Project 2013 APP-V Plugin

Hi,
I have a Project 2013 APP-V package created and published successfully. Now I have a requirement from user to add a plugin for Project 2013.
I don't want to make this plugin to be available to all users. Any solutions?
I thought of creating a connection group for the individual project 2013 which is already published to this add in but I think I am confusing app-v here and it installs and uninstalls simultaneously.
Is there any possibility to create a connection group with the same package which is published individually?
Regards,
Chetan.T.V

What version of App-V do you use? If 5.0 SP3, then take advantage of a new feature - having optional packages in a connection group. Create a connection group that contains your existing Project 2013 package and add the add-on package (if you haven't created
a package yet, do that) as an optional package. Publish Project 2013 and the connection group to everyone that should get it and publish the add-on package only to the users who need it. That should work.

App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

Good morning.
I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty. I've read the document at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
My question is this: If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio. We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
Visio.
Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
Thanks very much.

As a part of MDOP, you'll also have access to UE-V which will provide a mechanism of moving user preferences across the same applications from difference packages.
It will require planning, configuration and deployment, but will ensure you don't face the same issue in the future.

Error when create a project in newly Enabled features for Project Web App site collection in Project Server 2013

I Enable the Project Web App site collection features in Project Server 2013 based on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200305.aspx
when i try to create a project i get error "GeneralUnhandledException"
Yasser

Also, after you provisioned PWA, are you able to get to the server settings? Did you do any configurations with PWA or using the defaults?
Are you trying to add the project using the FarmAdmin account or did you add yourself as a resource with project manager role?

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:

When I check the jobs, the one who is associated with the cube creation is on "Succeeded" state but the OLAP database is never created. There is no evidence I think on the Sharepoint log.

Seems like an error occurred during site collection provisioning with the project server features. The provisioning process was interrupted from a system error and doesn't recovered after system restart.
I just created and provisioned a new site collection and everything is working now.

I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc.

pls. help.
The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

Hi,
According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758656(v=office.15).aspx
In addition, as this issue is related to project server, I suggest you create a new thread on project server, more experts will assist you:

Earned Value with Project Web App 2013?

Hi folks,
Earned Value in Project Client is quite fine, the choice of calculate against actual or status date is a nice feature. But using Project Web App I lack the option of setting the status date - is EVA in Project Web App 2013 really restricted to the actual
date? Or is the status date set automatically by approved task updates?
Thanks
Olaf

Hi Olaf,
Unfortunately the status date cannot be set from PWA, and there is no automatic update behind. The intent is that the PM updates the status date and the tasks in MS Project Pro and the team members and executives can consult EVA from PWA.
Hope this helps,

How many enterprise projects we can create in a single project web app site in project server 2013 enterprise?

I have MS SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and MS Project Server enterprise installed in the same server,
I have created project web app site
can anyone tell me that how many enterprise projects I can create in a single Project web app site
what is the recommended number of enterprise project per project web app

As I remember each project site is a sub site in a project Web app site collection. That means you can have a maximum of 250,000 project sites before you run out of space in the site collection. That's the boundary for sub sites in a single
site collection for SharePoint 2013. Project server doesn't have a specific limit.

Office 2013 app-v packages

In this article, http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2013/12/02/announcing-mdop-2013-r2/   I see mention of an Office version called "Office 2013 ProPlus
App-V Package".    Is this a download? I don't see it available as one when I login to my VLSC site.
We plan to install Office 2013 pro plus VLA LOCALLY (on C:) in our vdisk for virtual machines, but will want to stream Visio,Project,Access 2013 to our users' VMs, using App-V.    (We used to use Citrix XenApp to stream them)
In the Citrix world, "streaming" is the opposite of Publishing or Hosting (running the app ON the server). Streaming means it copies over the files to the user's C: drive on their VM when they launch the appl.
Please advise.

Hi,
As far as I know, Microsoft Office 2013 App-V packages are created by using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). The created packages may have Subscription Licensing or Volume Licensing.
You need to download Office applications through the ODT first, then convert it into an Office 2013 App-V package with ODT tool.
For more details, please refer to this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us
More reference:
Supported scenarios for deploying Microsoft Office as an App-V package:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Access to Project Web App

I have installed Project Server 2013. The issue is only a single user given access to PWA through project web app service application has access to the site. Even my account, that is the farm admin account has a full access right to web application that
hosts PWA is not able to log in to the project site while normal sharepoint sites i have access.
Is it by design or i am doing something wrong?
sachin

You need to add the users through project server permission by granting them access to the Project Server which will enable them to log on, this can be done dependent on security mode you have
Check this on how to add users

Unable to Open Project Site Access Denied Issue Project 2013

This issue is happening to select projects and select project managers, they can view certain project sites but receive the error on other projects. After some extensive testing
it looks like if the PM is the owner of the project plan they are not getting added to any of the synced groups for the project site. I can change the project owner to any another PM and it processes correctly and adds them to the PM synced group on
the Project site. As soon as I make the original PM the Project plan owner again the previous PM gets removed from the PM synced group and added to the Team member synced group, the way its supposed to work. However the PM with the problem never
gets added to any group. I have to manually add them to the non-synced Owner group on the project site so they don't get removed from the synced PM group the next time the sync runs at midnight.
As I stated it is happening on select project plans and select PMs. I have tried replublishing the project plan via Project professional and the web and the results are the same.
If I create a new project plan and assign one of the PMs with the issue to the plan everything works correctly. We noticed the issue a few weeks ago; most of the plans with the issue are several months to a year old so they were working correctly until
recently. They had also made PM owner changes prior to the issue on most of those plans and everything worked correctly.
If anyone is experiencing this issue and has a fix please let me know. I am trying not to open an MS support ticket if possible.
Frank Miranda Florida Hospital MIS

