MS Project 2010 Server
How to move a single MS Project plan and it's SharePoint project site from a PWA server to another PWA server (one at a time)
I have 2 Project PWA servers, i know how to copy all the databases (Publishing, Draft, Reporting, archive, content) from one SQL server and copy it to the other PWA server so both server can be identical.
I need to only move a single project from a PWA server to another,
Moving the Project plan, actual time data, SharePoint site with all it's content
Is there a 3rd party tool that can be added on to the server to help me move single project plans? to different PWA servers?

Incorporation of project management plan into sharepoint

Hi,
I dont know if this is the intended forum for asking this question.
I have a business problem of integrating Microsoft Project Plan files into SharePoint and then generate reports from it.
Could you please let me know the process or a link where i can find the know-how for integrating with SharePoint and at the same time also handle the risks/issues and other Project management activities.
Thanks

Hello exploreIT,
SharePoint 2010 has a service on top of it called Project Server 2010.
This product actually has things like Reporting (they have Cubes for things like projects, assignments but also risks) and Project Workspaces (SharePoint site templates with Risks & Issues lists).
If you want to know more about the integration I can suggest this article on Technet:

Error Message when opening Project Plan on Project Professional from PWA 2013 using either Google Chrome or Firefox

Dears,,
One of our clients uses Google Chrome
as their standard navigator to open PWA 2013 that we have deployed for them.
Every thing went fine until we tried to open a project plan using Project Professional 2013 from PWA using the Edit in Project Professional option, we had the below error:
"Project Web App was unable to find the specified Project.
the project was not found on Project Web App. some possible reasons include:
The Project has not yet been saved successfully to the server.
The Project has been deleted on the server.
you don’t have adequate permissions to open this project.
if the project is available in the local cache, you can click the globe in the status bar and select "Work offline", and then open the project, if the problem continues, contact
your administrator."
Please note that IE is working fine with this scenario,
the belwo screenshot shows the error that appears to the users.

Hi All,
As Gary and Guillaume suggested, have you tried to install IE tab extension for chrome?
See the link below:
http://www.ietab.net/
and also im with what Dale has posted
(why don't you just tell the PM to use Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome?
I suspect that this problem reveals that PWA does not work perfectly in browsers other than the Internet
Explorer,
so I would simply mandate that all PMs and TMs need to use Internet Explorer for Project Server.
Just a thought. Hope this helps.)
from my side , i have tested it and it works perfect.

Project Server 2010 / Sharepoint 2010 Permissions not syncing to Project Site

Project Permissions not syncing to Project Site
Project Manager Group
New project is created and published project server sends permissions to Sharepoint which puts users into the following groups:
<dir><dir></dir></dir><dir><dir>
Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server)
Team members (Microsoft Project Server)
Readers (Microsoft Project Server)
At this time the creator/owner, owner’s management, portfolio managers, and executives should all have Project Manager rights on the sharepoint site, and Admins will have Web Admin permissions.
Issue #1: Only the Web Admin permissions and creator/owner permissions are being added to the Sharepoint permission groups
Workaround #1: Going into the project site permissions and adding the
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) group manually and the sync will keep the permissions
Workaround #2: Going into the Server Settings, Manager Groups then removing or add all users to the No Permission Group, which forces an sync to all workspaces. Con: This workaround can only be down at night when users are not active since it will
block the queue for at least an hour.
Project Owner Transfer
Previously created project has owner change, once saved and published project server sends permissions to update user’s permission to
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) on Sharepoint project site.
Issue #2: When Project owner is changed and project is published the owner is not getting permissions to the Sharepoint project site. However, if owner is also added to the team using the Build Team Feature the sync will give the owner Project
Manager permissions on the Project Site.
Workaround #1: Going into Server Settings, Project Sites, select project and Synchronize. Once this is done, the owner will have Project Manager Permissions without being added to the team.
Users who have been added to this project in Project Server 2010, but not assigned to tasks. Users who have assignments in this project in Project Server 2010 and are contributors to the project workspace site,
meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks. Users who have published this project or who have
Save Project permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks. Users who have
Manage SharePoint Foundation permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks.</dir></dir>

