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: 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 PWA Provisioning Error - System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

    Hi,
    When migrating from a Prod Environment to a Test Environment using the Project Server 2010 5 Database backup and restore process (actually 6 DB's with the Project Sites DB), upon encountering a failure during provisioning the PWA Instance, we get the errors listed
    at the base of this posting in our Event Logs.
    To clarify what we have done already, we have:
    1. Backed up the 6 databases from the Source Environment.
    2. Removed the existing PWA_Content and PWS_Content (Project Sites) databases from the Target Environment Farm.
    3. Restored the 6 databases in the Target Environment.
    4. Given the SP Farm Service Account 'db_owner' rights to each of the 6 restored databases.
    5. Added the PWA_Content and PWS_Content databases  (exact same names) to the Target Environment.
    6. Locked down (offline/stopped), all of the SharePoint Content databases in the Farm except for the PWA_Content database.
    7. Run the PWA Provisioning process from the 'Project Server' SharePoint Service in Central Admin.
    It is during the PWA provisioning that we encounter these errors.
    As the Target Environment is for Test/Dev purposes, the SP Farm Service Account is setup to support all of the SharePoint Farm Services, is in the Local Admin Group of each of the Servers (App, WFE and DB), and is actually in the sysadmin
    role on the DB Server.
    Any suggestions on what is causing this denied access situation would be most appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Wayne

  • 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.

  • [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.

  • Project Server 2010 Active Directory Synchronization - duplicate Windows Name - Event ID 7734

    Environment: SharePoint Server 2010, Project Server 2010, SP2, DEC 2013 CU (Farm Build number: 14.0.7113.5001)
    Scenario: 
    Domain user has been added to the Active Directory group being synchronized with Project Server for the Team Members group.
    That user has participated as a team member in numerous projects, added documents, been assigned tasks, typical project stuff...
    Employee quits.
    AD account is deleted. (NOT deactivated or moved into another OU)
    Time passes...
    Employee gets rehired.  NEW AD account is set up: same display name, SamAccountName, email address, different GUID of course.
    Daily Active Directory job runs again and throws event ID 7734 and the sync ends with a partial fail.
    I understand why this is happening.  Solutions I've found point me to deleting the Enterprise Object resource in Project Server and then rerunning the sync.  Sure, this works BUT won't all of the previous documents, tasks,
    etc. be disassociated from that user?  If so, this is not ideal.
    2 questions:
    Is there a better way to deal with the fixing of the resource in Project Server to somehow link the old resource to the new resource allowing the sync to run successfully while still leaving the association to all old content intact?
    How are other organizations dealing with rehires when they have been added as resources in Project Server?  What is the best practice guidance from Microsoft on this?  Are other companies not actually deleting AD accounts when users leave organizations
    or are they putting them into a "ARCHIVE" OU or something like that? This happens at least half a dozen times a year at my company. We would like to keep our AD as clean as possible, but this appears to change our approach.
    Any suggestion/guidance is appreciated.

    For the question to relink the new account to the account which is already available in Project Server. You will have to update the WRES_AD_GUID to Null for the the Resource in MSP_RESOURCES table in the published database.
    Whenever a users gets synchronized to the PWA his ADGUID, SAMAccountName, Display Name, Email Address and DepartmentName is Synchronized from AD to Project Server. When the user was deleted and recreated the ADGUID got changed. During the next sync, project
    found the user with similar properties but different ADGUID which was updated in WRES_AD_GUID column in MSP_RESOURCES table. Hence it says that there is a duplicate account in the table with the same properties but a different ADGUID
    Nullifying the WRES_AD_GUID column value in MSP_RESOURCES table should get the user synchronized to Project server in the next sync.

  • Project Server 2010 - Assigned tasks not visible in PWA

    Hi,
    When I enter an issue on a project site, the assigned issue is not visible in the PWA under Issues & Risks.
    Based on this link (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f5abd024-3c9a-47f8-a7cb-7743fafebf2b/project-server-2010-cannot-see-assigned-issues-and-risks) I have tried to solve it however without success.
    In the queue jobs I have the following error details:

    As I understand this error could be due to a mismatch between the fields that are 'standard' in the project server and fields that are op the project site.
    If the reporting database could not sync, will consequently also the issues not be visible on the PWA??
    Any suggestions how to solve this?
    Regards,
    Dirk

    Hello,
    Yes, if the Issues & Risks are not being synchronised to the Reporting database then this will impact the issues & risks appearing on the PWA homepage reminders web part. See this post on how the data gets to the Reminders web part in Project
    Server 2010:
    http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/projectserver-active-issues-and-risks-on-pwa-reminders-web-part-ps2010-sp2010-sharepoint/
    The error you are seeing is probably caused by the default Issue or Risks columns being edited or removed from the Issues or Risks lists. It might be worth taking a look at this post:

