Global Templates Corrupted in Project 2010

Has anyone had an issue with project templates, associated with EPT's, causing Project Pro 2010 to crash whenever the drop-down selection on a column (field) is chosen?
I am running Project Server/Pro 2010 SP1 patched to Oct 2012.
I have 3 templates that are similar (small, medium, large). The medium and large when opened as templates were fine, so I simply saved them back and they are working fine. The small one was corrupted whenever the column drop-down was clicked.
I opened another version of the small template from my lab system (same content as production) and saved it to production and all is good. I am at a loss to figure what happened prior to this exercise. I saved a copy of the corrupted small template and
the corrupted projects for further examination. Any ideas? The fix for the projects with the corrupted template requires saving all the PWA and Project Site information, deleting the project and its associated site and starting over from scratch.
Those with actual hours will take even longer. What a mess.
Update 4/29/14 -
Regarding the corrupted template and project files that occurred recently, Microsoft has stated that this behavior is fixed after installing the April 2014 CU.
I will verify this when the April CU is applied to the test machine in our lab.
The cause of the crashing was related to a null setting in the filter-by and group-by settings. A null is not a setting that can be selected, so I am unclear as to how it got that way in the template.
There is no answer as to why the selections are null and it cannot be corrected.
This is a bug.

Dinesh,
I am painfully aware of the fix to the corruption. I have removed all the corrupted templates and replaced them with non-corrupted ones. I am now working to fix 32 projects that have the corrupted template. Some of these 32 have actual
hours posted making the task even more time consuming.
No I did not initiate a ticket with Microsoft. My experience after working through several bug tickets with them it is that it takes a lot of effort to provide them what they need (problem description, creating compressed copies of all 4 databases,
uploading, fielding calls from the support techs, then dealilng with the folks they hand off to, then getting acknowledgement that it is a bug and will be addressed by the development team and placed in a private fix or CU in an upcoming cycle). In the
meantime, I have projects to fix! I realize that we are not up-to-date on CU's and SP's. I am working on that now.
Thanks.

Global template and rollouts vs. Solution Directory

Hello,
I would like to know what is the best way to maintain the global template and the related rollouts documentation.
I know the functionality of Solution Directory, ie. it should be the primary place to maintain a solution in production, changes should be done using maintenance project, checking out scenarios etc. However, my customer is running into a couple of challenges. The current situation is as follows:
- The global template phase I has been finished (containing financial template).
- The global template phase II development is starting (containing logistics template).
- The phase I template has been rolled out to five countries which all are in production.
- The phase I template will continue with new rollouts coming.
- All the country-specific rollouts are actually in one physical SAP system so there is only one system to be maintained.
I see it somehow impossible to try to maintain the template + rollout documentation in one single solution in Solution Directory. There is only one Documentation tab in the solution and if we put all the country-specific documentation there it is a mess. Furthermore, all the rollout projects are separate, it would be difficult to manager rollout projects with one maintenance project. Not to add the fact the compare and adjust functionality applies only to template projects not solution.
I have the feeling that we would need continue maintaining the global template and rollout projects in SolMan Implementantion projects (template + rollout projects, template versions, compare and adjustment etc.). Only if I want to start process monitoring I would use solution but otherwise it cannot be very much utilized at the moment.
Any comments? Have I missed something here now? I would appreciate any practical experiences about this.
Br,
Timo

Hi Timo -
The situation you are experiencing is similar to what I have seen. And that is...ensuring Solution Directory is the "Single source of the Truth". It is almost impossible when you have two parallel activities going on between 1) SAP implementation projects and 2) SAP maintainence/sustain activities in production.
Solution Manager seems to be a great tool for companies that are in a sustain mode, resolving issues when found in production. We recently decided to change our approach from SAP's recommended and best practice of using the Solution Directory connected to a Maintainence project and implementation projects being seperate rollout initiatives managed seperately. Instead, we have changed our "Solution Manager Landscape" to encompass all activites into a 1 template project. We now don't plan on going back to the SAP best practice of Solution Manager until we are completely done implementing SAP and we have identified what our true business processes are. For example: creating the Business Process Hierarchy.

Pricing Procedure
Determination of Pricing Procedure:
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
Configuration of Pricing Procedure:
Note: If existing pricing Procedure meets the requirement, in that case new pricing procedure is not required. But in case of India, Taxation is complecated with CIN also in consideration, ideally new pricing procedure will be required.
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
Scenario based configuration depends on the requirement.

