Project Server 2010 Reporting database corrupt after Administrative restore of Enterprise Lookup Tables
Hi Guys
Prosperous 2014 to all . I am stuck with a Huge issue that I am unable to resolve. I did a PWA Administrative restore the other day to try to recover some fields that was deleted.
After the restore I got a queue error and since then my reporting database is screwed up. I tried to re-save the lookup tables, fields and views to no avail.
None of my reports are working and every time I publish I get a reporting queue error on the projects.
Your urgent help to sort this issue out will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Willem
Hello,
What was the queue error? Have you tried the restore of custom fields again?

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.

Hey Everyone,
Running Project Server 2010 Server w/ SQL Server 2008 R2 back end
Sometime after 5:30 pm Friday , our main PWA site url which is
http://servername/PWA now contains the below mess of characters and text... seems the default.aspx file located in
\\servername/PWA share got corrupted, messed with? ANY ideas how to fix this? or how why this happened. really need a fix...... Thanks
Jack Galante Sr Systems EngineerJack,
Are you the Project Server Administrator?Does this happen for all users or just one? If just one, please see if the users system is the issue.
If it is all users, then Do you know if anybody else with approproate permissions added any custom code?
I am not really sure of the issue here. Here are a few things you could try:
1) Reboot all the servers
2) Restart the Project Server related services like Events Service and Queue Service
3) Navigate to Central Admin, and see if you restart the Project Application Service.
If none of the above work, then I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support before making any further changes.

Project Server 2010 report issue
Hi all,
I am having a problem where our users are only able to produce a summary report. Upon printing a report we are usually presented with a menu with many options prior to printing.
The farm is fully up to date and no changes have been made administratively. I have searched around but am unable to find anyone with the same issue.
Thanks for looking.Hi
It’s ‘Reports’, not ‘Visual Reports’ (Visual Reports seem to work fine). Seems to be all users but just this project file, both opened from Project Server or saved and opened locally.
Some screen shots below;
The screenshot below is output when ‘Cash Flow’ report is selected – normally a dialogue box opens with options for the various report parameters however this foes straight to
print;
Screenshots are in order. -
Project server 2013 olap database remains in processing state
Hi,
In an attempt to restore the Reporting Database in Project Server 2013, I did an archive and restore of Custom fields. Both of these events were successful, however, the Reporting database refresh kept on hanging in "Waiting to be processed status".
Before this was noticed, the OLAP Database was configured and a build was initiated. Now the status of the PWAOLAPDatabase build just remains in the "Processing..." status. What am I to do here? Thanks!Hi Jaco,
It seems like your reporting database refresh has failed, so the OLAP DB cannot be generated either. It could be due to a large resource pool.
See reference below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/7ac3bb1b-6621-46f0-a6c5-d9a04f770418/reporting-database-refresh-project-server-2010?forum=projectserver2010general
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2011/07/14/project-server-2010-reporting-database-refresh-failing-with-large-resource-pools.aspx
Note also that you can click on "processing" (as per your screenshot) to have the OLAP DB creation log in order to have more information on the status.
Hope this helps,

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

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.

How to find Project Level Text Custom Fields in Project Server 2010 databases?
Hello,
We are using Project Server 2010 SP2 in SEM Mode. We are planning to use Project Level Local Custom fields and we want to pull them in reports using SSRS, so I am wondering which table these "Local" (non enterprise) custom fields are stored in
database.
Any suggestions?

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,
RohitHi 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.

Line Classification Reporting in Project Server 2010
I’m trying to understand the Line Classification (LC) functionality and reporting in Project Server 2010 having not used this before.
I have added a new LC titled ‘Billable’ to the system and then added a task to my timesheet with the new Billable LC and then logged time to both the Standard and Billable LCs of the same task (not sure why MS have decided to call this Billing Category
– rather confusing). I was expecting that when the timesheet was approved the hours in both the Standard and Billable LCs would be combined and the total show-up on the task in the MS Project Professional plan but this appears not to be
the case, only the hours logged to the Standard LC show in the project plan.
Is this correct or am I missing a step to get the new LC hours into reporting?
Thank you.Hi Jane,
I'll try to be more explicit. Hours logged against other LC than standard will NOT be lost, they will simply not be pushed to the project plan. Only those against standard LC will be pushed as actual work after PM approval.
That being said, ALL actuals regardless of the LC will be in the Reporting DB and OLAP cubes for example. Meaning that using for example one of the 3 timehseet OLAP cubes, you'll be able to report actual hours against LC, periods, projects, resources, managers...
Hope this helps,

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.

