Project Server 2010 failover environment with Database SQL Mirroring

Hello,
We have prod and failover environment. Failover environment created by using farm backup and restore of prod.
my question is : Can we do SQL Mirroring (from prod to failover) of 5 databases (4 PS databases and content db) to keep both the environment in sync. Will this process work in the case of Project
Server 2010. i am in doubt due to timestamp and GUID in config DB.
Also will this process is supportable.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello MOhit2020,
I haven't done this type of failover, but I think you would need to setup all your SharePoint and project databases to use a SQL Alias to point to your production databases. When and if your production databases failed, you would update
your SQL Alias to point to the mirror location.
The other nice feature about having SQL Alias setup in SharePoint, is that in the future, if you switch to another SQL Server, the SQL alias makes it easier to handle.
Cheers!

Project Server 2010 - Error 20010 with a master project and 3 sub-projects during publication

Hi,
Here is the situation :
One master project with three sub projects.
Sub projects are really similar (Same ressources and nearly same tasks but only the first contain real work for now).
Sub projects got no sub projects nor links between projects.
The owner of the master project got read rights through projects permissions on sub projects.
Sub projects are link in "read only".
We applied Project Server 2010 SP2 last week end and the issue appeared monday.
Here are the symptoms :
When we link only one sub project (Doesn't matter which one), the owner can publish, no problems.
With 2 sub projects, the error may occur.
With 3 sub projects, the error always occurs.
With admin rights, the error doesn't occur.
Here is the error :
ID : 20010 (0x4E2A)
Description : You don't have required permissions to perform the action (Average traduction)
Detail : <detail><errinfo><general><class name="Project"><error id="20010" name="GeneralSecurityAccessDenied" uid="19515c1d-2624-466f-953a-b7fc67337b81"/></class></general></errinfo></detail>
I'm unable to determine which sub project is the culprit, if there is one, as it's working when I link only one of them.
Thanks for your time !

Fylim --
If the project manager in question does not need to edit any of the three projects, the PM does not need to have Read/Write access to any of the three projects. Because you said that the PM needs to set links in all three projects, this means that
the PM will be editing all three projects. In order to edit the three projects, the PM must have Read/Write access to all three. Setting cross-project links constitutes editing of the projects, which is why the PM must have Read/Write permission.
Make sense?
Regarding SP2, I am not aware that this would change anything, but I could be wrong. The reality is that regardless of which SP you have applied to Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010, the PM in this situation MUST have Read/Write access to the
projects that he/she needs to edit with cross-project links. Hope this helps.

How to : Configure Project Server 2010 to work with Exchange Server 2013

Hi everybody. I have a problem. I did integration success project server 2010 with exchange server 2010. But now my customer use exchange server 2013. So my question is "Have a way to integration project server 2010 with exchange server 2013 ?"

I haven't seen any document with Project 2010 and Exchange 2013. You could still try the old document with Project 2010 and Exchange 2010.

It might just work.

Project Server 2010 SP2 - Use with IE11, Firefox and Safari

More groups in my company are being onboarded to start reporting time and managing projects out of Project Server /PWA 2010.  We found that one of the groups have MACs and use either Safari or Firefox. There are some members of that
same team who are using an HP machine but are using IE 11.
From what I am reading and what I am seeing it appears that with Firefox and Safari you cannot access Manage Timesheets or Project Center.  Has anyone found a work-around for this?
The work-around we are using for IE11 is to add Project Serrver to the Compatability View.  Does anyone know of a problem with this approach?
Thank you

Look into using the 'IE tab' for Chrome/Firefox as a work-around. I had a similar scenario with Mac users and installed IE tab in their Chrome/Firefox browsers for them and worked pretty good for the most part. Hope this helps.

Project server 2010. Troubles with resource availability

A problem occurred while checking resource usage using PWA.
Using the PS 2010
the total number of projects about 2000, about 1600 resources (for 5 years)
We have a project - project1 and resource involved in it - res1
In the project, each week for the resource specified work (20 - 30 hours), the project is saved and published. (When publishing a project there are no errors.)
In MS Project and PWA in Project center values per weeks are the same. Go to the resource center, choose res1 and check its work in resource availability and see that for some weeks value of work is 0, at some 1.75. some 0.462 etc.
For other projects work of this resource displayed normally. Moreover, for all other resources is displayed correctly in this project.
When re-saving project data and republishing it the situation is same.
This issue takes place to be for some other projects.
questions:
1 - what database of PS take the data for plotting in resource availability?
2 - than similar behavior can be caused?
3 - how possible to solve this problem?
Thanks for help!

