Project 2007 (with server) - Visual reports custom templates export problem

Hi,
someone fimiliar with this situation?
While creating
and saving a new template in visual report using Project Professional 2007, some of the reports that was saved as template lose connection between Project cube and Excel.
Those reports include Enterprise global custom fields, and on the first few times I open them (on different computers) it works fine but later some of the report
templates won’t open, and error messages are received.
Those are the steps I did to reproduce the problem:
When I create the template I used “New template” and then I added the fields (some of the templates are “Task usage” based, and some “Task summary” based).
Then when I try to open it later…
Step 1 –Open the template
Step 2 – the export gets stuck –
Step 3 – if I check the excel that was opened I get error messages -
Step 4 – another error message (after clicking OK on the previous one)
When clicking OK or Cancel the excel is closed
Step 5 – when going back to check visual reports on project another error appears

Easily fixed. Just take the Excel.exe file and copy/paste from your Program
Files/Microsoft Office/Office14 folder to the Office12 folder.
As near as I can tell, Project is looking for the file in Office12.
I think you also need to restart Project after doing so.

Project 2007 with Office 365 online

Hi,
I am looking for the Project 2007 compatibility with Office 365 online with SP 2013.
Is this possible? If yes, what is the procedure to configure that.
I have not worked on Project Server, if anyone can help me or provide any reference links that will be very helpful.
Thanks
Ankit
Thanks Ankit

Ankit,
You are talking about multiple things in your question, so let me try and clarify the question.
1) Office 365 +SP 2013 is not Project Server. Project Server is a totally separate application built on SharePoint. And in Office 365, Project Server is offered as Project Online, which is an additional license you need to purchase.
2) With that settled, I will assume you are talking about Project Stand-alone with SharePoint. As far as I know, this "Sync" functionality was only available starting Project 2010, so I am guessing using Project 2007 will not work.
3) That pretty much leaves us with Manually uploading Project (.mpp) files into SharePoint, just like any other document, and if this is what you want, then it should work with no issues.
If none of the above answered your question, please post some more details, and we will try to help.

Report Manager - Template Conversion Problems Excel 2003/2007

Hello,
We are having an issue in which templates created using excel 2003 are showing incorrectly formatted outputs in excel 2007. We have performed testing by creating new templates in Excel 2007 and most formatting is correct as long as we only make minimal changes to the initial template. Once the template is changed to a further extent the formatting is correct but no actual output shows, just the token defaults. Patches have been applied for both the issue of incorrect formatting caused by Excel's smartcutandpaste and also the problem with the token defaults showing instead of actual Oracle data. We would prefer not to have to recreate the templates as this would be a lengthy process. To me it seems as something was modified that affected the existing templates (other than the Generic FSG Template, which works fine), but does not affect newly created templates. Other methods of viewing the data work fine (pdf and html).
Any ideas?

The BNE.log for the report that would not show the data (due to column deletion):

The same error appears on the report that works fine (one without deleting columns):

10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Parameter value is not a Boolean.
The client is testing now and believes the report output is what she needs and will not need to delete the columns afterall, but for my curiosty, any ideas?

Flex 3 builder project setting with server on another box

I have a livecyle DS (or BlazeDS) server which is different from my workstation where I am writing flex codes using flex builder 3. When creating a new flex 3 project, I need to specify Root folder/Root URL/Context root in "Configure J2EE SErver" screnn. It seems this screen is always assuming the server is runing on the same box as the workstation I am writing flex code. Is it the case? Or is possible to develop flex apps where the server is located on another box?

when any file in the project is saved, it builds and outputs
to the info below. when i run it, it points to the root url posted
below.
as far as the HOSTS file, it has the normal localhost
loopback. which is fine in this case.
the source code in the main.html is generated from the HTML
Wrapper section in the Flex Compiler settings under the project
settings.
i think this is a local IIS issue.
under the flex project settings i have:
Flex Server -> Root Folder:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\<directory>
Flex Server -> Root URL:
http://localhost/<app>
-> which point to root folder under IIS
Felx Build Path -> Output Folder ->
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\<directory>
if i run the app from within Flex(Project Run Button) or from
a local http link, it hangs; however, if i launch the main.html
file directly from the file system, it launches in the browser and
works fine.
the thing is, it use to work fine and when i added something
like a background gradient for the app it broke. i know that sounds
silly, but it is what it is. so now, i have to launch it from a
shortcut to the main.html file.
with all of that said, that points to IIS, yes?
thanks for your input...i appreciate it.
fd
UPDATE - if i reboot it works again. i'm pretty sure it's
something in IIS. stopping and restarting the web services doesn't
help either. only a reboot. weird.

