Migrate Project Server configurations

Hi,
I would like to export the configuration elements of Ms Project Server 2010 such as EPT, Custom Fields and Lookup from one environment(DEV) to another. I have used Playbook tool for migraition. However, Playbook doesn't work with https site.
Are there utilities, add-ons and approaches to migrate Ms Project Server elements across environments? I would appreciate any help in this regard.

Hello,
For Project Server 2010, Playbooks is the only free tool, others such as Fluent Pro are paid for. The other options you have if Playbooks is failing on your HTTPS site are:
Make PWA access via HTTP using Alternate Access Mapping
Write your own backup and restore tool
Migrate the whole Project Server data and config using the rollover approach.
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/projectserver-2010-environment-rollover-steps-powershell-ps2010-msproject-sp2010/ - probably only suitable if you are going from Production to DEV etc.

Steps to migrate Project Server 2007 from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008?

We need to migrate Project server 2007 from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008.
1. Is it as simple as doing backup and restore of databases and pointing Project Server to the new DB server? Or there are some specific steps that should be followed?
2. Article at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207290(office.12).aspx is about moving databases from one DB server to another (same versions). At one place, it mentions to
backup all databases but at another place it mentions that
You should only back up the Draft and Published databases from the source database server.
What should be done when moving from 2005 to 2008?
Regards,
Amit
Gupta

High Level step you can get this form Tech net or MSDN too
Shut down the SharePoint servers (App / Web)
backup all of the SharePoint and Project
Server databases from the SQL 2005 server
copy these over to the new SQL 2008 server and restore all of
the databases with the same names
script out all of the logins used by SharePoint/PS from the SQL 2005 server and create these on the SQL 2008 server
script out the Delete expired sessions SQL job from the SQL 2005 server and create this on the SQL 2008 server - or create them manually on the SQL 2008 server
repoint the SQL server DNS Alias from the SQL 2005 server to the SQL 2008 server, if SharePoint and Project Server was installed using the actual SQL server name and no alias, you can create a DNS alias for the old SQL 2005 server name that points to the SQL
2008 server. This is so that the SharePoint servers can still connect to the same SQL server name
Start up the SharePoint servers

How to migrate Project Server 2003 to Project Online?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to migrate Project Server 2003 to Project Online directly? I heard we normally have to take 3 hops for this;
1. Project Server 2003 - Project Server 2007 migration.
2. Project Server 2007 - Project Server 2010 migration.
3. Finally, Project Server 2010 - Project Online migration.
Is there a migration tool we can use to simply jump from Project Server 2003 to Project Online?
Thank You,
Arnel

NO, directly you can not migrate. You have to follow the sequence
1. Project Server 2003 to project server 2007
2. Project Server 2007 to project server 2010
3. Project Server 2010 to project server 2013 online.
Unfortunately we dont have nay tool which will help us to do this .
Microsoft has a virtual machine (2007) that you can use to jump to 2007. Basically the databases of 2003 must be converted to 2007. Once this is done (database at 2007) you can use this database as start point to be converted to 2010.
Microsoft has virtual machine for 2010 too if you want you can use it rather than creating your own environment.
Don't use 2007 backward compatibility mode in 2010, we experienced some issues with it.

2 Problems after migration Project Server 2007 to 2010

Hi Everyone!!
I have 2 issues after migrate MS Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010, in fact i had a lot issues, but i can solve almost all, so after solve all issues, just is pendings 2 issues very rare:
Backgrounds:
Migrated from: Windows Server 2008R2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 - Proejct Server 2007 with WSS 3.0 - All updates are up to date (CU is up to date) and all platform is ok
To: Windows Server 2008R2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 - Project Server 2010 SP2 - SharePoint Server 2010 SP2 - All updates are up to date (CU is up to date) and all platform is ok
3 Servers in the Farm, ----> 1WFE-1WAPP-1DB
Issues:
In the Project Center, some migrate Project don't show the icon with image about project documents, risk and issues although that project effectively have documents , risk and issues
In "Server Settings" , in section "Operational Policies" in "Project Sites" almost all projects don't show the URL with Project Site
For the issues 1 and 2, i tried some things:
Re publish all projects (approx 700 projects) with a script via PowerShell available in technet
Run the Wizard Again
Rebuild Solution
Restart the all Servers in the Farm
Restart Services ----> IIS - Project EventService - ProjectQueue - SharePoint Timer
and i can't solve it yet!!!
Please Any Ideas?

