Project Server 2010 SP2 Timesheet Errors

Hi,
We use Project Server 2010, SP2 in SEM mode. Users use IE9. Some of our users complaining that while entering timesheet, sometimes "h" for hours is auto populated next to the hours entered in the cell... and sometimes dont appear and then timesheet
freezes. Anyone have any suggestions when would this happen and any resolutions?
And some users also get the following error...
An error occurred when communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary", then attempt to approve TimeSheet"
Please suggest.
Kishore Dodda

Let us know what turns up. It certainly looks like you are losing connectivity. The other possibility is that your databases are in need of attention. Ask your SQL DBAs whether they are following best practices for Database management and have a SQL maintenance
plan running on the Project Server databases.

Project Server 2010 (PWA Timesheet) Error

Hello,
I am an administrator for Project Server and had a resource submit a timesheet in error. The timesheet was approved at the time and recalled by the resource at the same time. When the resource had tried to recall, they received back an error. I delegated
as the resource and tried to recall it as the user but it gets stuck with the green loading picture and never moves past that. It seems the status update was accepted when it got approved and now the timesheet is "stuck". From the user's standpoint,
it shows only as "Submitted" in their Timesheet status, but somehow it does not let me delete the timesheet. The error received is saying Invalid object, timesheet failed/blocking correlation. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Can't seem
to fix this error.
This is the error i get in return:
Timesheet:
GeneralInvalidObject (20009). Details: id='20009' name='GeneralInvalidObject' uid='fc00fed3-1cb1-48b2-83b6-800b03b33f1d' parameter='nextApproverUID'.

Thanks!

Is the Test and Production in the same domain. If they are not, then the SIDs associated with the SQL accounts may look the same but they are not. At times, I have had to recreated accounts when in different domains.
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.

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

2) check UAC (and the rest of the technet answers - some are listed below)

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.

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

Project Server 2010 SP2 - Use with IE11, Firefox and Safari

More groups in my company are being onboarded to start reporting time and managing projects out of Project Server /PWA 2010.  We found that one of the groups have MACs and use either Safari or Firefox. There are some members of that
same team who are using an HP machine but are using IE 11.
From what I am reading and what I am seeing it appears that with Firefox and Safari you cannot access Manage Timesheets or Project Center.  Has anyone found a work-around for this?
The work-around we are using for IE11 is to add Project Serrver to the Compatability View.  Does anyone know of a problem with this approach?
Thank you

Look into using the 'IE tab' for Chrome/Firefox as a work-around. I had a similar scenario with Mac users and installed IE tab in their Chrome/Firefox browsers for them and worked pretty good for the most part. 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 !

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 - 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,

Hello Vijay,
From error it seems to be the issue with the Project Work Category lookup table sorting. Could you please share what sorting option is selected for this Lookup table?
Please refer to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aee17d2b-5171-40f6-88aa-d4d15472c1d7/firm-with-complex-and-frequently-changing-org-chart-wants-to-have-its-ps2010s-rbs-lut-refreshed?forum=project2010custprog
You may run into this issue if sort order for the lookup table is not set to sort By Ascending or Descending.
If it set to "BY Row Number" then try to set to "By Ascending or Descending" and they try backup and restore again.
Thank you,

Error Project Server 2010, % Complete, Work and Actual Work

Hi Everyone
I have a Project Server 2010 SP2 Environment, The farm contains 3 Servers.
1 WFE, 1WebApp, 1 BD. All servers in the farm are Windows Server 2008 R2 and the Data Base Server is SQL Server 2008 R2
The Context:
The Project Managers create the Project in Project Professional 2010 SP2 for support Annual Maintenance about a software, then the team members go to my tasks in PWA to create the task inside the stage in the project, then they put the actual work, then they
send the progress to his project manager.
So, the project manager goes to the approval page to approve two times, one, the task creation and two, the progress.
So far all ok but when the project manager open the Gantt in Project Professional 2010 SP2 , the task that the team member has sent appear with a 100 percent complete, but the work with 0 hours and the actual work with 0 hours too, being that should appear
with the hours the team member has sent, that is my problem.
This occur only with this project manger and his team member, all of others project managers in the platform don't report this issue.
I already have re open the project and re publish too
So , let me know if you have some idea about this issue.
Erick Gutiérrez PMI Membership #ID 2089740 MTCS - Microsoft Project Server Managing Projects

Only other ideas is to make sure the duration isn't 0, which would make it a milestone.
Have the resources, recall the timesheets and resubmit. Run it thru cycle again and see if they actual show up.
Finally, you can run SQL query and see where the data may be.
1) Check if status manager is who you think it is
2) Check if project shows actuals in sql. Doesn't explain why not showing in schedule.