By default when you create project build team add users in the task and publish the project plan then All the User which are available in the project plan including Project owner will go to below mentioned group in project site:
1. creator/owner, owner’s management, portfolio managers, and executives should all have Project Manager will get access to Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server)
2. User who are having team member access to PWA will get Team members (Microsoft Project Server) access if they are assigned to the project task.
3. User who are having team member access to PWA will get Readers (Microsoft Project Server) access if they are not assigned to the project task.
4. Only PWA Administrator will get the access to Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)
Sharepoint permission you have to use when you want to give permission manually to users on project site
In the Project Site provisioning setting under Server setting if you have Check to automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions change in Project
Server.
Then all the user get access as per describe above and if you will give access manually to any of the user either in project server group or in Sharepoint group once you will publish the project next time all the manually given permission will go away.
IF you want to give permission to user manually to sharepoint group or project server group then uncheck automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions
change in Project Server.
You check PWA site setting --> Site permission then member of Sharepoint group user who will have access to sharepoint group in PWA site setting site permission will have access to all the project site sharepoint group as Project site inherit permission
from PWA root site.
Both the issue which you have described is behavior of project site.
For issue 2 when first time project owner create and publish the project and projectsite is getting created then porject owner name gets access in the porject manager (project server group) nect time if you will change the owner and publish the project
until he will not present in the project plan will not get the permission.
If you want to give sharepoint permission to users then uncheck automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions change in Project Server and give
the permission manually.
Project site in 2010 has some issue and not full filling customer need some time ,Ms has came up with 2013 which is having tight integration with project sites .
Project workspace security groups are equal to the SharePoint Server 2010 security groups.
Web Administrator equals Full Control
Project Managers equals Design
Team members equals Contribute
Readers equals Read
Users who have Manage
SharePoint Foundation permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can
create and edit documents, issues, and risks will get access to Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)

Can't checkout Project files from SharePoint 2013

I have library with 'require checkout' set that contains mpp files. I have MS Project 2013 (SP1) installed locally.
If I choose edit for one of the mpp files, it simply opens in MS project as read-only and doesn't allow me to save it (only as a local copy). There's no option to check-out anywhere. Obviously I can check-out manually in SP before opening then check in again
afterward but it seems clearly wrong that I'm allowed to click "Edit", make changes, but then be unable to save back to SP again (even if you switch back to SP to check-out, Project still thinks you've opened it Read Only and won't let you save back
to SP).
What am I missing?

Hi Dylan,
Didn't you have this message just above the ribbon in MS Project 2013?
Using Project Server 2013, MS Project by default opens projects in read-only mode, the user having to intentionnally click on the "check-out" button to check it out. That being said, I'm not sure if the behavior is the same with a project plan opened from
a SharePoint librairy but it is worth checking this point.
Hope this helps,

Creating project in project server from sharepoint list 2013 automatically

Hi All,
is it possible to create project plan on project server center from sharepoint custom list automatically once i added an item to it using project server setting in the list setting not event receiver on item added on the list

khatib7

Hello, if you need it to be created in ProjectServer straightaway why not skip the project ideas type list and just create the project in Project Server? Alternatively if you want to use the custom list look at using workflow to automate the project creation.

OBIEE 10g to 11g Upgrade Project plan

Hello All,
I am a technical consultant working on OBIEE/OBIA and the management needs a project plan for upgrading OBIEE suite 10g to OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6).
Can you please share some details as -task list and approx hours required. I have a rough idea of task list in terms environment setup, installations, configuration, custom code migration, testing etc. I want present a professional plan that is being followed by others. Dont want to look odd one out. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks you !

See this in the log:
*02712: Expected oracle.biee.admin:type=BIDomain.BIInstance.ServerConfiguration,* Oracle instance, found 0*
You will have to look into why the upgrade utility isnt seeing any instance recognized - it will only work with 1 instance registered and for some reason it cant find any in your configuration.
You could try looking in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Error Messages Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) for details on the error.
Ensure the service instance name is present in jps-config.xml.

Project Server 2010 Timesheets not Updating Project Plans

We have several project plans that are not getting updates from approved timesheets.
Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
1) Verified the timesheet/task submissions by the resources
2) Verified they have been approved
3) Verified they have been accepted by the Status Manager and processed
4) All project plans have been published (I even used ProjTool ON the App server to do a full publish of all plans as a second step of publishing)
5) Verified OLAP was built successfully overnight (and every night)
6) Tasks have both remaining work and NO actual work in the Resource Usage view
7) Had a user recall and resubmit his timesheet using "Send Timesheet" to see if the task updates would come through - they did not (I am Status Manager and the timesheet shows Approved), and even published the plan and rebuilt the OLAP again,
just in case.
8) Verified that no tasks are marked for closure under Close Tasks for Update in Server Settings.
9) Verified Timesheet shows Actual Work on the Tasks via Pivot Table; compared Timesheet_User_View with MSP_Portfolio_View pivot table for project which shows 0 hours. Timesheet_User_View shows 33 hours.
All tasks have Remaining Work, are within the date range of the timesheet and are open for submitting time. Timesheets are still out of sync with project plans for many users and there is no apparent reason. I'm out of ideas!