  • Project Professional 2010 Not Publishing to Project Server 2010

    I am having trouble publishing a project from Project Professional 2010 to the Project Server 2010 (PWA). What I am trying to publish is a master project which is contains many enterprise projects as subprojects. When I press publish, it prompts me
    to save and if I click yes then it goes through and saves all the subporjects and then just stops there and doesn't publish the changes to the master project. If I press publish and click no to the save prompt then it gives me the status "sychronizing
    data to server" for around 15 seconds and then just does nothing after the sychonization finishes.
    It usually should be giving a "publishing job done 0%" or "publishing job completed" when it publishes, but it gives nothing like that. I also check the project through the PWA and it has not updated yet, but when I open it for editing in the client it has
    everything updated and up to date, meaning that the save is working properly and just not the publishing.
    All my subprojects are able to publish correctly, it's just this master project that is not working.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Is the publishing process timing out for some reason? Or is it something else?
    Please help.
    EDIT: The progress notification at the bottom of Project Professional just stops at "save completed sucessfully" whenever I try to publish

    To check the queue, navigate to Server Settings > Manage Queue and view the jobs that are present. If there is an error when publishing you should see it in the queue.

  • 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

  • Do I *really* need a Service Connection Point in AD to complete a Project Server 2010 SP2 installation?

    Hi all,
    I have installed Project Server 2010 SP2 and run psconfig.exe
    PSCONFIG is failing because it cannot set up a Service Connection Point in AD. I've checked in AD and the contains 'Microsoft SharePoint Products' does not exist. All the resolutions I can find suggest adding the container into AD.
    The issue I have is that I have no control of the AD, and adding containers will take lengthily negotiation.
    Is there any way of completing the installation and getting my site back without adding the container into AD?
    Thanks in advance.

    other solutions
    1) check timer service see if it is running

    Stop the "SharePoint 2010 Timer" service
    Delete ONLY the xml files from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\216f8013-b78b-4e5b-8631-3a5f4c7277e8
    Note: Do NOT delete the cache.ini file in this folder
    Edit cache.ini and change to "1"
    Start "SharePoint
    2010 Timer" service
    Run psconfig again:  PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
    6) Initially I tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272 but
    it did not help (I re-implemented later).
    I re-registered the DLL’s as perhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/da/winservergen/thread/b4bd0deb-45d0-4661-8c50-a2b45db41103 from
    NareshD.  I do not believe this is necessary unless there is a corruption in the system but I am noting here just
    in case.
    I tried to run The PSConfig but it was failing:  I
    had to do the following in order to make it finish successfully:
    (from same page at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/smallbusinessserver/thread/94a8bb64-e0ea-493f-8e29-01347b1fc6c7/)
    On the migrated SBS2011 PSCDiagnostic Log I found no entry to detect or start the services SPWriterServiceInstance and SPTimerServiceInstance.
    I run once again the command „PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent
    -install -cmd installfeatures“ in the “Bin” Folder as an administrator console session.
    In
    the moment I saw the status “Configuration task 5 of 6 is executed” I
    start to run the command “net start SPTraceV4 & net start SPWriterV4 & net start SPAdminV4 & net start SPSearch4 & net start SPTimerV4” in a
    parallel administrator console session and after that, the configuration task finished successfully.  (I
    just opened another cmd window and copy/paste the sequence below when I saw the status “Configuration Task x of y” on the screen:
    net start SPTraceV4 
    net start SPWriterV4 
    net start SPAdminV4 
    net start SPSearch4 
    net start SPTimerV4
    -Note SPSearch4 is disabled in our system…
    Very awkward but it worked…
    I implemented http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272 again.
    Backup started working with no errors.

  • 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 - Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization limitations

    Greetings again.
    I have a quick question about the limitations of Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization.  Specifically, what has your experience
    been with extremely large numbers of users (10k plus).  Is anyone aware of a
    practical limit of users in your AD group you would recommend when using the
    Schedule Synchronization feature on a nightly or weekly basis?
    There is a caveat to this question however.  The client has decided (perhaps for some misinformed reasons) to allow access for every user, to every
    project site, within their PWA environment.  They’ve selected the View Project Site option within the
    Categories for the Team Members PWA Group for which 90% of their intended users reside.  So when we ran a couple test syncs in DEV with a smaller AD group of about 8,000 users, the sync understandably
    lasted upwards of 18 hours.  Obviously unacceptable for a PROD environment on a nightly basis and not necessarily ideal for a weekly sync either.
    Experience in addition to documents like these, “Best
    practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010” tell me that we are way over the practical limit of a scheduled resource pool synchronization...IF
    the client really desires that all users access all their sites.  But before I submit my recommendations, I wanted to check with the community just in case others may have found a way to synchronize large numbers of users (10k plus) on a nightly or weekly
    basis, within a reasonable time frame AND allowed all users to access all sites within PWA.
    What do you think?
    As always, thanks for your help.