Could not retrieve Enterprise Global Template - Load balancer issue

Hi,
We have 4 Project Server 2010 servers. The 4 web servers are load balanced by networking team with sticky session configured.
When we try to connect to the Project Server using MPP 2007 SP2, it fails saying 'Could not retrieve Enterprise Global template'. It works perfect when we point to a specific server by specifying the IP address for server name in the 'hosts'
file.
Earlier we observed some errors in the event viewer related to the SharePoint's internal load balancer for which restarted the 'Project Server Application' on each web server and it got fixed.
Now, the only entries that we see related to load balancer are as mentioned below as Information (not errors).

Could the issue be due to network load balancer?
Could the issue be due to Sticky session configuration on the load balancer.?
How can we get to the root cause of the issue?
Which logging category should we set to 'Verbose' that can give us some hint.
Update: We tried to capture the requests through fiddler and observed that when fiddler is running on the client computer then the connection works perfectly fine even through the load balancer. Probably fiddler is reformatting the SOAP
envelop of the web service requests the way it should before sending the request to the server.
If we do not run fiddler and run some other similar tool (like Charles) then it again gives the issue and the request stucks at /PWA/_vti_bin/psi/winproj.asmx
We ran Wireshark on the servers and found the following for that web service call:
[TCP Previous segment not captured] Continuation or non-HTTP traffic.
Please let me know if someone could provide any hint what can be done next.
Regards, Amit Gupta

There are several ways to configure your load balancer. I would suggest that you work with the network engineer, the load balancer vendor and your project administrator to resolve this issue.
Basically you need URL to be resolved correctly. Also, I don't believe PS2007 did a good job handling load balancing, so you may need to bring someone in good with IIS and see they can tweek IIS to manage the cache better.
As I go back and look at your analysis, I think you should probably look at upgrading to Project Server 2013. They made some improvement in load balancing and the management of distributive cache.
I assume you have 4 WFE because you have thousands of project users. Roughly how many you have? Over 1000, over 5000
Have you tried to see if using two load balancing work? How about just one front end. I often see companies scaling SharePoint and Project server to extremes.

Moving project 2003 Custom Views to project 2010

How do I get the custom views that were created in project 2003 to show up in project 2010

Hi,
You can perform this workaround to copy Project custom views via Organizer tool.
Open the Organizer in Project 2003>
Copy Content into the Global Template. More detailed steps:
For Project 2003, on the Tools menu, click
Organizer.
     For Project 2010, click the File tab, click
Into, and then      click Organizer—but see note below for some differences.
In the Organizer dialog box, click the
Views tab.
The list in the right box contains the custom views in the currently      open project.
     Note    to see Project elements from other projects,      you’ll need to open those projects first.
The list on the left contains elements in the Global template (also      knows as Global.MPT). Your job is to move the custom element from the      right side to the left side.
Select the custom view on the right side, and then click
Copy.      The custom view will be copied to the Global template and be displayed on      the left side.
Now, it get’s a little tricky at this point. If your “Corporate Cost      Gantt” view contains columns that you’ve added, then you’ll need to copy      over the associated table
as the next step. The associated table is the      one you specified when you created the custom view in the first place.      Typically, this would be the Entry table for chart views. So your next
step is to click the Tables tab, and then copy the Entry table to      the Global template.

Could not retrieve Entreprise global template

I just installed Project 2010 Pro & Server, both seems to be working ok by their own, but when i try to connect Pro to Server I keep getting the message "Could not retrieve Enterprise global template. There seems to be a problem with the database,
please contact your server administrator.", so it just work with no connection. I have tried it with two different PCs (desktop & laptop) and the result is the same.
My config:
Windows Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2008 R2
SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise (14.0.4763.1000)
Project Server 2010 (14.0.4763.1000)
Project Professional 2010 (14.0.4760.1000 32-bit)-(Windows 7)
Since the error comes from Project Professional I posted this here, even when it might be cosidered also a Server issue. Anyways, I really need to fix this so any help will be very welcome.
Thanks.

Good news!
Working around with your last question, I logged on to my laptop with two different users, the Administrator and a Portfolio Manager creating their correspondent Project Server accounts, and both worked fine! So I came back to my user and completely deleted
the definition of the Project Server account, created it again from 0 and it worked perfectly.
I had previously the server with the beta version of Project Server 2010, when I installed the final version (different server name) I just changed the URL on my local Project Server account, it seems that it doesn't work like that, either you create a new
account or delete and recreate the current if you want to use the same name, that worked for me.
Thanks for your advice, hopefully this might help someone else.

Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
Original Question
Already
posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a 'net
use' script.
This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
To replicate this:
The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?
But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
"Project cannot open the file.
-Check that the file name and path are correct.
-Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458/en-us|
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2eeea140-7e6c-4cb9-a89b-06d2102bd9f7/
I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

Case 1
This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
Case 2
This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
the file or folder name.
Case 3
This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
folders.
For example, if you have the following:
a shared folder on a network server
-and-
an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
Case 4
This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
According each, please try the following workaround:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
Case 1
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Save a copy of the
file with a different
file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
Case 3
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
Method 3:
Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
Case 4
Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
Case 5
Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
1.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.
On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
3.
Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
folder on your local drive and then click OK.
4.
Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
Hope that helps.

Project 2010 SP1 Installation Crashes

I'm trying to create a package that will handle both brand new installations for Project 2010 as well as upgrade installations for those running Project 2007, the latter of which represents a large population in our environment.
I basically followed the same process I used when creating packages for Office 2007, Office 2010, Project 2007 and Visio 2007, all of which work today:
run setup.exe /admin
create a new .msp
make my adjustments (very few)
save into Updates directory
customized PrjPro.WW\config.xml (after first creating a backup!)
run setup.exe
I'm testing the package on a machine that previously had Project 2007, but after running for a short time, setup crashes. I thought maybe the problem was with the config.xml so I undid the changes one at a time, then moved up to restoring the orignal
config.xml file but it continues to crash.
There's a setup log in %temp% that contains what may be the core issue

I'm beginning to wonder if there's an issue with the existing Project 2007 installation, or the way it was uninstalled [by the Project 2010 setup] - but maybe its something altogether different.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My point above is that Project 2007 was extremely buggy and unless files are saved using Project 2007 SP3 first you are likely to experience problems with the files when opening in project 2010. Project 2007 to 2010 with no service packs is problematic.
With SPs applied you should have far fewer problems.
Doesn't look like a exe with SP2 is available yet so you need to add the service pack separately, probably in the updates folder.
If all Project 2007 installs are already at SP3 then no need for this.

Cannot programmatically select a task in Team planner - Office MS Project 2010

Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 32 bits, MS Project 32 bits on a windows 7 64 bits environment.
I created a MS project 2010 addin in Visual Studio. I can do many things with this addin, add ribbon, create tasks,
change colors in gant view...
However I cannot selected a task in the team planner view !
I use SelectTPTask in the application instance as referenced (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms474284.aspx).
After this selection I want to change the color of the task by using SegmentFillColor method but nothing happens.
If I manually click on a task then SegmentFillColor works and the task color is changed.
Here is the code of the action:
private void buttonPriority_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e)
var app = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application;
var pj = app.ActiveProject;
//create Tasks
Task newTask = pj.Tasks.Add("First task");
newTask.Duration = "3";
newTask.ResourceNames = "Resource A";
newTask = pj.Tasks.Add("Second task");
newTask.Duration = "4";
newTask.ResourceNames = "Resource B";
//Change color of the assignments
foreach (Task t in app.ActiveProject.Tasks)
if ((t != null) && !(bool)t.Summary)
bool b1 = app.SelectTPTask(t.UniqueID);
bool b2 = app.SelectTaskAssns();
bool b3 = app.SegmentFillColor(0xFFFFFF);
Is it a bug or I do not use it properly,
Thanks,
Alex.

Working solution (MS Proj 2013) for similar task is:
Sub ChangeTaskColorBasedOnCondition()
    Application.ViewApply Name:="Team Planner"
    For Each task In ActiveProject.Tasks
        Application.SelectTPTask (task.UniqueID)
        Application.SelectTaskAssns
        If (InStr(task.Name, "t"))
Then
            SegmentFillColor Color:=192
        Else
            SegmentFillColor Color:=0
        End If
        Application.SelectTPTask
    Next
End Sub

Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.

