Hi Vijay,
In addition to this, I can see that you created almost 30 threads about CSOM since the beginning of september and you didn't mark any of them as an answered.
Could you please review your threads and mark as answer the replies that actually helped you out or answer your questions so they can be closed (but still accessible) and people with a similar concern can refer to it?
Hope this helps,

Odata Connection Refresh Error while using excel web app - Project Online 2013

Hello All,
I am trying to work with odata reporting on project online 2013. I am not using MS Excel client, I open any of the available default report in excel online. when i try to refresh data connection from data tab. it's giving me an error
as show below
screen..
I have already enabled "PWA for excel web app refresh" feature.
Following the blog instructions and microsoft support, i have tried to grant permission to
AppId= 00000009-0000-0000-c000-000000000000
And In the Permission Request XML field, copy and paste the following XML:
<AppPermissionRequests>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope = "http://sharepoint/projectserver/reporting"
Right="Read">
    </AppPermissionRequest>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope = "http://sharepoint/content/tenant"
Right="FullControl">
    </AppPermissionRequest>
</AppPermissionRequests>
Now, According to the microsoft, it should show Microsoft.Azure.Azureservices as Title but as per below screen shot it shows Power BI Reporting and Analytics..
title.<o:p></o:p>
However, i click on ok button and check that the permission has been granted. i can see Microsoft Power BI reporting and analytics in the app permissions.
I again go to my BI reporting, open my report in excel online and refresh the data connection and nothing changed. It's giving me the same error.
I hope that i am able to narrate my problem. Please tell me, What i am missing here...
sandeep

Ok, why did manually add / update the permission XML? Do you get this error for new Excel based reports? Test creating a new one, example here:

Project Online 2013 Licenses/Subscription

I am actually new to the Project Online 2013 ( not the project server ) So have a question regarding the correct subscription for my users.
A bit background, we are trying to implement a Project Portfolio Management solution at our organization and we are researching to see if Project Online is a good fit.
I currently brought Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365
which has the following licenses
1) Project Pro for Office 365
2) Project Online
3) Office Online
4) SharePoint Online ( plan 2)
I got 4 user licenses for the above subscription where the Users have access to PWA and can create projects and do stuff.
We are planning on implementing it as an integration of SharePoint Online & Project. So now we are having our other team members who not PM's or Portfolio Managers who needs access and I am not sure what license to buy for them.
1) SharePoint Online (Stand alone) : If they will be just working on the project sites / Team sites Do I need to get SharePoint Online Subscription so that they can have access to the tasks.
2) Project Lite : If I get this license will my team members be able to access the PWA and even the SharePoint online sites, Will it cover both the options of Enterprise Project Types & SharePoint Task List Project Types.
I think I should go with option 2 of buying Project Lite for my Team Members but wanted to make sure if this is the right Subscription to buy.
Can anyone help me with this?? I tried contacting Microsoft Support through phone but they weren't able to help me or they created a ticket and I am waiting on their specialist to contact me.
But any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
For the Team Members to access the Project Sites and certain pages in PWA (Timesheets / Tasks etc.) the Project Lite license will be fine. See the links below for details:

Project Site custom list data reporting with Odata connection, BI reports in Project online 2013.

Hi,
Can we create an excel report with Odata feed connection which includes project site custom list data?
Example: My Project is "ProjectTest" and it has a project site in which i created a custom list "ProjectNotes" with some new columns. I want to include these columns in my report.
sandeep

Hello,
when using the SharePoint ODATA or REST APIs each list and site would have a different endpoint URL. Some example URLs are below:
REST API:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('ProjectNotes')/Items
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('Risks')/Items
ODATA SVC:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Issues
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ChangeRequests
The down site is that in Excel you cant dynamically update the connection URL so would have to add all of these in manually and create the data models - I guess this is ok if you don't have many projects and don't create many new projects. In code such as
JavaScript it is easy and you can build up the URL dynamically using variables like below:
projSiteUrl + "/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('ProjectNotes')/Items"
The options to explore to see if you have make this dynamic and get the data you want are:
Potentially look at the search API and use that in Excel:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/98159/retrieving-list-items-from-multiple-sites-via-odata-with-excel