Hi,
In status manager's approval center, history, status updates, can you check the status of the approval? Do you have any errors in the ULs log for the approval or publish jobs?
Hope this helps,

The problem here is when we are saving the project plans into XML and opening the same file again thorugh MPP, the data for this custom field(ProjectComments) is showing till 129 Characters only. Seems to be the data is truncating till 129 charachers.
Could anyone suggest me how to resolve this issue without trucnating the characters in the custom fields.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue with Project Pro 2010 SP2. Which SP do you have? How is configured your custom field?

Can a Column in a Project Plan be set to Read Only for everyone except Admins

At my company the Project Server Admins create the initial project plans. We want to add a new column that will designate each task in the plan as Capital or Operational. We do not want anyone to have the ability to change these.
When the Project Managers need additional tasks on their plans they will need to copy an existing one in order to have this piece of information pre-populated on their new tasks, since we do not want them deciding what the task should be themselves and populating
the field as they create tasks.

In addition to Dale's excellent answer, I'd mention that it is possible to make a column "read-only" for certain security groups in MS Project Pro with VBA code.
That being said, I'd suggest to follow Dale's advice using a "soft" solution.
Hope this helps,

Error in saving project plan in project server 2007

I am getting following error when I try to make a change and saved the project plan. It has happened several times since yesterday. Not sure if the file is corrupted.
Is it possible to make a copy of the file and mark the current file as inactive?
The File cannot be opened.
Check that the File name and path are correct.
Check that the File format is recognized by Project.
Project Files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98
can't be opened.
If your File is From an earlier version, open it in that version, click
Save as (File menu), and save in MPX Format Open the MPX File. When
you use this method, project data is imported, but Formatting is lost.
Has any one has same issue? any suggestions please reply.
Thanks-

Hi Micahel,
Thanks for the posting!
what would be solution inorder to make it working.i was looking at some posts which i listed below for some it had worked....i did not try it but just guessing it would work
1. Launch Project Professional 2007 and connect to Project Server.
2. In the new blank project (Project1), click Insert - Project.
3. Select the troublesome project.
4. DESELECT the "Link to project" checkbox and then click the Insert
button.
5. When prompted to save the changes to the troublesome project, click the
No button
Or in another case it may be
Saving as a template with re-open is a smart work around, typically when a network connection gets dropped. In these cases
we have copy/pasted to a new file, or, saved as XML and then reopened.
I appreciate any kind of help on it.
Thanks

Best Practice for Using Static Data in PDPs or Project Plan

Hi There,
I want to make custom reports using PDPs & Project Plan data.
What is the Best Practice for using "Static/Random Data" (which is not available in MS Project 2013 columns) in PDPs & MS Project 2013?
Should I add that data in Custom Field (in MS Project 2013) or make PDPs?
Thanks,
EPM Consultant
Noman Sohail

Hi Dale,
I have a Project Level custom field "Supervisor Name" that is used for Project Information.
For the purpose of viewing that "Project Level custom field Data" in
Project views , I have made Task Level custom field
"SupName" and used Formula:
[SupName] = [Supervisor Name]
That shows Supervisor Name in Schedule.aspx
============
Question: I want that Project Level custom field "Supervisor Name" in
My Work views (Tasks.aspx).
The field is enabled in Task.aspx BUT Data is not present / blank column.
How can I get the data in "My Work views" ?

Read only Sub Project Plans checking out in EPM

Hi all,
Has anyone working on Project Server come accross an issue where sub project plans inserted as 'Read Only' in a master Plan, check out and therefore prevent other access? Working on Project Server 2010 with Project 2010 SP2
clients.
The strange thing is that its not every single plan in a master that performs in this manner.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and does anyone know any fixes?
Thanks,
-CL.

We've always had security on, the only thing that changed was my understanding of how we were doing security.
Before, I had written a custom UserCC that always returned the same name, after I used the standard UserCC. I had the same results both time.
The cause of my error message is "MDS repository may be configured incorrectly", which I kind of figured, but there's nothing to point me to diagnose how it is incorrectly configured or how to fix it.

Load a project from a SharePoint document library

"Add a project to a SharePoint document library" is nicely documented in the RoboHelp reference guide. However there is no information on adding another user to that library, i.e. how do you synchronize that user with the library on SharePoint? Do they open a new project and restore the files...? I have no idea how to do this - spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out as there in no information on this - not even on Google searches. It's really a shame that a powerful help authoring tool is lacking help itself. I'm a fan of robohelp, however when you face roadblocks like this - it's very frustrating. This should be something simple to do and it should be clearly documented. Can someone please help.

I have just found the solution and it had previously been answered in this post: How do I connect multiple users to a project on Sharepoint for collaboration
Adobe - you need to include this in your documentation - this is a vital feature for people using the ShrePoint connector. I should't have to take two hours of my time to find a random post about this to resolve my problem.