Have you restored content DB successfully?
for point 2 have you performed:
have you synchronized project site under server setting --> operational policies --> Bulk Update Project
Sites
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/10/08/projectserver-2010-bulk-update-project-site-issue-ps2010-msproject-sp2010-sharepoint/
after doing this publish all the project which are having issue it may solve your 1st issue.
You can check if below condition is applies to you (PWA 2007)
You may need to use the WSS site re-linker tool –
now built in to Server Settings in PWA as “Bulk Update Project Sites”. If you have changed URL die to a different port then re-linking should get your sites in order. In upgrade scenarios the “Previous Site Path” Web application might show as a GUID
in the drop down – however it still works and will re-link the sites.

Move Project Server to a new Server Farm

I would like to migrate Project server environment along with Project and Resource Data from one server farm to another farm. The environment has customized with custom Enterprise Templates, fields and lookups. Servers in the earlier farm are in a different
AD (Active Directory) environment. So, the new server farm would be in a new Active Directory.
I would like get the key steps and procedure to move Project Server across the two environments. Would the Database attach and detach process work? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Abhijit,
I personally did not have to do this, but it seems to me that there needs to be a trust set up between both AD Environments. Also, the service accounts will need to have appropriate access on the restored databases.
Please refer this link for more information:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_27154301.html
Alternatively, you could use a third party tool like FluentBooks to migrate the data. Still think that the AD users need to be migrated first.

Approvals on Project Server 2013 - An unknown error has occurred

Migrated Project server 2010 to Project server 2013. All the quick launch pages were working after I completed the migration. Started the process of publishing projects and statusing/timesheets to update project.
Now I see "An Unknown Error has occurred".   Tried all my solutions for Project Server 2010 without success.
Event log looks clean.
Has anybody seen and resolved this issue?

Bulk Project Site option isn't working in project server 2010 migrated from PS 2007.

Hi,
I am doing a test migration from epm 2007 to epm 2013.
So first, i need to migrate the project server 2007 to project server 2010. i have 2 separate environments for EPM 2007 and EPM 2010).
there is no problem in migration process and i successfully migrate entire PWA 2007 to 2010, except Workspaces (Project sites).
Bulk project site option is not helping. I have tried 4-5 times with different PWA 2007 databases (PWA1, PWA2...) but this option did not work. and errors in queue are WSSWebDoesNotExist(16405) and GeneralQueueJobFailed(26000).
Then next time while migrating all over again i kept the same port and same PWA name then bulk project site option worked.
Question is, Do i need to keep the same PWA name and same port for the new upgraded PWA??, one more issue regarding this is that if don't keep the same PWA name and i open the project site and click on the "Project web app" back link, it
redirects me to old PWA site which doesn't exist and give me page not found error (Obviously).
Below, you can see the both scenarios.
my previous PWA 2007 site, say - http://epm2007:2222/PWA
When - migrated PWA 2010 site, say - http://epm2010:3000/NewPWA (Bulk project site update just doesn't work)
When - migrated PWA 2010 site, say - http://epm2010:2222/PWA (Bulk project site update worked)
Whats the solution of this problem. is there any utility or query to link all project sites correctly?
Will i face the same problem while migrating PS 2010 to PS 2013??
Thank you.
sandeep

Hi,
I would say it is easier to keep the same PWA name between 2007 and 2010 (no need to have the same port).
If you want to move to a new PWA URL maybe you can use stsadm backup/restore as detailed in this article?

How to configure Https in Project server 2010.

HI,
Can i any one help me,
How to configure Https in Project server 2010.
My server farm is 1.Test1(App & Wfe) 2. Test2(App & Wfe)
Both are load balanced wit NLB as abc.hyd.in
DO i need to Install certificate in two servers Test1 & Test2 or one server is enough ?
Can any one please provide me a link to configure Https for project server 2010 for Two Farms Servers.
Thank You, Kumar KSV

There is no special configuration for Project Server to have the IIS enabled, it follows the typical sharepoint SSL enablement, we might need some mor edetails on how your NLB is done is it hardware based, software based ? it all depends how you want
to architecht the system, you can enable the Https either on NLB or WFE, again depending upon how you want to enable it, you will need to install the certificates on both WFE or on NLB
Follow the blog below to configure the SSL:

All,

I did notice that when opening Project Professional 2013 and unselecting

As for (The following projects are missing the workspace webs) error, still getting them.
Thanks all for the Quick Reply's.

Falied "Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App" in Project Server 2013

Hi
I'm trying to use the PS2013's capability for generate SSAS Cubes; but after I execute
the steps described on “Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj943761.asp)” the only thing
achieved is that the state being "Processing…" and the log:
