Extending the Project Server OlapTimesheet Excel Report

Hi,
I have Project Server; navigating to "Server Settings" then "OLAP Database Management" shows me my default Cube. I have selected "Configuration" and added a custom field Dimension and successfully re-processed the OLAP database.
Within the Project BI Center I have a number of OOTB Excel files, each configured to use the default PS cubes. When opening"OlapTimesheet" I expected to see the new Dimension (added above) within my Pivot table - however this is not the case. Also,
when opening the modified Cube with SQL Data Tools I cannot see the new dimension.
How do I access the Dimension added from the PS interface in the relevant OOTB Excel file?
Thanks

Indeed creating an SSRS report will give you all the flexibitlity you need that might now be possible through the OLAP cubes limitations.
The project list is one of the dimension available in the timesheet cube (and in all cubes) but anyway this cube will not allow you adding project level custom fields.
Hope this helps,

Query for the list of publich holidays from the Project Server 2010 for reporting

I would like to get the list of public holidays that is configured in the calendar from the reporting database. I am not sure if this information is available in the database.
Please can you provide with the sql query . thanks
Simi

I just put together this query based on what Elli J did. My problem was to come up with a way to define a calendar-based "grace period" extension of the baseline finish date for a project. The grace period had to be based on a scale factor (here 1.1) applied
to the project's official baseline duration. I then had to project forward, using the standard calendar, to the relevant grace period finish date on a per-project basis.
Anyway, here is what I came up with. Note that I eliminated the SUM operations as unnecessary, and I also had to account for the fact that the official calendar days queryable using resource by day base capacity can "run out" before it should, so that it
has to be extended by tacking on regular weekdays after that.
SELECT
    P.ProjectUID,
    P.ProjectName,
    ProjectBaseline0StartDate = PSTB0.TaskBaselineStartDate,
    ProjectBaseline0FinishDate = PSTB0.TaskBaselineFinishDate,
    ProjectBaseline0DurationInDays = ROUND(PSTB0.TaskBaselineDuration / 8, 0),
    ProjectBaseline0GracePeriodDurationInDays = ROUND(ROUND(PSTB0.TaskBaselineDuration / 8, 0) * (GracePeriodParameters.MultiplierExcludingBase), 0),
    ProjectBaseline0GracePeriodFinishDate =

                -- Query all calendar days in standard calendar, using resource base capacity as proxy

Project Server 2010 Excel Reports

For the last few weeks I have tried to create an Excel timesheet report. However, the data that is being pulled will not go past May. Timesheets have been submitted and approved for this project. The project is saved, published and checked in. The resources
on the project continue to submit time against that the tasks, however the timesheet report does not reflect any reported time after May.

Hi,
I guess you are reporting against the Timesheet OLAP cube? If yes, check if the OLAP DB has been correctly generated.

Access permission to the Project server workflow tasks in project server 2013.

Hi All,
I am creating an OOB Project server workflow, where it contains few phases and each phases have some stages, there are few approval levels of the workflow.
Scenario - 1st stage - when project is submitted, a task is assigned to resource, when the resource click on the task link provided in mail, it redirects to the project server workflow task list.
1) When users view the task list, for all user the delete Item and approve button is enabled even we have given permission as edit,view permission in sharepoint group for that user.
2) Task list should be viewable by specific user but in my case even after giving the permission it can be apporved by any one who is not authorised also.
3) then i tried below things
1. deleted the user in pwa
2. deleted the user in sharepoint site.
even after doing the above, the user able to do all activity in the stie content page, have access to the sharepoint portal. how this is possible?
When checked with not existing user permission there are few defalut permission set for that user after AD sync. because of this he as access, even if he is not in pwa or in sharepoint site. how to retrict this?
Can anyone faced the same issue?
How to fix this permission issue?
Thanks in advance.
Sunitha

Hello Treb Gatte,
I ma creating Data Connection from SSRS Report, and then creating Data Set for "Project
Server Workflow Tasks".
And then when I pull data from the database, it is returning empty. For any other sharepoint list this
is working absolutely fine. I am facing issue only wrt "Project Server Workflow Tasks" list.
Thanks,

SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Paul Mendoza.

Hi Paul
Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
- run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
- run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together.

