Grouping the same Resources Names and summarizing % Allocation from multiple files in one master file

Hello,
We are reviewing resource % allocation from multiple project files at once in a 'master' project file (via the Insert -> Project function). Each resource has the same name in each of the respective 'sub-files', and so we created a group in the master
to group by name.
When we apply the group to the resource usage view, the hours summarize correctly for 'Work', but when switching to % allocation to make things easier, the 'Summary' line doesn't sum the individual lines below it:

Does anyone have a solution for this nesting?
Thanks!

VSAT Ryan,
I don't have Project open at the moment but a couple of thoughts come to mind. First of all it sounds like you are creating a dynamic master without a resource pool. In that configuration, your resources will show separately for each subproject. If you instead
create a static master (i.e. uncheck the Link to Project option in the lower right corner of the Insert Project window when you build the master), identical resources in each subproject will automatically be combined into a single resource in the new master.
Then you won't need to use grouping to see the data you want. Another advantage of creating a static master is that it will not be prone to file corruption like a dynamic master. The disadvantage of a static master is that it is a snapshot in time of the subprojects
and there will be no dynamic interaction between the static master and the subproject files. You will need to build a new static master each time you want to update the combined data for all subprojects. This however is a pretty easy process and you can record
a macro while doing it the first time such that it be even easier thereafter.
Another approach is to create a resource pool file. That consolidates all resources into a single resource only file and should also eliminate the need to use grouping to get the data you want. And with a resource pool, you won't necessarily need to create
a master since the pool file will contain the resource data you want. Use of a resource pool is however also a linked structure like a dynamic master and is therefore also prone to file corruption.
Hope this helps

  • How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

    I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

  • Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

    I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished.  For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
    which direction I will go.  I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time.  DFS can stay installed for maybe
    future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
    Here's a few details of the environment....
    1.  DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present.  But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
    2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server.  Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
    and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble.  This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server.  The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
    futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
    3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends.  The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
    4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Sharon,
    I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
    Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
    to flip over to the new server.  DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
    the old server to 2003R2 first.  As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
    Thanks for the reg info on the Shares.  I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job.  I'll probably export that Key as a
    safety move whether I use it or not.
    Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
    1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
    2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
    3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
    How does that sound?

  • How can I bandle Mac-mini Ipad and Iphone all with the same usser name and password

    I alway's have problem with my ID AND PASSWORD  also I want to bandle my mac-mini Ipad and Iphone with the same password and usser name how do I do tyhis?

    Hola amigo
    If you wish to use the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices then you need to set them up that way from the start. If you did not use the same Apple ID for them all then you would need to erase the iOS devices by returning them to the factory settings and starting over as if they were new.
    However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to download or update your content bought with one Apple ID with a different Apple ID. So you would need to decide if your are abandoning extra Apple IDs that you may have created and the content that you acquired with that Apple ID.

    Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

  • "Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop" with same "user name" and "session Id" recorded in different RADIUS servers.

    Hi,
    I have questions about "Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop".
    1.If a NAS configured to have a primary and a backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the primary server goes down (Primary server won’t tell the NAS?). When sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the secondary. I understand the “Start-Stop” record with the same “user name” and “session-id” ideally should be recorded in the same server. If this situation happens what should both the NAS and RADIUS server do?
    2.A NAS configured to have a primary and backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the administrator decided to change the primary server (as there are problems with the previous primary). sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the new primary. This ends up the “Accounting-Start” and “Accounting-Stop” with the same “user name” and “session Id” in two RADIUS servers.
    To summarize, how to avoid the ”start-stop” pair ends up in different servers ? If it does, is it  an issue for RADIUS application ?
    Cheers,

    following is the code in front controller's doFilter method. is this not thread safe?
            HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
            HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
            HttpSession session = req.getSession();
            somepackage.User user;
            if(session.getAttribute("user") == null){
                user = new somepackage.User();
                session.setAttribute("user", user);
            }else{           
                user = (somepackage.User) session.getAttribute("user");
            }user object maintains all information about a user. if it is in session scope, everything should work fine.
    another observation is after some time of usage, both people in different systems are getting same session.getId()
    in my logout page i am using
    session.invalidate();
    thanks,

    What do you mean by "user name"? They can, probably will, use the same iTunes Apple ID, if that's what you're asking.

  • Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

    Hi,
    I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
    This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
    In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
    In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
    How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
    NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
    Thanks.

    By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
    Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
    I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

  • Dynamic DNS updates and issues with re-imaged / replaced machines with the same computer name

    Our AD team gets asked frequently to delete bad DNS entries because a computer was replaced or VDI was re-created, and when it was joined to the domain it had the same computer name but different SID, so the DNS entry for that computer can no longer be updated
    to a new IP address because the new computer doesn't have rights to update that object in DNS.
    I recently saw a resolution to this was to set the security for DNS to allow updates from "Domain Computers" as described in the KB below.
    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005210
    Has anyone done this?  Any negative implications from this?
    Thanks

    Granting all domain computers write access to all records in the dns zone does solve the problem. On the negative side, DNS security is reduced significantly. For example, any user with admin rights locally on his/her computer will be able to sabotage
    services in your domain by deleting or changing host records of domain controllers, servers or other client computers. 
    A more secure solution in this case will be configuring DHCP servers to update DNS on behalf of the client and granting DHCP servers appropriate access to DNS zone. Take a look at
    Configuring Secure Dynamic Update for more info.

    I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have the same problem.. EXACTLY. .  When phoning Apple Support they had trouble understanding my problem and couldnt find any type of solution. No one seems to take responsibility for GameCenter issues. The assistant escalated the problem but no one could find an answer. .
    The only idea was to set up a new apple id, hence a new GameCenter account. . But that would loose all the itunes data. Anyone got ideas ?