I believe I've found the fix for this issue. After opening a ticket with MS support and not getting anywhere with this issue I decided to do an in-depth review of all the Project and SharePoint 2013 CU's starting with December 2013 to September 2014.
To my amazement buried inside the July 2014 CU was a hotfix for this issue described almost word for word. (I will list all the relevant KB's at the end) I contacted my support engineer inquiring about this hotfix and he stated it wasn't relevant because
the "Synchronize Project Web App permissions to Project Site" was not failing or even generating any warnings in our Prod or Test environments. I stated that is not always an indicator as ULS doesn't always catch all relevant errors.
I informed him that I also found a second hotfix pertaining to the same issue released August 2014, apparently the first hotfix in July didn't totally resolve the issue and a second hotfix was released. He was adamant that this would not resolve
our issue and he requested or production databases because he was unable to replicate the issue in his test environment. The reason, you may wonder, is because he was at a higher patch level that our farm.... Obviously! His farm had the most current
CU which included the hotfixes from July and August. Apparently he didn't see the flaw in his logic.
I decided to install the September CU on our test farm. Low and behold that fixed the problem, even though MS support stated the hotfix was not relevant to our issue. I learned a long time ago to take MS support comments as suggestions instead
of gospel truth, this isn't the first time they have confidently given me erroneous information.
We are currently doing further testing to verify that this CU didn't break something else. Unfortunately these rollups are not GA and Microsoft is very clear that you should only install them if the hotfixes pertain directly to your issue.
Finding the hotfixes was a chore as Microsoft loves to create multiple KB's for the same thing and then nest (bury) them so you have to dig through four or five KB's to find the relevant fix. I'll save you the trouble and list them below.
Watch the
September CU Webcast Brian Smith and team go into depth explaining why this issue has been happening and how they fixed it.

Office 2013 APP-V Tips and Tricks

Hi there,
I got Office 2013 working with APP-V 5.0 Sp2 and rolling it out globally.
Out of the box nothing goes wrong, but i'm testing a lot and whenever I unpublish and do not delete the old programdata directory my computers go nuts.
Does anyone have any tips and tricks for troubleshooting the Office 2013 APP-V Package?
For Example I unpublished the Office 2013 APP-V package because I needed to update it with a connection group and add an excel plugin. After I updated the excel plugin and connection group, the connection group was configured succesfully. Whenever I try
to open Office 2013 on a already used account it won't start without an error message.
When I log in as as different user everything goes fine.
However everything i'm trying to fix this for a particular user on the computer fails.
Manually removing the packages gives an error. Something with a rollback error. Really strange.
Does anyone have tips and tricks on rolling out App-v and publishing/unpublishing the application and modifying application connection groups.
This is driving me bananas because we have a dynamic changing environment. Out of the box it works fine but don't try to change anything because the computer goes nuts.

So I found out this value: <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
So if I perform the remove-appvclientpackage command I guess it sticks on this because something in the script goes wrong but how do I found
out what goes wrong?

Satellite Pro C50-A - Microsoft Office 2013 apps crash when opened

I recently purchased a Satellite Pro C50-A PSCG7A-01X01V. I installed Windows 8.1 and then installed Office 2013. Unfortunately when I start one of the Office 2013 apps it immediately crashes with an error message eg: "Microsoft Word has stopped working". I have tried starting the applications in safe mode (eg excel /safe) however the same error occurs. Is anyone able to assist with this problem?

I have managed to resolve the issue by using Microsoft's facility to 'Repair Office Programs'. Refer to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/repair-or-remove-office-2010-HA010357402.aspx

Can Project Web App track output produced rather than time spent?

Hi -- I understand how team members can track the amount of time that they've spent on different tasks using Project Web App. However, what I really need to keep track of is how much they've produced, rather than how much time that they've spent on
it.
For example, I would like each team member to be able to give me a weekly report that says:
# of sparkly blue widgets completed: 10
# of pink matte widgets completed: 15
# of beige widget accessories: 50
I don't care how long it took them to make any of the widgets or widget-related items. I just want to know how many each team member made in a week. Right now we do this in Excel, but I would love to figure out a way to make some sort of form in PWA
where they could just enter their numbers.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Hi,

Editing the Schedule PDP, at the Page Details Web Part, inserted wrong Project Web App URL. Cannot access Project Schedule Pages.

I need a help. The environment, SharePoint and Project Server 2013 and SQL Server 2012, running on Windows Server 2008. Editing Details Web Part in a Schedule PDP Page, saved invalid Project Web App URL. After that, can display the Project Information and Project
Details Pages from the projects accessed, and can display the Project site, too. But, when I access the Project Schedule Page, receive an error page, because of the invalid URL. The message is obvious: "There
is no Web named xxxxxxx". I´ve tried to find out how to correct this, but no success, because cannot open the Project Schedule page anymore.
I would like to know if there is some way to fix it without re-installing the system. Thanks for all. If somebody need more information, have log information and page display available.

Paul,
When I click Schedule after PWA Settings > Project Details Page, there comes the error.
I can download the Schedule Page. But I don't see where to change, because the wrong URL doesn't apper at the page.
I'm sending below the page that I can download. The schedule.aspx.
