Project Server 2010 - Applying CUs after SP2?

Question

I am taking over support of a development environment for Project Server 2010 and would like to update it to a more recent level of CU. We have one DB server, and all other components are on one additional server.
Current levels from the Control Panel: MS Proj Server 2010 14.0.7015.1000, MS Sharepoint Server 2010 14.0.7015.1000, Service Pack 2 KB2687452 applied.
Farm Info: Config DB version: 14.0.6134.5001.
 1. Can I apply the April CU and it will include all the previous CUs since SP2? Do I need to install the CUs one at a time?
 2. For each CU, do I install the Sharepoint component first, then Project?
 3. I keep reading information about problems with SP1 but I don't see it in my Control Panel as installed (just SP2.) Can I install Feb or April 2014 CU and avoid whatever issues were happening with July 2013 CU and SP1?
 4. Any advice on next steps is greatly appreciated.

Hi LD2009,
here are the answers to your questions:
Q1: The CU April 2014 has included all fixes since SP2. So you don't need to install older CUs.
Q2: You don't need seperate packages for SharePoint and Project Server. There is a Rollup-Package which updates both SharePoint
and Project Server together. You can find it
here.
Q3: You must enshure that SP2 was installed and deployed correctly. In the Central Administration check if all databases were upgradet to the latest Level. If not, run psconfig.
If you have the BCS Service configured then you have to run the following PS script (otherwise the BCS database would remain in the compatibility mode):
(Get-SPDatabase | ?{$_.type -eq “Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SharedService.BdcServiceDatabase”}).Provision()
For all other issues we need more details.
For more informations read the blog posts from

I hope this helps.
