Project Management view scrolling - pixellation visible

When in PM layout and using the JKL keys to scroll
through thumbnails (set to any size) i get
pixellation of the thumbnails. This goes away when
scrolling is stopped. What was curious was no CPU was
touching 5% effort.
Is this a reflection of the video card or Aperture
coding ? Do 7800/4500 users see this ?
I think that would be the same for pretty much everyone - what happens there is that Aperture stores thumbnails in various sizes. They have the really small ones you see at first (pixelated), then some intermediate sized ones I think the largest size the thumbnails get to (full quality) and finally a very large thumbnail, about 1024x680.
So when you are scrolling rapidly Aperture has loaded in all of the very small thumbnails - for that phase speed would depend on you having enough memory, and your video card being able to hold a lot of small images (VRAM). When you settle down a bit Aperture loads all of the intermediate thumbnails in so to make that faster you'd want a faster hard drive and also a really good video card to pick up the new images and scale them quickly.
Aperure does a lot of caching already and I'm sure there is room for improvement in how that stuff is handled, we'll probably see some good speedups over time as they get the kinks worked out.

Robo 8 Topic files not displaying in project manager

I am working on a project upgrade and have made new topics in Robo 8 project. When I view the topic files for a particular folder in the Project Manager view only 1/2 of my topics are displayed.. When I look in the folder (behind the scenes), all my topics are there, just not displayed in the Project Manager. What do I need to do? Thanks!.

Peter,
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
I have a project that I tested with RH 8.0.2.208 using the following steps/results.
October 5, 2009 – last date the project was modified – based on the modified date of *.htm files and *.xpj file.
Copied the project.
Opened the copy using *.xpj.
Broken links exist.
Opened a 10-5-2009 copy of the actual HTML help file. Checked one broken link topic. The topic exists in the output and looks correct.
Copied the project again.
Deleted *.cpd.
Open the new copy using *.xpj.
Broken links exist.
Generated (HTML) primary output.
Checked one broken link topic (same as above). Topic content exists, but the screen captures in the topic do not. A red x appears in place of the screen captures.
I do not know how to uninstall only the patch. I looked at Add or Remove programs, and I do not see a stand alone entry for the patch.
To uninstall the patch, do I have to completely uninstall RH 8.0.2 and reinstall the older version fresh? That seems like a major bother. An uninstall and fresh install of the earlier version will likely eliminate some styles and other settings that I have saved.
Is there a way to uninstall just the patch?
As an alternative to uninstalling 8.0.2, I opened a fresh copy of the project (last modified 10-5-2009) on a machine with RH 8.0.203 installed, i.e., a machine without the patches installed.
There were no problem with the project, i.e., no broken links.

Create a Custom View in Project Server 2010 that is Visible in MS Project

Hello All,
We want our PMs to consistently report Physical % Complete, but couldn't find an existing "Status" or "EVM" view. So, in Project Server 2010, using Server Settings > Look and Feel > Manage Views, I created a customized project
view using existing fields (no customized fields, if that matters). The problem is that I cannot find the view when I open MS Project. Under Manage Views, in the Format View section, I have selected "Gantt Chart (Views)" for the Gantt
Chart format field. The view defaulted to "Timesheet" for the Grouping format field. Under the Security Categories section, I have selected My Projects and My Tasks. I have not applied a Filter. Any ideas why I cannot find
this new custom view in MS Project?
Was I supposed to create the new customized view directly in MS Project? If so, where would I find the steps to do that? Thank you!
Julie

Julie --
Nice try, my friend. Your only mistake was trying to create the Microsoft Project view in PWA. You have to open the Enterprise Global for editing in Microsoft Project, and then create the custom view and table in the Enterprise Global. To
open the Enterprise Global for editing, click File > Info > Manage Enterprise Global. When you finish creating the custom view and table, then save, close, and check in the Enterprise Global file, and then exit Microsoft Project completely.
The next time you or any of your PMs launch Microsoft Project and connect to Project Server, the custom view and table will be visible for every current and future project. Hope this helps.

