[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 - large number of security categories

I am searching for somebody who has experiance with a large number of security categories.
I am talking about a number of 1000 different PS security categories in one instance.
Beside the forseeable usability issues, are there any technical side effects which could appear?
Thanks in advance for your feedback

Hi,
thanks for your reply, specially for the technical remark what I was looking for.
Ofcause we have investigeted in all other options (RBS, ProjectsPermissions, simplify the security concept, discussed the requirements and discussed the process, trainings, departments).
Finally we have for this customer the challange to have multiple roles in multiple projects. But with the restriction not to add some permissions based on the different roles and the Project Server Standard security options.
One example: We have a user which has two roles (commercial manager and team member). The role can only be assigned to the projects team because all other options are not possible (owner, status manager and all RBS options). This user must act in the first
project as a commercial manager with more rights then when he is assigned in a second project only as a team member. No greyzone is allowed.
The final analyses for this requirement was (and I dont beleive there is an other possible way):
Define for each commercial manager a own security category and list the projects where he can act as a commercial manager.
Remember: All other ProjectServer security possibilities are impossible ( in our point of view).

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.

How to enable Portfolio Analysis Feature for Project Server 2010?

Hi,
We have a Project Server 2010 instance. We now want to Use the Portfolio Analysis on our server. How can we enable the feature on our existing environment without disturbing any current feature that we have ?
If someone can provide with the detailed steps for the configuration process that will be helpful.
Thanks

Hi ,
The portfolio feature is part of the out of the boxProject Server 2010 solution. Maybe you just have to unhide the links in the quick launch menu. It will not disturb any of your current configuration.
Please find here a couple of links:

Project Server 2010 - Import Project Wizard - Local Resource Import Error

Using Project Server 2010 SP2 with admin rights when I encountered the following error:
Steps:
Upon importing a local mpp file with Import Projects Wizard
Mapped Resources. Some were mapped to enterprise resources and others were left as local.
Following completion of import process (mapped task fields, and save), the resources that were marked as "keep as local" were imported to the server as enterprise resources.
I have never encountered this issue with previous versions of project server and am wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue and if there is a patch? The error is consistently repeatable and I will check utilizing the account
of someone without admin rights to see if it happens there as well.
It appears that in proceeding to validation step, the import field is automatically defaulted to Yes when proceeding to step 2. If the user doesn't manually flag this back to No, then the resource is imported to project server.

Hi Luis,
I just ran a quick test and I couldn't reproduce your issue with PS2010 SP2. My local resources have been kept as local resources after the import process whereas the resources with a similar name than enterprise resources have been mapped with enterprise
resources.
Not sure which CU I have but I'd suggest you to upgrade to the
latest CU.
Hope this helps,

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
not registered as safe.

Correlation ID: b1898d3e-5d41-4ed4-9466-1d7775714293
Date and Time: 1/3/2012 10:54:53 AM
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 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 What are the number of Custom fields and views allowed?

How many customizations are permitted in Project Server 2010?
Thanks in advance

Hi
new findings on that issue...
There is an article for Project Online that speaks about limits for reporting: https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Project-Online-software-boundaries-and-limits-5a09dbce-1e68-4a7b-b099-d5f1b21ba489?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Apart from that you will have an issue if you like to upgrade to Project Server 2013. When trying to convert the 2010 databases to a 2013 database a SQL stored procedure will fail if you have more custom fields than fit into the UserViews.
Error message will be something like this:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): INIT METADATA ERROR! At least one mismatch found between SQL schema for view MSP_EpmProject_UserView and reporting metadata. Call to MSP_Epm_CheckIntrinsicAttributes failed for Projects INIT

Workaround for the issue (UNSUPPORTED !!!!!!)
Execute the Convertto-SPProjectDatabase script. Now you need to be fast or well prepared. You need to find the MSP_Epm_CheckIntrinsicAttributes stored procedure. Execute an ALTER statement for it and change the last lines of code to something like this:
LblError:
   PRINT @ErrorMessage
--changed RETURN code if an error occurs to be able to proceed with migration
--RETURN 1
   RETURN 0
END
I hope that helps someone out there - when I came across the issue last night, a google query returned nothing for INIT METADATA ERROR....