OOP ALV report custom control performance problem

HI
how to write OOP ALV report without custom control.. Actually with custom control which taking long time... and time out happens for huge selection of data..
Regards
Roops.

timeout is not an alv problem. If you try to display a "huge" amount of data, any display technology will fail. Even sap programs fail, their wise solution is to ask user to restrict data to be displayed. Or reduce database selection time, or display amount. Or propose the user to download data as a spool, or output to a file on server.
Otherwise, read some advices about how to handle timeout in [Note 25528 - Parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/25528].
About your question, if you still want to try, look at [example code with alv class cl_salv_table for simple display|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f9/1ab54099de3726e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]

Multipage word report using template

Hello I am using the report generation toolkit and would like to use a template with the New Report.vi. The problem is that my report is multiple pages and I have no way of knowing how many pages until after the report has been made and so I cannot preset the number of pages in the template. So when the template is used it cuts the report down to as many pages as the template is long. Is there a way to have the full report inserted into the template having pages created as needed? Please let me know if you dont understand what I mean and I will make a second attempt for clarification.
Cheers!

How to make a custom template the default for Apple Mail (10.7.5)?

Hi,
I'm OK with making a new custom template in Apple Mail. It shows up fine once under "custom" in the stationary pane (and once I take off signature in a new email). But... that's a lot of trouble to go through everytime I want to send an email.
So the question is: can I make my custom template my default for all my emails, unless I want to manually change it? Seems like this should be possible but I can't figure it out and haven't run into any solutions (only on how to make a template).
Do I really have to select it each time?
Best,
Joel

As an FYI: I just solved the problem by going the "low road." I'll be a bit laborious in case someone else wants a solution at a later date (I know I Googled the topic and found nothing). I experimented by simply:
Opening a new email message
Selecting my custom template
Copying the custom signature (Select All)
Opening another new email message
Selecting Edit on the Signature pulldown menu
Hitting the plus symbol to create/add a new signature in the pane
Pasting into the new signature
Naming it
Selecting "Choose signature" at the bottom of the signatures pane
And violà!!
It now appears as a possible selection *and* as the default.
Better yet - it is now my default and will work as a reply to an email.
I think I got it all right in the list above.
OK, granted, this is a pretty simply signature - a list of my website, SoundCloud, twitter etc with those names in bold and a graphic of my color logo - but... it works! YMMV.
Give it to Apple to make it so simple that any fool could do it (that would be me), you wouldn't need a "specialized" app, and - of course - there wouldn't even be instructions on how to do it!
Best,
Joel

Excel busy when I try to modify a template of MS Project visual report

(Sometime) when I try to modify a xlst template for MS Project (2013) visual report MS Project say me that excel is busy.
But Excel is closed. I try to close and re-open bot excel and MSProject but say me always that cannot open visual report (based on my custom template) because excel is busy.
In my template I inserted also an external connection to other data (coming from another database).
The template is populate with "visualize report" ....
Also If I try to modify the template (using MS PRoject function) MS Project say me that MS Excel is busy...
I used that template sussefully... but when I make some update to template file (for example add a table o a simple text) then MS Project is not able to open excel file.... but I don't understand why. So I have to rollback modifies and take previous template
version.
[Note:] could be something related to which sheet (of template xlst file) has focus on when saved?
thank you.
regards
db
Daniele.b75

could depend by what I choose when close & save the template?
Excel ask me...
Sometimes I try to click on SI .... or NO ... but always MS Project says me that Excel is busy.
please.... help
thank you

Project Server 2013 : Report table not updated with Published tables

Hello Team,
We found the issue that Publish and Reporting table have difference in work attribute. is their any way that we can refresh the Reporting table in one go.
Thanks.

If this issue is specific to one or few projects, using Save for sharing would be much more easier.
If this issue is for all the projects then as NicoOosthuysen recommended RDB refresh would be the option. Having said that you have to take extra measure before you start RDb refresh , since it is very high system resource and time consuming activity
Steps for Save for sharing
1. Open MS Project Pro 2013.
2. Open the project plan from the server.
3. Now save it locally without making changes in the File Name, using File > Share > Save For Sharing. Provide local location. Do not close Project Professional
4. Now save back the project back to server using File > Save As (Project Name should be grayed out)
5. Save and then publish the project plan.