DMS Tab it's not visible in Project Management (PPM 5.0)

Hello Gurus;
I have been active the SAP DMS option in:
SPRO --> SAP Portfolio and Project Management --> Project Management --> Structure --> Define Project Types
And configured the document settings:
SPRO --> SAP Portfolio and Project Management --> Project Management --> Documents -->
Create Status Profile for Documents
Define Object Links for Documents in DMS
Define Object Links for Project Status Reports in DMS
But it isn't visible the DMS tab.
Has anyone fixed this issue?
Best regards,
Mariano

Hi Mariano,
DMS Status Reports tab appears at the level of Structure tab. And SAP DMS is at the level of Basic Data under Structure tab.
Check the application configuration CPROJECTS_FPM under the package DEVELOPMENT_PROJECTS_UI_WD in SE80.
After launching the configurator, check if all the tabs are there for the CPROJECTS_FPM.
Regards
Amit

Project Management and Resource Management Reporting Views

I am wondering if anyone would have and is willing to share some documentation they may have put together around reporting views related to Project Management and Resource Management modules. We are installing the projects suite and I have never done custom reporting out of these modules and would be interested in feedback or documentation anyone may have related to these or any offer of assistance or direction in designing the reporting views.
Thank you in advance!
Matt

hello Tony,
What I can say. Maybe you should use SAP PPM as a operational Project Management tool and integrate it with WBS elements and projects in SAP PS. Probably it will be the best solution for you.
The second way is to use a second project structure for project management as you wrote, with different number of this project. So you will have 2 structures one for actual posting of costs and the second for rest management needs and statistical posting of costs. Probably you will need CO substitution for posting of costs to post costs on these 2 structures.
There will be many other conditions to get right solution but I think this 2 ways are possible.

SharerPoint V3.0, Project Management Template - Dashboard View

In the Overall Project Status, the last category to the right is the "Overdue Tasks" icon.
How does sharepoint determine if a Task is Overdue for this specific Icon. Here is what is happenning to me:
Current Date = 11/5/2008
Any Task with an End Date of 11/6/2008 - 12/31/2008 is fine.
However, this icon is showing a task as overdue if the date is 1/1/2009 - 11/4/2009 and NOT overdue if the date is 11/6/2009 - 12/31/2009?
The "Overdue Tasks" view is working as expected, it is showing only tasks with an End Date of Less than Current Date and not = to Complete. Why is the icon on the Dashboard working differently? Where is the setting for this icon located so I can change it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Dave at MB

Hi Dave,
I have confirmed your issue in my test environment.
The cause of the issue is the logic that estimates the Overdue items is not perfect.
You could locate the logic the following detailed steps:
1.     Navigate to the Dashboard in Project Management Section.
2.     Modify the Overall Project Status web part, Click the XSL Editor.
3.     In the opening dialog window, locate to the following highlighted code:

                 <td class="ms-vb" style="text-align:right; height: 22px; vertical-align:middle;">
                <span style="vertical-align:middle">
                         <xsl:value-of select="count($FilteredPeerTasks[@Status != 'Completed' and
(substring-before(@DueDate,'-') < substring-before(ddwrt:TodayIso(),'-')
or
substring(@DueDate,6,2) < substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),6,2)
or
substring(@DueDate,9,2) < substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),9,2))])"/>
                </span>
                <xsl:text xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime" ddwrt:nbsp-preserve="yes" disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text>  
                <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="count($FilteredPeerTasks[@Status != 'Completed' and
(substring-before(@DueDate,'-') < substring-before(ddwrt:TodayIso(),'-')
or
substring(@DueDate,6,2) < substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),6,2)
or
substring(@DueDate,9,2) < substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),9,2))]) = 0 ">
                    <img src="images/KPI-0.gif" originalAttribute="src" originalPath="images/KPI-0.gif" originalAttribute="src" originalPath="images/KPI-0.gif" originalAttribute="src" originalPath="images/KPI-0.gif" originalAttribute="src" originalPath="images/KPI-0.gif" align="absmiddle"/>
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:when test="count($FilteredPeerTasks[@Status != 'Completed' and

or
substring(@DueDate,6,2) < substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),6,2)
or
substring(@DueDate,9,2) < substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),9,2))]) < 5">

                  </xsl:otherwise>
                </xsl:choose>
                 </td>
If you are familiar with coding, you may find the logic is not perfect.
The logic divide the date into Year, Month and Day, and then estimates separately.
As we have not announced an official update, I suggest you to amend it by yourself.
And I will give code sample written by me for your reference:
number(substring(translate(@DueDate,'-',''),1,8)) < number(substring(translate(ddwrt:TodayIso(),'-',''),1,8))
you could copy the code and replace the highlighted part.
PLEASE NOTE: The code is not well tested, and I do not guarantee there will not be errors, so some minor debugging may be needed and you should modify based on your requirement.