Reports permission in Project server 2010
Hi,
I have reports created in SSRS, i need to bring those reports to Project Server PWA. How to do that? i need the steps.
Reports like Number of active resources working in Project, Number of projects in that PWA instance.
My requirement is, i have a structure like Executives - Program Managers1- 1.Project Manager 2. Project Manager.
Program Manager2 - 1. Project Manager 2. Project Manager.
Each program manger has to see only their projects(the project which comes under him) in PWA not the other Program Manager's project and Project Manager has to see only his project not the other project manager's project in the same program.
I have Executive who should see all the projects in the organization.
Can someone assist me how to execute in Project Server 2010 PWA?
K.GokulrajHello,
Sounds like you might need to use the project server security to filter the data in the reports, take a look at this example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee862408(v=office.12).aspx
To get the reports in side PWA there are several options. As you are querying this I guess SSRS in not SharePoint Integrated mode? If in SSRS Native mode you can just add page viewer web parts on the pages in the PWA site then reference the report server
report URL.

Setting Up Earned Value Reporting in Project Server 2010, Using Hours Not Dollars
Hello All,
Are there instructions for setting up Project Server 2010 for Earned Value data capture and reporting? I'm not certain that we are capturing the correct data to report EVM (i.e., Physical % Complete), and I was unable to find any videos on YouTube.
Also, I noticed that Project Server 2010 defaults to reporting EV in Dollars. Can we set it up to report in Hours instead?
JulieHi Julie,
If you allow to jump in to complement Dale's excellent reply and comment some of your concern...
5. The status date is a fundamental parameter while talking about the EVM (it is ANYWAY a key setting for tracking projects with MS Project). The EV field will take into account actuals up to this date. Meaning that if your project plans have been updated
by the PM on tuesday and you are running the analysis on friday, you set the status date to tuesday and the uncomplete work between tuesday and friday will not be considered as late work since you are running the analysis as of tuesday. The status date can
be set from the "project" tab either in the project information dialog box or directly in the project tab, status group.
6. MS Project proposes 3 EVM tables by default. A table is a predefined set of column which composes a view, together with a Gantt chart or a timephased grid. If you go to the view tab, click on "tables" then "more tables",
you will find EV, EV cost indicators and EV Schedule indicators tables which will display the out of the box EVM fields calculated by MS Project based on the costs, actuals, Baseline, status date.
Then about the cumulative data, you might be refering to S-curves which are a representation allowing you showing the cumulative values of the EV. To do that, you'll have severals ways:
Use the cumulative calculated field in the visuals reports
Create
Dashboards from the report tab using the cumulative data (actual, Baseline, cost)
Create
MDX mesures in the OLAP cubes for cumulative data and create excel reports
Develop custom SSRS reports
Buy a 3rd-party addon
Finally please let me give you an excellent reference for the EVM in MS Project with EPM Central blog articles:

Project Server 2010 failover environment with Database SQL Mirroring
Hello,
We have prod and failover environment. Failover environment created by using farm backup and restore of prod.
my question is : Can we do SQL Mirroring (from prod to failover) of 5 databases (4 PS databases and content db) to keep both the environment in sync. Will this process work in the case of Project
Server 2010. i am in doubt due to timestamp and GUID in config DB.
Also will this process is supportable.
Any help much appreciated.
ThanksHello MOhit2020,
I haven't done this type of failover, but I think you would need to setup all your SharePoint and project databases to use a SQL Alias to point to your production databases. When and if your production databases failed, you would update
your SQL Alias to point to the mirror location.
The other nice feature about having SQL Alias setup in SharePoint, is that in the future, if you switch to another SQL Server, the SQL alias makes it easier to handle.
