Project Server 2010 - M(one to another)

Hi,
Can anyone send me the steps for migrating project server 2010 from one server to other server?
Also please let me know some of the known issues during migration.

Hi,
Since I'm not a DBA, I'm not going into much technical details, but this is quite a common backup/restore procedure which is well documented.
Please find a few links as reference:

  • Project Server 2010 - Change Status Manager

    End Goal: We would like to perform this change via SQL statement - which I believe I have  I feel like I am missing something and not sure what it is.
    Background:  We migrated from a different product to Project Server 2010, while our team members were assisting users to move their projects from the old application to Project 2010 they did not realize their names would appear as status
    managers.
    The quick solution would be to tell the owners of the projects to change the information themselves (republish or go in themselves and change every line); however we feel this can be cumbersome and too much work due to having hundreds of projects and there
    are thousands of fields that need to be modified.  I can quickly accomplish what I want with an UPDATE command and be done with it (no user involvement). 
    What I am running into in my test environment is that I can modify the fields (query below) to the appropriate status manager, but I cannot get the changes to appear in Project Professional - it still shows the old value.
    I have used the following command to change the Status Manager to the Project Owner (I'm new to SQL, and we no longer have a DBA - so if my code isnt the greatest...I'll fix it)
    USE ProjectServer_ReportingUPDATE MSP_EpmTaskSET TaskStatusManagerUID = MSP_EpmProject.ProjectOwnerResourceUIDFROM MSP_EpmProjectWHERE MSP_EpmTask.ProjectUID = MSP_EpmProject.ProjectUID
    This modifies all the values correctly - Project Owners become the Status Manager in SQL
    Question: Is there something I am missing or can do OR I am not doing to make this new value show up? Is there a better way to do this from an administrative point of view, with no customer/user interaction?
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Thank You
    kbwrecker

    Merely my personal opinion having been a Project Server 2010 admin in a medium-sized corporation:
    I think you are going to seriously do some damage if you go about trying to modify SQL tables behind Project Server's back. There are a LOT of operations that go into a simple "publish" and I doubt that the minor changes you want to make will account for
    all of them. Are you confident you're adjusting all of the values necessary? You may have a detrimental impact on in-flight approvals, timesheets, projects, tasks, assignments.. There is just far too much IMO.
    Believe me, I know it is not an ideal solution to have the business make their own adjustments. However sometimes it is just what has to be done. My vote is to craft brief instructions and send them out to the PMs. It's easy to do, they can change one row
    and then drag the field down like in Excel to edit all the rest; it's a 1-minute operation, max.
    Due to the nature of the field, (not being something you can edit via PWA, and even in Project Pro it only allows you to change it to yourself or another current Status Mgr) I think you'll have a hard time scripting this one via macro etc.. However if you
    do find a way, seriously keep in mind your scope and don't edit them all at once, it will need to kick off publishes and check-ins for all the affected projects.
    Good luck!

  • 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 define a unique project level custom field in project server 2010?

    Hi every one;
    is it possible to define a unique project level custom field?
    our client wants to have a unique custom field( project code) which doesn't allow users to save and publish projects with the same value.
    for example if user A define a project and set "project code = 1" if user B define another project and wants to save "project code =1" for it, the server doesn't allow him to save this value and he has to change value for example to 2
    thanks for any help

    First of all you need to have Project server development environment also for coding visual studio hands on is required.
    To start with PSI (Project Server interface)you need to have Development Environment of Project Server 2010.
    you can get the overview from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms457477(v=office.14).asp

  • Project Server 2010 Site Template Update

    Hi,
    I have a Project Server 2010 environment in which there are several site templates created and there are about 500 projects.
    Now, I have the requirement of changing some templates (add a list, some fields in a existing Risks and Issues lists, etc.)
    How Can I update current template?
    If I update current template, Will the sites created be updated with the new lists and fields? Or Should I do these additions by hand?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Another related question,
    We have created custom Web Template by saving as a template one site. Later we have created 20 sites using that Web Template. And now we want to update this template to "Site Template v2". We create other Web Template and now we have two
    "Site Template v1" and "Site Template v2". Should we remove "Site Template v1" from Solutions Gallery? Or it is neccesary while exists sites created with version 1?

  • Error when navigating to the PWA root site for Project Server 2010

    I received a nice Happy New Year from my Project Server 2010 today. I tried to navigate to the root site and received the following error.
    Error
    The base type 'Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.PJBaseWebPartPage' is not allowed for this page. The type is

    I did some searching and found that it could be one of 2 things
    1.      
    App Pool security
    2.      
    Custom Master page.
    All the sub-sites seem to work fine, so I went with option 2. I changed the Master page of the root site back to v4.master and everything works fine again.
    So far the only solution I found to allow for using a Custom master page is to modify the web.config as suggested here:
    http://jimecox.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/project-server-2010-changing-master-page/
    My custom master was working fine for the past 6 months, so I’m not sure why I need to make this new update.
    Anyone else run into this recently with another fix? The changes seem to be opening the security on the Project web app a bit or am I wrong?
    Thank you in Advance!

    Looks like I fixed this by changing the Master page back to the OOTB version v4.master here:
    https://<pwa url>/_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
    Then I navigated to the PWA root site.
    https://<pwa url>/default.aspx
    Finally changed the master page back to my custom one. Error gone!

  • 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.

  • Project Server 2010 - Applying CUs after SP2?

    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
    Brian Smith and
    Stefan Goßner.
    I hope this helps.

  • Project server 2010 don't respect the 'Choose an account' option

    We have in our company Project Server 2010.
    We use to create the 2 URLs accounts for all users through the Create Accounts and choose the 'Choose an account' option so the users can select weather to work offline ("Computer") or from one of the URLs.
    We encountered two cases already, that the Project Pro don't respect the
    'Choose an account' option -
    Every time we select the 'Choose an account' radio botton and close the Project Pro it automatically open the default account without showing the accounts window  and switches back to 'Use my default account'.
    If these 2 users interested in working offline they have to swich it manually only after the default account opens but they cannot open the second URL.
    Does anyone know of such a case and is there a workaround to solve it?

    Hi Maya,<o:p></o:p>
    Do you see this behavior on multiple machines or single machine?<o:p></o:p>
    Try removing the accounts and recreating it again with "Choose an account" option and check if that helps<o:p></o:p>

  • 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.

    Hi,
    From error log it seems you have some custom or thrid party web part activated in your application and that web part is not able to load which might causing those pages to get corrupt.
    As a fix can suggest you below to two thing to check
    1) Remove that "FirePoint.SharePoint.RssViewerWebPart" from your environment and try to access those PWA pages again.
    2) Even after removing above web-part solution does not fix this issue, as it is quality env can you try to disconnect and reconnect the share-point farm . Then try to access those pages again.
    Share us the latest update and your finding on this issue.

  • Project Server 2010 export to Excel 2007 fails

    I keep getting the following error when I try to export Resource Availability to Excel.  I am using Project Server 2010, Excel 2007, IE8, Windows 7.  I have PS set as a intranet site with low security set.  Coworkers with the same setup are
    not having this issue.  I have tried exporting to Excel with Excel open, Excel closed, on a hardwire network connection, on wireless network connection, on my corporate VPN and not on my corporate VPN. 
    Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file "URL here" for the possible reasons:
    -The file name or path does not exist.
    -The file is being used by another program
    -The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open worklbook.
    Please provide suggestions on what to try differently to make the export work.  I have tried downloaded other version of IE and have the same issue.

    Hi Julia,
    since nobody jumped in, I'll give a try!
    Have you tried to reinstall Excel or at least repair it?
    Hope this helps,