Deliverable Created in contract not visible in project management

Hi All,
We are using the deliverable tracking system of oracle project contract for creation of requisition of project related items.But those deliverable can not be seen in Project management screen. Is there any way to see these deliverables in project management?
Thanks In Advance
Saptarshi

Hi
By Oracle design there is no link between OKE Deliverables and the Project Management Deliverables.
Those are managed on separate tables.
You may consider customizing the system using API to create a PJT deliverable from an OKE deliverable, maintaining a DFF attribute to see the link between the two entities. My idea is to have something similar to Oracle's solution that creates an event in Projects Billing from a billing event that user creates in OKE.

Customize PWA Project site to show Project Summary View to Manager

Dear All,
I want to add some web part @Project Level so that Manager can come to know about Project status @ a glance without going in deep & looking every task.
This summary should include following data as :
Project Name ; Start Date; Finish Date; Project Status So far; Remaining work, Project Manager Name like that.
Or if any one having better idea as how to present Project status to Management then let me know.

To get the Project Level details on the Project Site, look at using JavaScript, see a code sample I published below:

Master Pages / Sync topic list and Project Manager

Hi,
Is there an easier way to see if I've applied my Master page to all my topics rather than right-clicking and checking Properties for each topic? No indication of a Master page shows up in my topic list and there isn't a report I saw to identify this. What I have in my Master page is code so it would not be apparent by looking at output.
Also, is there a way to sync the highlighting within RH to the topic I'm working on. For example, if I'm working in a topic and it's highlighted in my topic list, the same topic isn't highlighted in the Project Manager?
Thanks very much,
Sue

Hi there
If you look at the Topic List pod you should be able to see a column labeled Master Page.
Click image below for larger view.
If you don't see this column, you might need to scroll the scroll bar to the right. Note also that you may drag the column header to place it next to the Topic name if you like. Also, you may need to right-click the column headers in order to enable the Master Page.
Cheers... Rick

Project Management Wishlist (hoping for software or online solutions)

hi all.
i've converted the office to mac over the last two plus years and need to put a second level of organization to bed.
would anyone mind helping me find other websites and/or suggestions on how to get this finalized? apologies for the length and intricacy of the post but THANKS for any help on this! even just one good lead or recommendation (say for FileMaker or one of the Devon tools could help me get moving forward with it and not have to backtrack).
i work on PROJECTS that seem to need various kinds of data. some notetaking, imagery, url's. pages documents, pages documents printed to pdf, some pdfs that others created, spreadsheets, various creative files such as CAD, photoshop, indesign etecetera - and of course email and text and phone conversations. i would really ideally love to pull all this together but of course i know this is not realistic.
i also really need to communicate some of this information with clients and have them communicate back to me, right now this is a terrible mess and extremely unproductive with widely dispersed and duplicated information (at a bare minimum).
i have finally customized my images in Aperture but still need to organize my pdf's and my videos. i also find Spotlight to be rather unhelpful for some items and in reading up on Devon, one of their tools has a /graphic/ search display that somehow shows linked items and whether they have been "read" or not. this kind of VISUAL ORGANIZATION would be absolutely fantastic [http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/devonagent/overview.html]. i should also add that what i /don't/ want to do is to have to catalog my project file by file and simply DRAGGING and DROPPING files to create a link if my ideal organizational method. tagging items with the GTD tools that i have tested is a non-starter for me and i actually don't even use tags in my Aperture database. i just drag and drop them to an appropriate Project.
currently an example workflow for my Aperture database is that i POST these images to flickr to let a client see what kind of imagery i am using in their project (but they cannot upload /their/ imagery). nevertheless, this is very convenient because i can simply create an ALBUM in Aperture and drop the (pre-organized) imagery in there and post it to flickr from within the Aperture UI. this is really great but getting this link to a client is a bit of a pain because even flickr Pro uses some silly thing where you have to decide whether the recipient is a "friend" or "family" and ostensibly anyone that gets determined as one or the other can see all the other images in this category. it would be a whole lot better if i could just create an Album for a particular client. of course it would be great to
in any event -
in an ideal world (off the top of my head i would like) the ability to create a "Project" in my computer which organizes the following and /also/ allows me to post this to a place where Clients can have a LOGIN and PASSWORD that allows them to both view and UPLOAD information.
1. bookmarks
2. pdfs
3. spreadsheets
4. contact list
5. images
6. other files
7. a lot that i am forgetting to include here.
it would also be great to be able to organize PHONE CALLS and TEXTS and EMAILS on my computer so that i can have a record of communication with and FOR this client.
i would also like to get most or much of this to my iPhone if at all possible!

