease sync time via the option of removing the View Project Sites was not successful. (Unless we interpreted Microsoft's document incorrectly.)
However, our interpretation of the recommended software boundaries and limits of SharePoint Server 2010 as it pertains to security scopes per site at 1,000, appears to be correct.
Using the option of clearing the Project Site Permissions does produce a reduction in AD sync time, but at a cost segregating your project sites and thus the creation of new processes of maintaining them.
I’ll remind others that these results are particular to our environments, there may still be exceptions yet to discover. Others may see numbers contrary to ours.
The biggest surprise to some members on our team (myself excluded) was that we did not see a reduced sync time after any of our initial syncs. Some are under the impression that after your initial sync, you should see reduced sync times. I haven’t
found that to be the absolute case in all situations, just in some situations. The reason for this still eludes me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I’ll let this sit a bit longer, but if no one disagrees with the results, I think we have our answer:
The number of project sites directly affects your Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations if you are using the
Project Site Permissions option. If you plan on synchronizing over 1,000 users
and you have a large number of project sites, proceed with the knowledge that you may have performance issues and long sync times.
As always, I’d love to hear from you or others just in case I’m missing something.

Project Server 2013 AD Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization Exception
Hello,
I am looking for assistance from the project server community.
When I click “Save and Synchronize” on the Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization page nothing happens and the status does not change.
This is a new instance of PWA and I am preforming this task using the farm admin account. The farm admin account can read AD.

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.

Hi,
i'm not able to change the default Assignment Owner (massive) in the Checked-out Enterprise resource pool in Project Professional 2013.
I've also unlocked the "Windows account edit" in the Register Editor.
Do you know if is this possible or i have to change it for each resource one by one???
Thanks
Best regards
Daniele
DanieleHello Daniele,
I think what you are seeing is by design behavior. Per below article you can set the Default Assignment owner in Project Web Access and it appears in various places in Project client.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/project-help/default-assignment-owner-resource-field-HA010167482.aspx
If you want to set the same default assignment owner for multiple resources then you can try bulk edit option in resource center.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization
I'm running in to an issue with Project Server 2013 that has me pulling my hair out. A co-worker and I switched it over from SharePoint Permissions Mode to Project Permissions Mode and are trying to set up AD Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization.
I go in to Server Settings --> Operational Policies --> AD Resource Pool Synch and try to add 1 to 5 groups. The groups resolve (actually autocomplete) and appear correctly. If iclick Save or Save & Synchronize Now, nothing happens.
No page refresh, no redirect, etc. If I go in to Security Settings --> Manage Groups, I can edit one of the built-in PWA groups and add the AD group, click save, and get redirected back to Server Settings. But then going back in to the newly
edited group, the AD Group field is empty; and on the Manage Groups page the "Active Directory Group" and "Last Sync" columns are empty.
I would chalk this up to an AD issue, but I have no problem using the same account to add an individual user as an Enterprise Resource and tie it to an AD account, so I can only assume that this account has all of the permissions required for AD and it can
query and resolve fine. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on, or possibly some step I might have missed when setting this up?
Thanks in advance.I know it looks like a different issue, but that is the only thing logged in ULS regarding Project Server at the time of trying to do the sync. If it helps, I can provide another log and see if something else comes up, but I did watch the ULS Viewer
at the time and the same errors kept popping up when trying to do the sync.
Also, the "other environment" is just a second instance of PWA on the same SharePoint farm, so it's not a separate environment completely. Using the same AD groups, so there shouldn't be any discrepancies. It's not the best test I know,
but I'm still in the middle of setting up an AD test environment and trying it from there, just to see if it's an issue with my SharePoint installation or PWA installation.