An Unknown Error Has Occurred - Project Server 2010 - Tasks Page

Greetings!   Some of my resources are recieving the error "An Unknown Error has occurred" (in red) when trying to access their TASKS Page in Project Server 2010.
I've researched this error quite a bit and am finding suggestions and answers pretty much all over the board.    Before I have my server people start installing a slew of hot fixes - I want to know if anyone has an idea of the underlying cause
for this error.    Since this issue doesn't affect everyone (i.e. I can access my task page), is it possibly related to the actual schedule in which they have assignments?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
~Randy

i have found the solution for this issue, you need to do this:
in the logs you must search the "exception" and the logs give you a ID, this ID is about the task assignment in the specific resource , so this assignment is corrupt.
this ID, you need to merge in the SQL server in the project server database, you need to merge ID task with ID Project with ID Resource, so when you identify the ID project and ID resource you can
DELETE this assignment in the project from project profesional, because this task has a corrupt assignment, you must delete
ONLY FROM project professional.
This solutión solve this specific problem for this assignment that

Understanding Project Server 2010 Error ID 12015

Are there any known bugs with Project Server 2010 producing the error ID 12015.
I have a user who has the most up to date version of Project Pro 2010 who cannot open projects from Project Server 2010.
Below is there screenshot showing their Project Pro version:
We have the oldest version of Project Pro in Project Server set to 14.0.6134.5000
Below is a screenshot of the Error ID they are receiving with a completely new version I have never seen before:
I have been researching for days trying to figure out where the 14.0.4751.1000 version number is coming from. We have all our users on the same versions that are displayed in the first screenshot.
Has anyone ran into this issue before?
Thanks,
Brent

14.0.4751.1000 is of that users MPP.
and minimum 14.0.6134.5000
version is specified in project server instance. But your user is having 14.0.4751.1000
version
So resolution is either user update mpp with latest Cu or you specified 14.0.4751.1000
version in project server .
As every after Cu update version is getting changed of MPP

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.

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?

Delete Enterprise Custom Fields in Project Server 2010

Hello,
We have Project Server 2010, SP2, in SEM mode. We recently removed some legacy unused Project Level enterprize custom fields from system, and observed that, the fields are not visible via PWA System Settings, but still see them in Project Pro, Project Information
dialog and also available as a field that I can add it to a view.
I have already tried following:
- Clear the roaming profile (global.mpt) and exit out of Project Pro, and reconnect to Project Server... but still see those fields.
Any ideas, why we see it, and is there any additional steps we need to perfome to remove from Project Pro?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Kishore Dodda
Kishore Dodda

Hello,
They should have removed automatically. I have seen this before and carried out these steps:

It's not a task related errors because i have alredy done an analysis of the resorce's assignments.
I have also verified IIS authentication settings as described in this
post but all had been alredy correctly configured.
We have a farm installation with two physical server:
Application Server with Windows 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010 Enterprise, Project Server 2010
Database Server with Windows 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 SP2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I faced exactly the same problem: some resources try to connect to My Tasks, and get an Unknown error. No error message in ULS or Eventlog.
I hope I solved the problem, and want to share the experience here.
First, by reading this article,
http://www.projectserverexperts.com/ProjectServerFAQKnowledgeBase/Unknown%20Error%20My%20Tasks%20Page.aspx: even if the SQL Query returns me no records, it gives me the idea to delete (unpublish) some tasks (i managed to identify some tasks which raised
the problem, by assigning a test account on them, and see that the pb happened).
So I decided to delete my project from the Published Database (and keep it in the Draft of course). Than in Project Pro, I opened and Published: the problem seem to be solved.
I don't know the root cause of the pb: maybe some SQL data were corrupted for an unknown reason.
Hope it could help some one ! Don't hesitate to give feedback if you solved this pb with this solution, or workaround.