Ipolucci,
I am a teacher and so I do not have your needs to really understand your requests.
That said, I would reccomend you FileMaker Pro and Journler ( currently at version 1.1.62, running by Mac OS X 10.3.9 , the version I have and already in versio 2.0.1 for those who have 10.4).
The first one is a relational commercial DB of an Apple subsidiary, with several template solutions ( probably one will fill your needs ) and the second one is a freeware, that has integration with Mail, Adress Book, Blogs, Photos, Audio recordings, iTunes and more.
Just in case does not come anyone else with the complete solution, you should consider a free trial of FileMaker Pro (just released the version 8.5) and take a look at Journler.
Both at <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/>

RH7: Project Manager Tab keeps refreshing continuously

I have upgraded my project from RH5 to RH7. There were in all 65 projects (.xpj) files that I upgraded. However, i have this issue with some of the files. When I open the xpj file, the Project Manager tab keeps refreshing. I cant scroll and select the files that are towards the end because the moment I click the scroll bar, the the tab refreshes and I cant click on the file.
Most of the files that I upgraded work fine.
Please suggest a solution. Thanks.

Have you tried renaming the CPD and reopening RH to make it create a new one?

Unable to Open Project Site Access Denied Issue (Project Manager)

Hi
We got an issue that one project manager is having 12 projects, in that she can able to view 5 projects-- project sites but remaining 7 projects --- she is not able to open the project site (access denied) error is throwing when she try to open.
She is the project manager of the 12 projects and having project manager permissions on the project sites.
Please suggest any solution for this.
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

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.

Unable to open Project management reports

Hi,
I tried to access Reports under Project management, I can see some list of reports but whenever i click any report i get this message " Do you want to save this file or find a program online to open it , Name : BExab6f08f3 , type : unknown , from: xxxxxx " . I get this whenever i try to access any reports in project management.
I had checked few things from my side, /BCV/Main is activated, I have BCV_admin role and also CPR_BCV_USER role, but still i am not able to view a single report. I tried accessing from NWBC desktop GUI and web gui, same error. Please guide me in solving this problem.

Hi,
I just have some clarifications, is it necessary to have BI system to access the Reports under Project management / portfolio management?, Or can it be accessed without any BI system?. I found that whenever I run any report under Reports section it tries to execute the RFC SAP_BW, but in my system there is no data available in that RFC, since we dont have BI.please let me know about this.

The order of topics in the Project Manager is not reflected when creating a PDF for review.

Can't seem to find an answer to this in the forums...
Using RH10.
In the Project Manager pod is a default 'Project Files' folder.
Within that I have a 'Topics' folder in which my topic files reside.
Under the View menu, I have selected 'By Topic Title'. I understand that this displays the topics by their title as opposed to their file name. I understand that this is a display toggle only, and has no relation to the order of the topics - the alternative toggle is 'By File Name'.
Notice in the image below, my topics are displayed by topic title, but aren't in alphabetical order. ...yet.
There's a button at the top of this window for changing the sort order to 'Sort by Name', which has the result below.
Ok, so now the topics are displayed by topic title, and in alphabetical order.
Question 1: If that button toggles the view to display topics in 'alphabetical order', what on earth is the other order called? It's certainly not in order of file name, as I've checked a bunch of the topic filenames, and can't see any pattern/order to the this structure.
Question 2: When I go to create a PDF for review (via Review > Create PDF for Review), the window that appears displays all the topics available to me to select for review. However, they're displayed in this other 'odd' sort order instead of 'alphabetical' order. The Help menu says that this window reflects the order of topics as it finds them in the Project Manager. However, what seems to be actually happening is it's displaying the topics based on the view you have selected under the View menu (i.e. either 'View by Topic Title' or 'View by File Name'), and regardless of which view toggle you have selected, the order of the topics is only ever this 'odd' sort order. In other words, in the 'Create PDF for Review' window, it appears I can never see the topic list in alphabetical order. Furthermore, it appears that the only way I can resolve this is to go back into the Project Manager, switch to 'odd' sort order, and manually drag all the topics into alphabetical order. ...I have hundreds of topics.
Is there some way I can quickly change this 'odd' sort order to 'alphabetical'? There must be some underlying file with this order of topics in it (hopefully).

Hi there
I don't have an immediate answer for Question 2, but for Question 1, the topic order is "User Defined" as you are able to click and drag topics to create any arrangement that suits you. This was something added as a result of user feedback. Enough users asked Adobe to allow them to arrange topics this way that they made it a reality. The logic escapes me as I'm a user that normally expects software to list things in either ascending or descending alphabetical order.
Perhaps Peter will pop in with a nice explanation of the PDF for Review sorting and Adobe's logic behind it.
Cheers... Rick