MS Project 2007 - Help with custom field calculation for grouped by dates view

Hello
I am trying to creat a view that counts number of students in courses (while # Students is a custom field that is filled manually and courses are tasks).
The view should be grouped by Quarters, Months, and weeks (Calculated custom Text fields)
The weeks groups are displayed by the start day of each week.
For example:
The view counts how many students are in courses in a specific week/month/quarter.
This is the group by definition:
Those are the fields calculations:
“WW_Start” field calculation:
(Year([Start]) & " W " & Format([Start],"WW") & " " & "   [" & Datevalue(ProjDateSub([Start],CStr(Weekday([Start])-1),"Standard")) & "]")
“MM” field calculation:
Year([Start]) & " M " & Format([Start],"MM")
Basically it works but it doesn't cover a situation where a course is more then a week.
Lets say that the duration of the task is 12 days, the task should appear on 3 different weeks groups.
But what i did puts the tasks only in the group that shows the first week of the task.
How can i change my calculations or my view so that in the second, and third week of the task it will also show the task and it's attributes.
For example:
- "UV5 ACM" task should also be in W 45 not just W 44.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?
Ofir Marco , MCTS P.Z. Projects

Hi
First, thanks for the comment "nice neat groups" :)
I think you understood correctly what is my issue.
Second, about your question: the class have the same number of students during the course period.
It will have 10 students even if the duration is 1 day or 10 days.
if you look at the basic gantt chart you will see a row like this:
Task name        Duration        Num_Students     Resource names (Instructors)
Course YYY       10d                10
Instructor X
it is an attribute on the task, not the assiment.
When i group by dates (Weeks, months, quarters) or by another field (can be course type for example) i the students are summed in the task summary level for all tasks.
Lets say i group by all the tasks (Classes) that are in the 1st quarter, and lets say for the example that there are 3:
Task 1 --> 5 students
Task 2 --> 10 students
Task 3 --> 7 students
Then, the group by summary should count:
Quarter 1 - 2014:   22 (students)
Task 1 --> 5
Task 2 --> 10
Task 3 --> 7
By the way, it doesn't matter if the version is project 2007,2010, 2013, the logic is the same.
Hope it helps and i'll be glad to have some ideas or evan get examples for solution in a project file by e-mail.

Baseline timephased data disappeared in MS Project 2013 with Project Server 2013!!!

Hi,
I am facing a very strange problem within a custom "task usage" view that I'
ve created. In the right pane I have three timephased fields (work, baseline
work and actual work). When I first add resources to tasks and save baseline
everything works great and the baseline work data are distributed normally in
the respective line next to the resource name and also in the summary tasks
lines. A few days after saving and publishing the project to the Project
Server 2013, I opened the project from the PrjProfessional and the timephased
baseline data had disappeared. However, the total values of baseline work
(shown in the respective column at the left pane) were all still there. In
other words, I cannot see the distribution of baseline work into the timephased
schedule. When I check the database the data is also gone (MSP_EpmAssignmentBaselineByDay table).
This has a huge impact for the customer!
If found a similar issue reported with Project 2007 --> http://www.44342.com/Microsoft-Project-f1227-t2482-p1.htm

Share Data Source between multiple report projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services

I have a reports solution in 2012 which contains multiple report projects one each for target deployment folder and we use TFS 2012 for report deployment.
We have a template project which has a bunch of template reports and all the datasources used in different reports.
When I develop a report, I cannot "Preview" in TFS but, for deploy this used to work fine util the reports solution was in TFS 2010 & Visual Studio 2008 R2. Since we moved to TFS 2012 & SSRS 2012 not being able to deploy till I create all
the necessary datasources for each project and now all the developers complaining that they cannot develop reports in TFS itself as they cannot preview (this problem was existing previously) and now not being able to deploy as it errors for each report "Could
not find specified rds file". I tried messing around with the .rptproj file DataSources tag that did not help either by modifying it like below.
<DataSources>
<ProjectItem>
<Name>DB.rds</Name>
<FullPath>Template\Data Source\DB.rds</FullPath>
</ProjectItem>
</DataSources>
Is there a way I could share a Data Source between multiple projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services?
Thanks in advance.............
Ione

Hi ione721,
According to your description, you want to create a shared data source which works for multiple projects. Right?
In Reporting Services, A shared data source is a set of data source connection properties that can be referenced by multiple reports, models, and data-driven subscriptions that run on a Reporting Services report server. It must be within one project.
We can't specify one data source working for multple projects. In this scenario, we suggest you put those reports into one project. Otherwise you can only create one data source for each project.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