Hi,
The resource availability in PWA-resource center is based on the Published DB data.
In order to trouble shoot, can you check in the data grid under the resource availability graph the capacity of the resource? Indeed the availability is calculated based on work versus capacity. The capacity might vary with calendar exceptions (holidays)
and non-working administrative time in the resource timesheet. I'd suggest that you check in detail the periods where you have this unexpected behavior and see the resource calendar and timesheets.
Also what you can do is to open a blank project plan (be sure to check the option "load summary resources assignments when starting MS Project Pro), insert the resource, go to the resource usage and add the remaining availability and work availability.
Then you could confirm if the data are correct or not.
Hope this helps,

Error Project Server 2010, % Complete, Work and Actual Work

Hi Everyone
I have a Project Server 2010 SP2 Environment, The farm contains 3 Servers.
1 WFE, 1WebApp, 1 BD. All servers in the farm are Windows Server 2008 R2 and the Data Base Server is SQL Server 2008 R2
The Context:
The Project Managers create the Project in Project Professional 2010 SP2 for support Annual Maintenance about a software, then the team members go to my tasks in PWA to create the task inside the stage in the project, then they put the actual work, then they
send the progress to his project manager.
So, the project manager goes to the approval page to approve two times, one, the task creation and two, the progress.
So far all ok but when the project manager open the Gantt in Project Professional 2010 SP2 , the task that the team member has sent appear with a 100 percent complete, but the work with 0 hours and the actual work with 0 hours too, being that should appear
with the hours the team member has sent, that is my problem.
This occur only with this project manger and his team member, all of others project managers in the platform don't report this issue.
I already have re open the project and re publish too
So , let me know if you have some idea about this issue.
Erick Gutiérrez PMI Membership #ID 2089740 MTCS - Microsoft Project Server Managing Projects

Only other ideas is to make sure the duration isn't 0, which would make it a milestone.
Have the resources, recall the timesheets and resubmit. Run it thru cycle again and see if they actual show up.
Finally, you can run SQL query and see where the data may be.
1) Check if status manager is who you think it is
2) Check if project shows actuals in sql. Doesn't explain why not showing in schedule.
cheers!

Problem: Task completion sync back from Exchange 2010 to Project Server 2010

I have new installation of PS 2010 and Exchange 2010 (one server holds all roles including CAS).
For sync between PS and EX 2010, I following the technet article Configure Project Server 2010 to work with Exchange Server 2010 at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff468700%28office.14%29.aspx (yes I read the second part on Impersonation, too).
Basically I followed the video and opted for "Impersonation for all users".
I got tasks appear in resources outlook "Tasks" folder no problem. They appeared instantly after project is published. But when the resource update the completion in outlook, it failed to update the Project server.

Replication of Project Server 2010 databases from Production to Development

HI
We have One Production, One Development and One QA server but the Production data is not matching with the Dev and QA.
Now our client is asking is there any possibility that we can copy the production data bases and replicate in the Dev and QA.
Is there any auto sync method where the production data updates will be updated in Dev and QA automatically.
Our environment is Project Server 2010 4 PWA data bases and 1 config data base and 1 config data base for project sites.
Please suggest a best possible way to solve this issue as i thought to take the the PWA back up frm central admin along with the 4 db back up from pwa--- 6 db back up from sql server---- restore all of them in the Dev and QA---i don't think it is the right
approach.
Thanks
Geetha
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

As per your First post you only want to update the data of DB on regular basis.
Now you are talking about back up restore Please be clear what you want .
If you have all the configuration ready on qa and dev then only replication need to be done.
can i use the replication mechanism for all the 5 databases in PS 2010 at time won't be a problem right
? YES
other wise
If i want to copy the PWA configuration part can i use play book or any other steps i need to perform.
YES
We have some workflows on PWA instance. Create workflow on Dev and QA

Anybody ever get any events like this before? I'm not finding much or nothing on Google or on other forums, so I thought I would run it past and see if anyone has experienced anything of a similar
nature. And yes, the farm account obviously has creator/secadmin permissions, at this point of our deployment....
I look forward to any and all feedback. Thanks and good afternoon!

I figured out the answer to this myself. For those few who might run into something akin to my error...
During the off-hours of where I work, I re-applied the farm account credentials to all dB server VM SQL services that had the account for a log-on (i.e., MSSQLSERVER, SQLSERVERAGENT, etc.) as well as all SharePoint services on our WFE/App Server VM (a two
server farm is what we host), in that order. Then I rebooted the dB server first, followed by the SharePoint server. Upon coming back, everything was working fine again. I was able to provision a site, no probelm, and it seemed to even be a little snappier
when doing so.
One note: doing this procedure gave me a "One or more services have started or stopped unexpectedly" error in the Health Analyzer, for the SPTimerV4 service. When you get this, simply enter into the item and click on "Reanalyze Now;" this will quickly clear
the error out of the Analyzer, and all should be right with the world! :)

Need solution to make changes in existing project sites in Project Server 2010 environment

Dear Folks,
Hope you all are doing good and ready to give a way for this requirement. :)
In project server 2010 environment, I am using InfoPath documents library, Issues, Risks etc in each and every project sites.
Say, after creation of 100 projects/project sites, I have got a requirement to make some changes in the InfoPath document library and in Issues, Risks list, so I have decided to use the following solution which is actually weird:
Make the changes in InfoPath document library, Issues/Risks list for 1 of the project site and save that site as template and associate it with running EPT.
Then, delete the existing project sites (after taking backup) and start recreating it from PWA/Server Settings/ Operational Policies/ Project Sites, so that it will take the latest template. But, seems like it is time taking and handy and actually it's not
working for some of the projects.
Request all of you to provide some solution for this.
Ask more, if my explanation is not clear.
Regards,
Shravan

