Project Server 2010 Migration

Hi
Just for my information, I wanted to know, if any one can provide me (best) procedures to follow regarding PWA 2010 instances migration from test server to new server with workspaces as well.
I am preparing for a (major) migration. So please, if you can give me links on web or to some posts by EPM leadears, it will be very helpful for me.
Thanks.

Hi Manish,
The Project Detail Pages (PDPs) are stored in the Content DB. Did you restored the content database too?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/epmcontent/archive/2010/06/10/restoring-or-migrating-project-web-app-2010-instances.aspx
If you have restored the content database but getting the error, Here is the code which might help you.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2010/05/18/project-server-2010-my-pwa-site-thinks-it-is-a-workspace-site-revisited.aspx
Web properties may be pointing to old URL, so read the Web properties to get the PWA URL & verify
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("hhtp://servername/pwa"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
String sPWAURL = web.AllProperties["PWAURL"].ToString();
String sMsPWAPROJUID = web.AllProperties["MSPWAPROJUID"].ToString();
Once you know that migrated instance is pointing to the source PWA url, you can update using the console application:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servername/pwa”))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
web.AllProperties["PWAURL"]="";
web.AllProperties["MSPWAPROJUID"]="";
web.Update();
To fix it from powershell:

Hope that helps.

Bulk Project Site option isn't working in project server 2010 migrated from PS 2007.

Hi,
I am doing a test migration from epm 2007 to epm 2013.
So first, i need to migrate the project server 2007 to project server 2010. i have 2 separate environments for EPM 2007 and EPM 2010).
there is no problem in migration process and i successfully migrate entire PWA 2007 to 2010, except Workspaces (Project sites).
Bulk project site option is not helping. I have tried 4-5 times with different PWA 2007 databases (PWA1, PWA2...) but this option did not work. and errors in queue are WSSWebDoesNotExist(16405) and GeneralQueueJobFailed(26000).
Then next time while migrating all over again i kept the same port and same PWA name then bulk project site option worked.
Question is, Do i need to keep the same PWA name and same port for the new upgraded PWA??, one more issue regarding this is that if don't keep the same PWA name and i open the project site and click on the "Project web app" back link, it
redirects me to old PWA site which doesn't exist and give me page not found error (Obviously).
Below, you can see the both scenarios.
my previous PWA 2007 site, say - http://epm2007:2222/PWA
When - migrated PWA 2010 site, say - http://epm2010:3000/NewPWA (Bulk project site update just doesn't work)
When - migrated PWA 2010 site, say - http://epm2010:2222/PWA (Bulk project site update worked)
Whats the solution of this problem. is there any utility or query to link all project sites correctly?
Will i face the same problem while migrating PS 2010 to PS 2013??
Thank you.
sandeep

Hi,
I would say it is easier to keep the same PWA name between 2007 and 2010 (no need to have the same port).
If you want to move to a new PWA URL maybe you can use stsadm backup/restore as detailed in this article?

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 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 decided to run the below command and I received a lot of errors about missing workspace. Please help if anyone can.

All,
Bulk update and post up gradation tasks was completed at time of migration.
I did notice that when opening Project Professional 2013 and unselecting
Load Resource Assignments, everything opens and runs as it should. Not sure why ? So I think for now, I'll run Project Professional 2013 without Load Resource Assignments until I find a fix.
As for (The following projects are missing the workspace webs) error, still getting them.
Thanks all for the Quick Reply's.

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.

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....

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
http://www.jonthenerd.com/2011/06/30/sharepoint-2010-sp1-upgrade-error-unable-to-create-a-service-connection-point-in-the-current-active-directory-domain/
2) check UAC (and the rest of the technet answers - some are listed below)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/94a8bb64-e0ea-493f-8e29-01347b1fc6c7/psconfig-fails-failed-to-upgrade-sharepoint-products
3) My workaround: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 staus “Configurationtask 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.

4) Try running the psconfig.exe command a second time
5) had the same issue and called Microsoft support. Here is the fix:
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.

Note: When I look at the drop downlist for the Group on the View Ribbon, [No Group] appears in the Built-in section of the list. It also appears on the Organizer.

I have seen this error message several times when the project got corrupted due to drops in my network connection while the enterprise project was open. If memory serves me correctly, the method for resolving this problem is to use the Save For
Sharing feature. To do this, complete the following steps:
Add the Save for Sharing button to your Quick Access Toolbar, if you have not already done so previously. Use the Project Options dialog for this.
Open the project in question and click the Save for Sharing button.
In the Save for Sharing dialog, save the MPP file in a location where you can find it easily, such as your Desktop.
Close the MPP file and then reopen it.
Click File > Save As and then click the Save button.
Using this process, Microsoft Project will resolve the corruption in your project. Please let us know if this process works for you.

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.

Project Server 2010 - Modification date and name of the person who made the last change in the project

Hello everybody
I'm with a doubt.
I got in the business
environment Project Server 2010 and
would like to get the publication date,modification
date and name
of the person who made
the last change in
the project. It is possible
to doby the native
resources or is
there any query in
SQL Server to perform a
query of this information.
Thank you.
Obrigado por contactar o fórum Microsoft Technet!

Hi Hezequias,
You can get the ProjectModifiedDate column in MSP_EPMProject_userView in the Reporting DB where you can
get the data based on the projectUID.
The "last saved" date in the draft DB (be aware that querying in the draft DB is not supported by MS).
For the "last modified by", I think it is not stored in any place.
But you can develop custom code upon publishing the project (Event BeforePublish), writing the current
date and username automatically into a custom enterprise field.
Hope this helps,

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 !

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.
