Project server 2010: job stuck in queue with state Waiting to be Processed (Sleeping)

Hi,
I have a job in the queue that is stuck. The job type is "TimeSheet Update Resource" and the job state is "Waiting to be processed (Sleeping)". This is happening with only one user. Other users can edit, save, and submit timesheets normally as it appears.
Can't figure out the problem! I tried restarting the queue and timer service with no success. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
George

Since you already identified issue is user specific, I think now you need to have a look in to ULS log to undestand really whats happening in the background.
Try editing the user from PWA>>>Server Settings>>Manager users
Click on the user and without making any change click on save, monitor the queue

Project Server 2010 Jobs All 'Waiting To Be Processed'

Hello,
We have installed Project Server 2010 for evaluation and are running into an issue when creating new projects in the Project Center. The installation included SharePoint 2010 and is a single-machine install (i.e. DB and WFE on same machine).
We can access the site without any problem and when accessing the Project Center and electing to create a new project from Basic Project Plan template, the interface processes the request and then informs us that the request was taking a long time to process
and to check the Manage Queue Jobs interface for status.
Reviewing the queued jobs reveals four queued tasks for Project Create, Project Publish Notifications, Project Publish and Start Workflow, all with a Job State of 'Waiting To Be Processed'. When we originally ran into this issue, we realized that the
User Profile Synchronization Service was configured to run with the Network Service account and that the two relevant ForeFront Identity Manager services were not running. We had read that this may cause the queue to not process requests, so we reconfigured
the system to use a domain account and started the User Profile Synchronization Service Application (which in turn started the ForeFront Identify Manager services).
However, this did not help and the jobs (as well as new jobs) are still waiting to be processed. We don't see any errors listed in the queue and can't really find relevant errors in the SharePoint logs or event viewer.
Has anyone else run into this problem who can provide some insight? Thanks.
John

Another thing to check John, and you may well find evidence in the ULS logs, is that the queue service is really running. Just looking in Services isn't enough. When the queue service starts it will check for the presence of PWA sites within
each and every (probably just one) Project Service Application you have running. It will then spawn an extra process for each Service Application it finds that has one or more PWA instances. So you should always see at least two Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Queuing.exe
processes running within Task Manager -and if you just see one the looking in the ULS logs should give an indication why it didn't start up (re-starting will give you a fresh entry in the log - which will be easier than searching through lots of logs.
Best regards,
Brian.

[Project Server 2010] Maximum Number of Job processor Threads in the queue settings

Hello,
I have a farm with SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 installed. The farm contains:
2 web front end servers
3 application servers
Each servers has 4 processors
The SQL databases are installed on our database servers.
The Microsoft Project Server Queue Service 2010 is started on the 2 web front end servers and on 1 applicative server.
We have two instances of PWA are installed on this farm.
I have calculated that the number of availabe processors we could have on this farm is : 4 processors X 3 application servers (the ones where the project queue is started) = 12. Is that correct? I'm not sure of the definition of the applicaton
server that is used in
this article )
If I set the Maximum Number of Job Processor Threads (in the queue setting) to 2 per queue and per instance. We could have 2 Job processor X 3 application servers X 2 pwa instance = 12 threads to operate at the same time, is it correct?
If yes, do you think this is a too high number of threads?
Thanks for your help
Aline

Hi Aline,
These settings are for fine tuning the servers, and are only one of many performance parameters. If you notice the response from the server is slow, regarding Queues, then I would think about amending these upwards, but also with a careful eye on processor
utilisation. If you up the thread count and the system isn't any more performant, then I would look elsewhere for perf improvements. Before you do anything of course, baseline the performance of the system.

Project Server 2010 - Manage Queue anomalies

Morning All,
I'm currently experiencing an odd situation with the Manage Queue function in our Project Server. For the entire year I've been using PS the Manage Queue has never consisted of much more than a couple of projects awaiting check-in.
I logged on last week and saw that timesheets are now in the queue. This is particularly odd as we don't use timesheets so I'm unsure why these are now showing in the queue.
The screen shows the following:
Queue Type = timesheet
Entry Time = 1am
Complete Time = blank
Project Name = N/A
Job Type = either Archive Custom Fields, Archive System Settings or Archive Resources
Job State = waiting to be processed
Percentage Complete = 0%
Owner = SVC_SPFarmadmin
This week it's also trying to archive projects. Everything is as above except Project Name isn't blank and Job Type says Archive Project.
I'm the administrator for PS and (as far as I know) I've not made any changes that would cause these to now be queueing.
I was wondering if anyone might know why this is happening, if it will cause any major problems and if there's a way to stop this occuring. Everyone here is as confused as I am as to what's going on.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Clair.

This issue might need detailed troubleshooting, I would suggest you raise a support case with Microsoft.

Problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field

hello
I have a problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field.
Within a file or project, this project contains tasks.
Each task has completed the field% deviation.
Within the row "Summary" in the field of% deviation does not perform the sum of all fields of tasks.
Only occurs on certain projects, these projects have the view of PR Progress Report
Anyone know happens?
thank you very much

Hi
Sorry, I'll be more specific now.
Within the field% deviation. Your settings in PWA is:
The formula for field% Deviation:
Str (IIf ([Job baseline] = 0; IIf ([Working] = 0, 0, 100); IIf ([Working] = 0; -100; Int (100 * ([Job] - [Work Online base]) / [Working baseline])))) + "%"
Under the heading rows Calculation Summary:
> Use formula.
Within the field Allocation Calculation of rows:
> It is labeled the "Apply unless you manually specify".
The field [Job] and field [Job baseline] are fields Pack project server.
The error is in project, in the list of tasks.
In the top row, this row summary makes the sum of the ranks of the tasks of the file.
But in my case only in the summary field the same value appears in the tasks.
In all the cells in column% deviation appears the same value.
I hope it helps.
thank you very much

Project Server 2010 Web services access with Client Certificate Authentication

We switched our SharePoint/Project Server 2010 farm to use client certificate authentication with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0, which is working without issue. We have some administrative Project Server Interface (PSI)
web service applications that no longer connect to server with the new authentication configuration. Our custom applications are using the WCF interface to access the public web services.
Please let us know if it is possible to authenticate with AD FS 2.0 and then call
Project Server web services. Any help or coding examples would be greatly appreciated.

what is the error occurred when the custom PSI app connects?
can you upload the ULS logs here for research?
What is the user account format you specified in the code for authentication?
For proper authorization, the “user logon account” in PWA for the user needs to be changed from domain\username to the claims token (e.g.
'I:0#.w|mybusinessdomain\ewmccarty').
It requires you to manually call the UpnLogon method of
“Claims to Windows Token Service”. if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
{ var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity; }
if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
Than you need to extract UPN-Claim from the identity.
Upload the verbose log if possible.
Did you see this?

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.

Project Server 2010 compatibility with IE11 and Windows 8.1

Hi All!
Maybe a silly question since compatibility is always asked about older versions, but here is my question:
Is Project Server 2010 compatible with IE11 and Windows 8.1?
I personnaly tested with IE11 and it seems to be ok. All views and pages can be opened with IE11.
But what about windows 8.1?
Has Microsoft done any communication about this?
Thanks in advance for your helps.

I am seeing a minor issue with the timesheet grid after users are upgraded from IE8 to IE11.
We are using Project Server 2010 with SP1 and Oct 2013 CU.
When some users (using IE11) switches between filters or views in the Timesheet page, the grid shrinks making to content un readable. The only way to get it back is to refresh the page. After a refresh, the grid returns to normal size, but the pane
divider is too far to the left and always must be dragged to the right in order to see the task names in the left grid.

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.

Any Problem Running Office 2010 SP2 with Project Server 2010 SP1?

We are running Project Server 2010 SP1 April 2013 CU and the desktop clients have now been upgraded to SP2 October 13 CU. We are having issues with projects in local cache showing as checked out when they are not actually checked out on the server. I was
wondering if it is problematic to run the desktop client on a newer service pack than the server and if it could cause this type of issue?

Hello, Aaron.
The answer is YES, you'll probably have some issues.
I would recommend:
Downgrade clients to match Server's version
Upgrade Server to SP2+October '13 CU
And my preferred:
Upgrade Server and clients to SP2 + '14 April CU

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.

Project Server 2010 - Issue with correct recording of timesheet actual hours with decimals

We have Project Server 2010 and are using the timesheet functionality for recording resource times/costs in the schedules.
It has come to light only recently, that for one user, suddenly the times she is entering are not being summed up correctly. An image of her timesheet and the manage timesheet screens are shown below. Note she entered 9.5 hrs but the total that
appears in the manage timesheet screen is 9.514hrs.
If you look at the history of the previous weeks as well, the weird change toi the total hours has occurred in the previous 4 weeks as well. I have no idea why this has started happening and am not aware of any change to the resource's details (apart
from a change to her hourly rate).
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks
Peter

We have this issue and are past the patch that discussed decimal rounding (April 2014, though it was more related to the application of resource rates). This seems different from that noted rounding problem.
We have at least three users (out of 625) that have this problem every week and it isn't always the same users. If we re-enter the time and zero fill the cells for the problem task it will fix it.
It is almost like when a user deletes a value that it is leaving residual numbers in the field.
Our 2010 server version below which is through Sept 2014 CU:
14.0.7132.5000
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