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.

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 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

I would also use PowerShell cmdlets and see if it finds any issues, such as Test-SPContentDatase.. Validate the SharePoint content databases, because if not setup properly the Provisioning will fail.
Also check these properties.
$web=get-spweb http://prodproj01/pwa
$Web.AllProperties[“PWAURL”] ### see what the value is.. you may have to blank it out, specially if it is pointing to a different URL
Here is how to fix.

Project Server 2010 - Error Adding/Modifying Users

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. We are running Project Server 2010 with SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008. Project Server was installed successfully and a new site was created (server.com/pwa). When I attempt to add a new user (via Server
Settings), or modify the existing account that was added on install, I receive an error on the top of the page. For a new user the following appears:
0de01bb7-786e-4003-8fe8-6790fae42248 -1 2 false true 3 0 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 false false 0de01bb7-786e-4003-8fe8-6790fae42248 true false
Once the new user info is entered, and I click "Save", the progress icon spins and nothing happens. No user is added.
When I go to modify the existing user, I see this on the top of the page:
•An error was encountered in loading the page. Refresh the page, or contact your server administrator if this problem persists.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!

Much appreciated kbwrecker. Moving forward, I am developing a plan to deploy SharePoint/Project Server 2013. So this will hopefully, if done right, alleviate these types of issues.
But, as the 2010 system will be in use for awhile, I am still curious as to what is causing my current PWA issues. I also believe it is a permission issue. The errors I added to my first post on this topic were not from the logs. They only
appear on the user/group webpage in PWA. I don't see them elsewhere.
Here are the complete ULS logs (using ULS Viewer) from my PWA add user attempt. This is very long. I apologize if this is more than is needed:

Project Server 2010: PWA Removing Default Project Site Security Groups When Creating a New Project

I looked for this specific issue with Project Server 2010/PWA/SharePoint and could not find an exact answer... hopefully someone can help.
We are currently using Project Server 2010 and have a number of project site templates that are used dependent upon the enterprise project type selected. Each of these project site templates have unique permissions which should create the default security
groups on the project site upon publishing/syncing:
<Project Name> Members
<Project Name> Owners
<Project Name> Visitors
<Project Name> Project Managers (Project Web App Synchronized)
<Project Name> Team Members (Project Web App Synchronized)
Web Administrators (Project Web App Synchronized)
Whether a user creates a project through PWA or Project Pro 2010 and imports the project into PWA, we get a weird result in the Site Permissions of the newly created project site. PWA will remove all default security groups from the project site template
and add a whole list of users in the Site Permissions list without groups.
Once the project is published and the project site is created, we can then go back and add those default security groups back in the project Site Permissions and even add a couple of custom groups without them being removed on all subsequent project syncs
or publishing.
How do we get PWA to not overwrite the project site templates' security groups and place each user in the proper default security groups? At the same time, how is PWA adding a number of users into the Project Site Permissions?
Thanks in advance.

Paul,
Thanks for that information. Right now we are using the Test environment to turn the Auto-sync feature back on. I suspect that the reason this is happening is due to PWA groups/categories/security templates. There may be more than one PWA group that is "overwriting"
the default project site groups upon initial creation of the project. We will look further into the security settings to tighten up the policies.

Error Message while Approving Tasks in Project Server 2010

Hi All,
While performing Tasks approvals in MS Project 2010 I am getting below error message:
An Error Occured while processing one or more items. This was caused by one of the following:
A timesheet job is failed and blocking coorelation in the queue.
The approval item no longer exists or has already been approved

Background:
We are gearing up to upgrade our Project Server from 2003 to 2010; as part of this process we have installed MS Project Server 2010 on our dev environment. We created Test Project plans and assigned ourselves (we admins) to these plans and all of us have
admin privileges.

Hi, Can you give a bit more detail on how your generating the task approval. Are you going into myTasks and doing self assignment to your test project plans or are you generating these approvals via outlook or are you updating a timesheet and sending status?
If you're using your timesheet have you created all your timesheet periods within server settings, time and task management...Donald R. Landry