Project have resource which is not in enterprise resource pool
I am getting notification on project that the following assignments have been updated.
The assignments you own below have changed.
Assigned to:
Task Name:
Start: Remaining Work: Completion: etc
I am not a project manager of the project neither owner. I m administrator.Project Help --
It sounds like you are the Default Assignment Owner for the resource in question. First of all, navigate to the Tasks page in PWA and locate the assignments in question. Look in the Resource Name column for the resource who is actually assigned
to the tasks.
Next, I would recommend that you navigate to the Resource Center page, select the checkbox for only this resource, and then click the Edit Resource button to check out this resource for editing using the PWA interface. In the Assignment Attributes
section of the page, locate the Default Assignment Owner field. My guess is that you will see your name there, or perhaps no name at all. Click the Browse button and select the name of this resource in the Pick Resource dialog, and then click the
Save button to save these changes.
Finally, the PM of this project will need to open the project or projects containing the tasks that you are seeing. He/she will need to apply the Resource Usage view and then temporarily insert the Assignment Owner column to the right of the Resource
Name column. He/she will need to set the Assignment Owner to the name of the resource for all tasks assigned to that particular resource, then save and publish the project.
Please let us know if this helps.

Project Online Enterprise Resource Pool Limit
Does anyone know if there's a limit to the size of an ERP in Project Online? We have 30K+ users that need to be added to the ERP...
Thanks,
RolandHi Roland,
The boundaries are more a question of projects than users. Here is the
boundaries adviced for Project Online, for example 2000 projects and 150 custom fieds. Note that few weeks ago
Project Online has been scaled up.
Hope this helps,

RolandIt will be driven from a timer job that we can't see. Probably on the default time which from memory is between 12:00 am and 03:00 am PST. Paul

Resource Center - Need to change a Local Resource to an Enterprise Resource
The Resource Record for a resource was accidently deleted. This resource was still assigned to active project tasks at the time of the delete. A new Resource Record was created but it has the resource as a Local Resource. How can I move
this resource back to the Enterprise Resource Pool?
As a Local Resource the Assignment Owner field on his assigned tasks are not populating, so he cannot see any tasks on his timesheets. Also, the resource cannot be assigned to any new project tasks because he cannot be added to the Project Enterprise
Pool.
Attempted to remove the Resource Record that was created using Delete Enterprise Objects -> Resources and Users but since the resource is Local and not Enterprise his record is not showing to select it for delete.
Would the Admin Restore->Enterprise Resource Pool and Calendars functionality put his original record back in place? I understand only one version of this backup is kept but that should be the version we currently have. What data might be
lost using this functionality? Any chance other users would be adversely impacted?
We are using Project Pro 2010Hi Dennykat,
As mentionned in your previous post, restoring the resource pool should work, since it is restoring resources with their metadata and with the exact same UID. Thus the deleted and restored enterprise resource should have everything back (assignments, timesheets...).
Since I never tested such as process, I strongly advice to test it in the dev environment on a simple test case.
I remember that if also adviced you to recreate the enterprise resource and type in the resource sheet on one of the resource's project the exact enterprise resource name (exact same syntax), so Project should ask you when saving if you want to replace the
local resource by the enterprise one. Can you confirm that it didn't work?
Hope this helps.

Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync
Hello everyone,
has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
group(s)?
Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
Proceedings:
Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
Having read
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
The first article states:
Note:
The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
Kind regards,
AdrianHi Adrian,
you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
Regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
(but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
(Magic happens!)
User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
Kind regards,
Adrian -
Filter Enterprise Resources Dialog Box
Hello,
Today, after create new Enterprise Resource (Actually we have 2004 Enterprise Resource) when I try to add Resource in Project Professional 2010 using Build Team from Enterprise... show me a Dialog Box named "Filter Enterprise Resource" for to filter
the resource. My question is if exist a way for this dialog box not show me and show me directly the window Build Team for "Project"
Thanks for your answersChristian --
Microsoft Project Professional 2010 displays the Filter Enterprise Resource dialog automatically when you have 1,000 or more resources in your Enterprise Resource Pool. There is no way to force the system NOT to show it. I would recommend that
you explain to your PMs why they are seeing the dialog, and then recommend that they simply click the OK button to proceed unless they actually want to filter. After a while, they will get used to seeing this dialog. Hope this helps.