Power Query:
http://blog.oraylis.de/2013/05/using-dynamic-parameter-values-in-power-query-queries/
JavaScript (put the data on a page), example:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Server-Risks-and-Issues-on-65dcbe0e
Or bring the data down to a custom SQL database table and report of that data:

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/TimeSet()?select=TimeByDay,TimeDayOfTheWeek$filter=TimeByDay ge datetime'2014-10-19T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Resources()?$select=ResourceId,ResourceName,Programs,Supplier,Source,Role,CostType
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

How To Control the Langauge of BI Reports (Using Excel 2013, oData, and Project Server Online 2013)

Although I buried and posted the following question indirectly in a recent post, I would like to do so here to try and elevate it in the hope that I can get an answer.
It is in regards to creating reports using Excel 2103 to querry Project Server 2013 Online using oData. I would like to be able to control the langauge of my reports that I create for others to view.
Just creating and then saving the Report and Data Connections in a language directory does not seem to drive or determine the language of the report. A colleague of mine over here is using the same directories as I am, and his turn
out to be French like his environment. Mine, even though I save the files in same the French directories, display in English.
Any ideas on how I can create reports so that they display in another language, eg., French when using Excel to create reports? I know that we can set the language in an internet browser to control the language that the result is returned, for instance,
when querying https://.../pwa/_api/ProjectData/$metadata
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Correction! Thanks to Doug Welsby of Microsoft and some our other MS friends who worked behind the scenes to correct/ assist me on this, I got the right answer after all... the difference between, example a French oData command/ statement,
and an English one is the inclusion of the square brackets with the language abbreviation/ code e.g., "[Fr..]" in the oData connection string/ statement. For further reference, see the connection files provided by Microsoft in the Reports and
compare the syntax for the same report/ different language. There is where you will see what and how Excel is able to differentiate/ control what language that the report result will return.

Using oDATA for BI in Project Server 2013

Hi gang,
I am looking to create a BI report that I was able to do quite readily in previous versions of Project Server. I'm trying to create a graph that simply plots resource capacity and work as measures over time, with the resource roles as a filter.
That is it, no more no less. Using Project Server 2013 ON-LINE.
I have successfully connected to the tables using the Data Connection Wizard in Excel to do this. Seems that these are 3 tables I need to get to the data I need--Resource, ResourceTimephasedData, and ResourceTimephasedData.
Fact of the matter is, timephased data tables are causing very very very long delays in populating the Pivot Report that I am looking for. This a fairly new system with hardly any resource and project data in it yet. This approach does not seem
user friendly either. I found it much easier in previous versions. If I do recall, all my data is in one table before.
I am wondering if I am approaching this in the wrong way. Is there another way I should be looking at to get to my data and ultimately my graph?
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hello,
Unfortunately not, OData if the way forward for reporting in Project Online. Is this still slow for you? When you do get more data in the system I would definitely recommend filtering this as much as possible at the source before Excel etc.

Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

Good day,
I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
What works
Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
(one site per project file).
What doesn't work
When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

Steven,
This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.
Cheers,

Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view. Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online. And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id.
Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly). Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
Hope this helps,

Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

Hi All,
i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage.
i don't know why this type of problem is occur.
FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
project server 2013 online its giving error.
so please help me to solve this type of issue.
Thanks

I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

Need to create a TASKS page with a filter default in PWA Project Server 2013 (Online)

Never done this so, I am wondering How to go about or what I would need to create a simple PWA page like "Tasks" in Project Server 2013 online where it default to a filter that is set to not equal to the user that is logged on?
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
The "my tasks" page or "my timesheet" are automatically filtered on the user currently connected. Unless you are using workarounds such as status manager or delegation, I see no way to bypass this.
Hope this helps,
