  • Using Webi to generate report from Microsoft Project?

    Does anyone know if there a way to create a Webi report from Microsoft Project?  Can put me in the right direction towards accomplishing this task?

    Hi,
    For this use Microsoft .Net with Integration of Business Intelligence(BI/BOBJ). Select web I reports with Crystal Reports generation and use in the .Net Project.
    All the Best

  • Has anyone Connected a Crystal Report directly to a Microsoft Project file (MPP)?

    Post Author: Brian Morris
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Iu2019m aware I can save Microsoft Project Files (MPP) to an Access Database, Excel document etc. and there are ways to connect to a Microsoft Project Server.
    I wanted to know if anyone has managed to connect directly to one though. Currently we use MPPs to report project status and other deliverables, and itu2019s been an annoyance to have to save the project file then export the data over into a new excel document when ever we have changes (since not all users have project or need all the data in the file).
    Preferably, a user should be able to save that project file and anyone that has the Crystal report should be able to run the report against the MPP file. In addition to this, it would be extremely helpful in getting a formalized and nicely formatted report when running reports against rational and MMP files, thus giving an alternative from SODA reports in Microsoft word, which doesnu2019t always work well.
    Thanks!

    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Ok, I answered my own question on the connection issue, but I'm having issues with the predefined fields that enter into the report. The Database Expert shows the correct table names, but when I select them and look at the fields, they are all showing fields that are part of the "Project" table. when I use "Add Command" and use SQL to do a "Select * From TableName" ,where TableName is the name of the respective table, I get the data I'm looking for. Has anyone else run into this error? Is the error on Crystal Reports side or the Data provider's OLE DB driver? Has anyone with a fully patched system encountered the same errors?
    Current SetupCrystal Version: 11.0.0.1282CR Professional; Product Type:FullOLE DB Driver: Microsoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provider
    I have pasted my findings below, hopefully other people won't have the same issues I did trying to find this information. if anyone else wants to test and see if they get the same issues I did it would be greatly appreciated.
    Connecting a Crystal Report XI to a Microsoft Project File (MPP)
    Prerequisites (as I know them)
    -          Have an installation of Crystal Reports on the machine (a given)
    -          Have Microsoft Project 2000/2003 installed OR  the Microsoft Project OLE DB provider which is installed with Microsoft Project (NOTE: Microsoft 2007 supposedly no longer supports OLE DB and requires an OLAP cube be made or a SOAP connection be used, which I donu2019t deal with personally)
    Creating the connection
    Start Crystal Reports
    Click u201CBlank Reportu201D on the start page
    in the u201CDatabase Expertu201D window, under u201CAvailable Data Sourcesu201D, Select u201C+u201D next to u201CCreate New Connectionu201D
    Select the u201C+u201D beside u201COLE DB(ADO)u201D
    If a u201COLE DB (ADO)u201D  window does not come up, double click u201CMake New Connectionu201D 
    In the u201Cprovider:u201D box Select the u201CMicrosoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provideru201D
    The name may be different depending on the version of project you install and the patch you have on the machine
    Select u201CNext >u201D
    Under u201CDatabase:u201D copy/paste in the path and project file name
    I donu2019t believe the other fields u201CData Source:u201D, u201CUser ID:u201D, or u201CPasswordu201D need to be filled out, and in fact, I got an error when entering in data into them
    Example: u201CC:\Projects\Project Name\Current Schedule.mppu201D
    Select u201CNext >u201D
    In the Advaned information window, verify the project Name is the path of the project.
    I have not found the use of u201CEnterprise Modeu201D (default: 0), u201CAlways Loadu201D (default: 0), u201COLE DB Servicesu201D(default: -5), or u201CEnterprise RUID Listu201D (default: blank), removing them or changing them did cause errors though.
    Click u201CFinishu201D
    Adding in Tables and extracting data
    You now have a connection to the project File you listed. There is an issue Iu2019ve found though that all the tables you see listed are filling their fields in from the u201CProjectu201D Table, rather then their respective tables (Example: u201CAssignmentsu201D is pointing at u201CProjectu201D rather then the obvious connection u201CAssignmentsu201D). You can, however, use the u201CAdd Commandu201D and select the table you want with just a little SQL code:
    Select *
    From Assignments
    After creating the command, highlight it and hit u201CF2u201D. You should be able to edit the name and change it from u201CCommandu201D to something more meaningful. At the current time Iu2019m unsure if the issue with the default tables all pointing toward the project table is an error on the provider side or Crystal Reports end, and if one of the new patches will fix it. I will update this document accordingly when I have more information and do more testing. I will note however, there is no way to change which table these preset fields point to.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from  Microsoft Project 2007

    Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
    OS: Win XP Pro SP3
    Error Message(s): None
    Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

    I may have a resolution now...
    I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

  • Can't Create PDF from Microsoft Projects 2013

    I am trying to PDF a Microsoft Projects 2013 files.  I've tried print PDF and save as PDF but both options give me a pop up window that says "Creating Adobe PDF" with a progress bar displayed with 3 blue bars filled.  I leave it that way for about an hour and nothing happens.  I've tried updating the Adobe Acrobat and Repairing it in the Programs and Features menu.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the prompt response.  I don't know how to print-to-file and open the file in Distiller.  The printing as PDF doesn't even work.  It gives me the "Creating PDF" pop up window to which there is no end to. (see photo above)  As for updating to version XI, my colleagues who are running Acrobat X Standard with MS Projects 2013 do not have a problem at all when printing.  I want to avoid upgrading if version X is still usable.  Any other thoughts?

  • Using Flex with Microsoft Project

    I am absolutely brand new to FLEX. What I saw on the Adobe
    site was a data chart that could be drilled down to expose
    additional layers of "contriburory detail" for the master graph.
    What I am wondering is if it is possible to do something
    similar using Micrsoft Project Data as the basis. MS Project will
    allow users to save the file as XML. So, all the data should be
    available in a form understandable to FLEX.
    Here's the tricky part (and I can add more detail if needed).
    Project will create a summary line (at some level of indentue) and
    show you a calculated %Complete such as 47%. So, level of indenture
    1 I have the major summary tasks of the project at various status
    of %Complete. I believe FLEX can make some type of bar or pie chart
    out of that for me. What I want to do is click on a "Level1"
    indenture and have it expose the Level2 indure that contributes to
    that 47%. Then drill on one of the Level2's to Level3 .... to Level
    "n".
    This needs to be accomplished in "stand alone" fashion so the
    ultimate user can launch a desktop application and tell the
    application the name of the Microsoft Project XML file. We will not
    be able to use Client/Server ... client side only with the file
    located either locally or at least on a network drive.
    Can this be done? Has anyone looked at a MS Project XML
    schema to see if there is sufficeint information available?
    OK, now the blunt truth. It ain't %Complete that I care
    about. What I care about is BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, %Complete, and a few
    other parameters. These are the "Earned Value Fields". If you do
    not know what they are, don't worry about it just now .... it is
    really all just time phased data.
    Can anyone give me some advice or an opinion? TIA.

  • Encoding from UTF-8 encoded String to Microsoft Project default encode

    Hi Expert ...
    I have a problem with encoding a String from UTF-8 String in order to write a MPX (Microsoft Project) file. I used UTF-8 on my Database encoding, and I want to write a MPX file using MPXJ library, but the result is (?) character. I think it's because I didn't encode yet to Shift JIS (a Microsoft Product default encoding). And after that I try to encode the String with Shift_JIS encoding, but the same result is appeared. I try to looking another way, but there is no result.
    I hope some expert would help me to solve this problem.
    Thank you,
    Alfian B.

    Totally wrong. A String doesn't have an encoding.
    Now if you had an array of bytes, which were encoded using one charset, and you wanted to convert that to an array of bytes encoded using a second charset, you would use code like this:byte[] bytes = // the bytes encoded in UTF-8, let's say
    String s = new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); // make that into a String
    byte[] newbytes = s.getBytes("windows-31j"); // encode the String into windows-31j

  • Microsoft Project Error Message when Saving

    "You cannot lock or delete the last unlocked column in a table" is the error message I get every time I save my Microsoft Project 2007 Schedule. I sent the schedule to someone else, he sent it back, and now I get this message every time I save
    the Schedule.
    How can I get rid of this message?

    KEverhartMWH --
    Was the user to whom you sent the project file using either Microsoft Project 2010 or 2013.  If so, that may have corrupted your project.  To find out, I would recommend you save the file as an XML file, then close the XML file.  Reopen the
    XML file and when prompted in the Import Wizard, create a new project from the XML file.  Then see if you can save this project, using a different name, of course.  Please let us know if this helps.