Sync extra AD attributes to Enterprise Resources
Working with Project Server 2013...
I am looking for a way to bring in AD attributes like employeeID and physicalDeliveryOfficeName and have them added and updated to user resources when running the "AD Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization". I cannot find a way to add any
extra attributes for the sync job to connect to the resource. Can this be done?Hi Nate,
You should not write directly to project DB. To create/update Resource Custom fields in Project Server 2013, you can use .NET based Client side object model (CSOM)
Your starting point to read about CSOM based Project Server API for custom fields will be
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.projectserver.client.projectcontext.customfields_di_pj14mref(v=office.15).aspx
Hammad Arif EPM Advice Blog
Hello Hammad,
have you updated enterpriseresource customfields with CSOM yet ?
Regarding informations from the Project Customization and Programming forum and after checking it on a dev system, i come to the conclusion that it is not possible with CSOM for resource level customfields (...at least not yet).
Of course you can go with the PSI resource service (web/wcf), but only if you develop for on premise installations not for project online.
So, question is how do we get customer resource data, from AD or 3rd party system, into ProjectOnline, without entering it manually :-)

Converting Local resource to corresponding Enterprise resource using Macro
Hi Folks,
Using Macro, we could replace a local resource with an enterprise resource. But what we want to achieve is replacing local res with
corresponding Enterprise resource.
Can anyone help here? Thanks.
Best Regards,
AnujaUnfortunately it is not just a property wich is required to change the local resource into an enterprise resource. Project will overwrite the local resource's metadata with the enterprise resource metadata (calendar, rate, custom fields...). It could be
quite complicated to override this process and require a complex coding solution.
Why not asking the users to first create the project team from the enterprise resource pool, so they'll use from the beginning enterprise resources and will not have the dialog box while saving the project?
Hope this helps,

Restore Enterprise Resource Record
An active Resource was incorrectly deleted from Resource Center. The record has now been added back but the Resource cannot see any of his projects or tasks on his timesheet. I believe this is because he was made a Local Resource when
he was deleted. How can this Resource be added back to the Enterprise Resource Pool? When he is restored to the Enterprise Resource Pool will his project/tasks assignments be back or does he need to be assigned to them
again?Hi Dennykat,
It has to be tested but here is my thought:
When deactivating or deleting the enterprise resource, it will be converted in the project plans into a local resource (keeping actual, work...). If you then recreate the resource with the exact same syntax and open the project plans, when publishing, Project
will detect that the local resource has the same name than an enterprise resource and propose you to replace it. Clicking "YES", it will thus recreate assignments for the enterprise resource, meaning tasks and timesheets.
This could be tedious since it requires to open and publish every project the resource was assigned to.
Once more, I haven't tested it.
Hope this helps.

Questions regarding risk register, resource pool, reports and KPI
I am going on a requirement gathering activity today about a new MS Project Server project. I have knowledge of SharePoint but my knowledge of Project Server is very limited. Following will be my topic of discussion with client. Can you please tell me what
kind of questions can I ask about them? I want to gather as much requirement as possible from client.
Some of the question I can think of are:
1. What fields will be there in each register?
2. What kind of permission do you want on each register? For e.g. will each register will be publicly viewable to all users or not?
3. How many KPIs and Dashboards do you need?
Topics
• Project Register
• Issue Register
• Risk Register
• Decision Register
• Invoice Register
• Change Request Register
• Deliverable Register
• Resource Pool
• Reports and KPIsAs You know Project Server sits on SharePoint. If you know which version of Project server your client want.
Then you can ask some question(I am giving you list of few question) like:
1. Approx No of users
group and security related questions like which kind of permission they want for Project manager, team member, resource manager etc.
2 Approx no of Project per year
3. Avg no of task per project
4. Project level Custom field
5. Task level Custom Field
6. Resource Level Custom field
7. Project, resource or task level of custom view
8. Any demand Management workflow
9. back up and restore strategy.
10. any Issue or risk associated with project and mitigation plans
11. drivers or strategy for Portfolio management
12. If any change need to be done in EPM environment how you guys can handle it.
13. for Delivery you can split your project in phases in which first phase will contain installation and basic configuration then report development, then Custom development, then Training and support
14. which kind of report they want (SSRS, Excel baed, Performance point, dashboard, Power pivot)
15. for reports what would be the KPI
16. Tracking method, Timsheet usage, status Reports
17. whether they will use default Project site or customized project site
18. Enterprise Project template for Business unit.
19. Department specific reports.
20 .for infra you can ask (Redundancy, server performance high availability )
etc.
Please group all these as per our need.