Hi,
I am getting a pop-up message(Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.Make edits in checked-out enterprise global template to make them
available for all users of this project server) when trying to insert a new column in the Gannt Chart View.
Due to this what all are the columns that inserted in the project plan, will be lost when open the project in the next time.
I have opened the Enterprise Global Template and cross checked for Gaant Chart view it is showing the table as "Entry" only.
The requirement is what all columns are required for the project plan, manager will insert in the project first time. Next time on-wards it needs to be display the columns when opened the project from server by default.
We are unable to reproduce this issue in our Dev Envt.
Could anyone of you please help me.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I suggest to remove Gantt Chart view and Entry table from Eglobal. These are default views from client and it is highly recommended to not use them in Enterprise Global.
Whatever a user ist doing on a view or table which is included in Enterprise Global will be reset on next open - therefore you receive this message.
If you need some server wide defined views and tables, create them. But remove Gantt Chart and Entry.
Does that help?
Regards
Barbara

Can a RoboHelp project be used as a template for other projects?

I noticed there is the ability to "duplicate a layout". Does
that mean I can use my RoboHelp project with all its settings as a
template for other projects. I corrupted an existing project by
deleting a generated HTML file. I forced an update on one of the
chapters in a linked FM book and now for whatever reason in the
generated output, the entire book is being re-created within the
folder for the chapter in which I deleted the HTML output and
forced an output.
Surely I don't have to redefine all the settings again in the
FrameMaker Document Settings dialog, and in the WebHelp layout. All
enlightenment is much appreciated. Come on baby give it to me one
more time! Sorry couldn't resist. It is Friday after all.

Hi there Writerman_in_TO
You seem to have a multiple segmented question.
I noticed there is the ability to "duplicate a layout". Does
that mean I can use my RoboHelp project with all its settings as a
template for other projects.
In one way, yes you can. You are able to use Windows Explorer
to copy the project folder to a new location. Once you do that, you
can open RoboHelp and open the project. Then click File > Rename
Project and off you go.
Not sure what to tell you about the Frame > RoboHelp
mashup. Not familiar with Frame yet. Hopefully someone more savvy
there will pop in and help.
Cheers... Rick

Project 2010 Filter Selector (+/-) Not Displaying

Hello all.
I'm using Project 2010 and am having a problem with the "filter selector" - the "+" or "-" symbols which allow you to roll-up or expand sections.
I first noticed this with Summary Tasks in my project file not displaying the small boxed in "+" or "-" symbols. I've hunted around for a setting option that could affect this but haven't come up with one.
Now I've noticed the same thing when using the "Group by:" function and choosing "Critical." The tasks do group by Non-Critical and Critical - but there's no "+" or "-" symbols Critical: No or Critical:
Yes lines and thus I can not collapse them or expand them.
Complicating things is when I create a project schedule of my own in order to test things and those "+" or "-" symbols appear and function as expected. The project file in which they are lacking seems to lack them on other
computers than mine so it doesn't seem to be a particular hardware issue.
Is there some setting in Proj 2010 that I'm missing?
Is this an indication that the Project file itself is corrupted?
While a somewhat low level problem, this is reducing the functionality within that file and if the file itself is corrupted them that could lead to other problems.

Madoc,
There is a setting, (now hidden in Project 2010), that turns on and off the outline symbols and that setting is saved with the file. There are various ways to correct the issue but let me show you where to find the setting so the next time, if there is a
next time, you will be prepared.
1. Right click in the ribbon area to bring up the "customize the ribbon" item
2. On the right side of the Project Options window, hit "New Tab" and then "New
3. Under that new tab you will see a "New Group". Select it
4. On the left side chose "Commands not in the ribbon"
5. Find the Outline Symbols and select it
6. Hit "Add" to put that into your new group under your new tab
7. Hit "OK"
Now select your new tab on the ribbon and you should see the Outline Symbols option unchecked (for this particular file). Check it and close.
You might want to peruse the list of other commands not in the ribbon that you've been racking your brain to find and add those to your new tab. I did.
If the Outline Symbols option is already checked for this file then the file is probably corrupt. In that case save to XML and re-open in Project. Note, you will lose any custom formatting.
If this answers your question, please mark it as the answer.
Hope this helps.

Using a global template including BC Sets

How do you embed a BC set in a global template for roll-out?

eehenry wrote:
It is a problem with a secondary provider, "mag cloud" .
Right, so to advise you we'd need to know the particulars of MagCloud's spec for your project; format, trim size, bleed, etc.
It's doubtful that anything happened "when uploading for printing," so long as you were uploading a PDF, as opposed to the native InDesign file. Did the PDF look right to you before uploading?