    Hello Hrishi.
    My delayed response has been due to a large amount of testing we have been performing on this particular topic.  Here is an update, please feel free to provide feedback.
    We went back to testing and spent more time reviewing the documents: 
    Best practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010 and
    SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits.  Our team interpreted those documents as saying, 1,000 security
    scopes per site is a recommended limit.  It does not say it’s a hard limit, just a recommended limit.  “When the recommended unique security scope boundaries are exceeded, performance issue can occur.”
    So we decided to perform some tests (31 in total) to try and get a gage of what we are seeing.
    We needed to establish a baseline first.  So we performed a series of 23 Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations with various settings in a clean, Out of the Box, environment in order to see some consistent numbers.  Here is it’s summary:
    Our AD group of 8,000 users took about 32 minutes, on average, every time to sync.  The difference between the first sync and last sync differed only by 1-3 minutes.
    Adding 40 project sites increased the average sync time from 32 to 120 minutes.
    Adding 100 users to each of those 40 project sites, did not increase the sync times.
    One setting (identified at this time) reduced the synchronization time.  It was the
    Project Site Permissions check box found within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Site Provisioning Settings area.  By deselecting this check box we reduced or synchronization time back to the 32 minute
    average.
    The View Project Site check box within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Manage Groups > Team Members group had no apparent effect on the sync times besides what we had gleaned from the Microsoft documentation.
    Naturally, this left us with a problem.  As I’m sure you know, by deselecting the check box (Project Site Permissions), our project sites are now (figuratively speaking) orphans with no connection to the parent site.  This generates
    a new set of issues.  For example:
    Newly created project sites cannot be accessed by the owner and team members.  They will require someone like the farm admin to come in behind them and add the intended users to the project site along with their required permissions.
    All current and futures sites will no longer have users added via the standard method of building a team and publishing the project, but will have to be added manually.
    You can use the Synchronize option found within Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Sites page, but that kinda defeats the purpose.  It would require constant updating on a per site basis to keep up with
    PM changes.  Not very sensible, but it does work.
    With this baseline information, we moved our tests into our DEV environment which somewhat mimics our PROD environment.  This environment has 352 project sites and we performed 8 tests.  This is where we had some large sync time numbers. 
    Here is the DEV test summary:
    With the Project Site Permissions check box cleared, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 30 minutes to sync.  This was in line with our baseline times.  With the exception of one test sync that took 99 minutes to complete. 
    That anomaly is acquiescent with what I’ve seen over the years.  Sometimes syncs do some unusual things.
    With the Project Site Permissions check box selected, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 690 minutes (11.5 hours) to sync.  Unacceptable of course.
    So here’s what we’ve learned when dealing with extremely large numbers of active directory users in your Resource Pool sync:
    We did not see a decrease in subsequent sync times after the initial Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronization as some might expect.
    Our attempt to decrease sync time via the option of removing the View Project Sites was not successful.  (Unless we interpreted Microsoft's document incorrectly.)
    However, our interpretation of the recommended software boundaries and limits of SharePoint Server 2010 as it pertains to security scopes per site at 1,000, appears to be correct.
    Using the option of clearing the Project Site Permissions does produce a reduction in AD sync time, but at a cost segregating your project sites and thus the creation of new processes of maintaining them.
    I’ll remind others that these results are particular to our environments, there may still be exceptions yet to discover.  Others may see numbers contrary to ours.
    The biggest surprise to some members on our team (myself excluded) was that we did not see a reduced sync time after any of our initial syncs.  Some are under the impression that after your initial sync, you should see reduced sync times.  I haven’t
    found that to be the absolute case in all situations, just in some situations.  The reason for this still eludes me.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    I’ll let this sit a bit longer, but if no one disagrees with the results, I think we have our answer:
    The number of project sites directly affects your Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations if you are using the
    Project Site Permissions option.  If you plan on synchronizing over 1,000 users
    and you have a large number of project sites, proceed with the knowledge that you may have performance issues and long sync times.
    As always, I’d love to hear from you or others just in case I’m missing something.