Hello,
Regarding mass deleting and recreating Project Sites via the PSI, firstly delete the project sites then run the following PowerShell script to bulk create project sites:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Bulk-create-Server-Sites-784f7b29
I have got a script that bulk deletes projects but this is not published as this could be a dangerous script to run if you did know what to update etc. To give you an idea of how to delete project sites via the PSI see a code snippet below:
$EPMTYGUID = [system.guid]::empty
$projectOwnerID = 'd6a0a720-12ac-e211-93f9-00155d153dd4'
$ProjectList = $svcPSProxy.ReadProjectStatus("$EPMTYGUID","PublishedStore","", "0").Project | format-table proj_uid -hidetableheaders | out-string -stream
foreach ($projectUid in $projectList)
if ($projectUid -ne "")
$projectsforDeletions = $svcPSProxy.ReadProject($projectUid, "PublishedStore").Project | where {$_.projectOwnerID -eq $projectOwnerID} | format-table proj_uid -hidetableheaders | out-string -stream
foreach ($projUid in $projectsforDeletions)
if ($projUid -ne "")
$svcWSSProxy.DeleteWSSSite($projUid)
Write-host 'Project UID for deleted site' $projUID
That particular example deletes the project sites for a particular project owner, you could easily modify that to remove the project owner filter if needed.
Regarding your query about having to delete the project sites to get the changes to take affect, there is no easy option to get the issues and risks list changes to filter though, this would either be manual on each existing site or using code to iterate
through each existing site and apply the changes programmatically. Depending on if you used site collection content types to set up the Issues and Risks lists, it might be simple to add a new column etc. as you could do this centrally and it will cascade
down. If you didn't use content types and or its view changes etc. this is a per site change that can be manual or programmatically done. The same applies to the document library, if this was set up using a site collection content type, the changes can
be modified on the content type and cascaded down. If the library was set up with just a library that used local columns / templates then it will be a per site change - the same as the issues and risks.
The company I work for (CPS) does have a site sync tool that will programmatically update existing sites based on a specified site so I know it is all possible to do in code!

Project Server 2013 reporting database change in Schema from Project Server 2010

I have a current Project Server 2010 implementation, I am planning to migrate to Project Online.
We have Customized Reports that consume from the PS 2010 Reporting DB.
Are there differences in the Reporting DB schema between PS 2010 and Project Online?
My Question is: if we migrated to Project Online, will the reports crash?
Another question is that, is PS 2013 Reporting DB schema the same as Project Online?

Hi Atia,
IN project server 2013 we have only one database instead of 4, it means draft, archive, published and reporting with in one database.Project Server 2013 reporting database schema tool that can be downloaded.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2013/01/28/project-server-2013-reporting-database-rdb-schema-reference.aspx
There are differences in reporting of on-premises vs. Project Online
The Project Server 2013 reporting schema includes three new tables, 27 new views, and a total of 33 tables and views that include new fields.
Answer-1 : Yes there are some differences between PS 2010 and project Online.
Answer-2 : Reports will crash as In Project Online you have to use ODATA to create report. You can not query project online data for reporting directly you have to have use ODATA.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163015.aspx
Answer-3 : NO, PS 2013 Schema and Project online Schema is different.

How to query Process Status from database in Project Server 2010

Hello All,
I am using Project Server 2010.
I need to query Process Status from SQL.
where can I find Process Status in Database.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
you will not be able to find this information in reporting DB - the only database queries are supported.
If you really want to go for an unsupported solution, you should be able to find related tables and how to join them in stored proc "MSP_WEB_SP_QRY_Statusing_ReadStatus" in published database.

Barbara

Renaming Project Server 2010 database server

Hi all,
We have Project Server 2010 + SQL Server 2008 R2, but we need to upgrade DB to cluster SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition
SP1 CU7.
Is it ok if we rename Project Server DB server , for example from DBSER05 to DBSRVCL07\APPDB ?

As you planning to upgrade SQL server from 2008 r2 to sql server 2012 enterprise edition SP1 CU7.
In this case you have to create your farm from scratch. You have to Create your APP server and FE server all together from scratch and then you have to give your new DB server name DBSRVCL07\APPDB while creating farm.Once you run the configuration
wizard their you have to specify the NEW DB name DBSRVCL07\APPDB it will create Sharepoint config and content.
then you can restore your current project server DBs on new DB cluster server DBSRVCL07\APPDB and create project WEB APP where you can point restored project server DBs.
It means it would be all together back up and restore on new hardware.
i am just guessing if you think you will only upgrade Sql server, create cluster and rename proejct server DB server name in the existing farm that will not work.
Only approach is take back up and restore onto new infrastructure.
http://azlav.umtblog.com/2011/06/07/project-server-2010-database-restore-part-i/
if we rename Project Server DB server , for example from DBSER05 to DBSRVCL07\APPDB-- If you will only rename project
server DB server name then it wont work as project server also uses sharepoint config and content DB which are setting on old DB server name(we give db server name while running wizard) and it will throw errors.