How to make the entire project in the project server 2013 reschedule؟

How to make the entire project in the project server 2013 reschedule ?
Because item %compelet related to reschedule
In this photo it is known there are no items update project

Hi,
In PWA, you do not have the feature to update the project plan in one click, meaning marking as completed the work before the status date or reschedule after the status date the remaining work. Either you have to use Project Pro, or edit individually the
assignments with the actual work (if not comming from timesheets) and remaining work.

Project Server 2013 - OOB Report do not work - Overview report...

Hi.
I have followed all of the step to configure reporting as mentioned in text book " implementing and administering project server 2013'. However after configuring the secure store, excel services, analysis service and sql 2012 I am unable to see the
OOB reports appear with information.
I have built the OLAP cube in projects service application successfully, however when I try to run the report no information appears.
What can I do to resolve?
Thanks

I assume that you have configured excel services,secure store and built OLAP cube correctly and you are also having data in your Project server.
You can open cube report and excel report, then select row column or value according the need it will display data.
If you are using report viewer and author group make sure account from which you are trying to open report will have sufficient access or you can check with service account.
Also check when you open report, you select enable data which appears in the upper ribbon of the reports.
If you still facing any issue please let us know,what exactly is the issue.

How to get the project name in a Reporting Services Report in a Project Site?

Hi,
I developed a report using Reporting Services where I need to choose a project to see the report. I want to include it in a Project Site template using a SSRS Web part. As the report will be in a project web site, I would like the report appears automatically
showing the project of the site without the need of choose of the project.
Can it be done without developing a complex code?
PS: Project Server 2013 and SQL Reporting Services 2012.
Thank you.
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Unfortunately there are a number of ways to navigate to a project site. (From Project Center is another) - Covering them all is not an option.
Like I said before there are two options, using a server-side web part - or using client-side code like the following: (just put this in a content editor on the page of your report and it will ensure there is a ProjUid on the query string)

Project Server 2010 sample reports

I modified the data connections and queries in one of the sample reports in Business intelligence to include fields from two database tables : content and reporting databases. I am not getting any result after refresh and the original reports
persists. Customized reports from only reporting database works fine after modification. The query works fine at the sql server level for the 2 database reports. Any suggestions!!!!

Thanks again for your reply. I find that when I open this data connection file from data connection library in Excel client I get the Excel security warning (Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern ... Data connections have been
blocked....). On enabling it the report does created in Excel without the pivot table. The data connection library is a trusted location in SharePoint. However, when we modify an existing sample report by changing the data connection credentials
the report is not generated on refreshing the data. This issue was not before as all the reports were created with pivot fields without issue in Excel Client. Looks like some Excel issue. Anu suggestions!!!

When I create a task in TFS, the task is submited to approval in PS. The problem is with the TFS fields on PS:

These fields are blank on PS, but the other fields as:
Work
Start and Finish Dates
Resource Names
are comming with correct values from TFS.
On Task Details (PS Approval Central) I can see the values from TFS (eg. below), but after approval, these values are missing in project line.

Project Server 2013 SSRS reports by logged in user group

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We have developed SSRS report. We need to display the projects based on the logged in user security group(e.g Project Manager, Administrator etc.) I tried with the below query got from a forums. But it is not working. Is
there is any way to get the security group of the logged in user using SQL query.
SELECT MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS.WSEC_GRP_NAME, MSP_WEB_RESOURCES.RES_NAME
FROM MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS INNER JOIN
MSP_WEB_RESOURCES ON MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS.WRES_GUID = MSP_WEB_RESOURCES.WRES_GUID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS ON
MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS.WSEC_GRP_GUID = MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS.WSEC_GRP_GUID
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
The query above gives you a complete list of user groups and users. It does not filter by resource name/group.
You can get the logged in user using the "USer Filter" webpart, on which the SSRS report is being displayed (assuming you are displaying it on a SharePoint page). You will need to pass this as a parameter into your SSRS report.

Project Server 2013 - SSRS reports don't display icons

We have an SSRS report that works fine in Visual Studio. It works fine in the PWA reporting document library for test. However, when we put it into production, we are getting an issue where the SSRS icons/images and the report icons for the parameter drop
down do not display. The image inserted is of the top header of the report where everything is a dot and should be the "refresh" and left arrow/right arrow icons from the web page and the parameters and "collapse" icons that display
the red x.
Collin

Hi Collin,
This is more of a SharePoint / SSRS issue rather than Project Server. It could be a permission issue. Or even an access issue - may be you have an alternate access mapping etc.
It might be worth posting this query on one of the forums below:
