Project Server 2013 Excel Services and Perfomance Point reporting

Hi
Is there a way to show Enterprise Fields that consists of multiple values in Excel Services and Performance Point reports. It seems to be a big product limitation that this cant be done out of the box
thanks

Hi Willem,
Indeed multi values custom fields are tricky to be managed through reporting.
Here is a post done by a friend on our blog about
multi value custom fields in Excel reporting.
Hope this helps,

Project server 2013 csom save and publish

Hi,
In Project server 2013 PWA when you edit project custom fields and save the queue job execute the following jobs:
- "Project Update from PSI"
- "Project Publish Summary"
- "Reporting (Project Publish Summary)"
In my code (CSOM) i can only use : " QueueJob Job = projChechedOut.Publish(true);"
which is creating all these jobs:
Project Update from PSI
Project Publish Notifications
Project Publish
Project Checkin
Prepare Project Web App Permission Synchronization For Projects
Reporting (Project Publish)
Project Workflow Check-in
Synchronize Project Web App Permissions to Project Web App
Synchronize Project Web App Permissions to Project Site
Reporting (Project Sync)
Is there way to "simulate" the save from PWA instead of fully publishing the project using CSOM, because it is a lighter solution since my code is supposed to only set custom field value (if i only update, not publish it is written to the
Draft) and secondly performance (less jobs) is better ?
Thx in advance !!

Hi,
as an update to my post:
- In PSI the method is project.queuepublishsummary(guid jobid, guid projuid)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg200290.aspx
the description says: Publishes the stage summaries of the specified project, in a partial publish operation.
I am wondering if the equivalent method exists in CSOM. There is this method: PublishedProject.UpdateVisibilityCustomFields() but it seems doing exactly the same thing as publishing a DraftProject.
Any ideas ?
Thx

Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view. Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online. And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id.
Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly). Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Spiro,
1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2013 Report Configuration

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We have configured the reporting server according to the below URL. But some default excel report (especially graphs) are not working i.e not showing the data. When we try to refresh the report getting the below error. is
there any additional configuration needs to be done.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Hi
Is it a Odata connection ? If it is then it might not work.
Below is the information taken from the site
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-suite-help/office-365-known-issues-HA102919011.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA102901439
Excel reports using OData connections can't be refreshed in Excel Services
In both Project Server and Project Online, when an Excel file is selected and displayed in the browser using Excel Services, if the Excel file has connections to the Project OData feed, a user may attempt to refresh data connections, but the refresh will
not be successful.
Workaround    To refresh your data, open the file in Excel 2013, refresh the data, and then save the file back to the SharePoint document library where it resides. Next time the report is viewed using Excel Services, it will have the most
recent data.

Timesheet Error with custom Line Classifications in Project Server 2013

We implemented Project Server 2013 last year and began using timesheets. We are a billable consulting group. In order manage our billing, we have created three custom line classifications, "Billable Onsite", "Billable Offsite",
and "Non-billable". We do not use "Standard" as a line where time is entered. We are using SEM. We have chosen no prepopulation on timesheets. Our system is updated through the March 2013 update.
The error we get is presented as "__error Loading" with the title bar of the pop-up reading "Message from webpage". This occurs when you attempt to add a new line to a timesheet and choose one of the custom line classifications.
A confusing aspect to this, while we have prepopulation turned off, the timesheet is populated with "Standard" lines for the tasks that are currently assigned to the user. We have come up with a workaround that works sometimes but not all the
time. When the user receives this error, they move away from the timesheet screen and then return. They add all of the applicable lines to the timesheet with "Standard" even if they already exist on the timesheet and save. Then
they add the lines with the appropriate line classification and the time. If they receive the "__error loading" error again, then the timesheet can not be corrected. You must delete the timesheet and recreate. We have been able
to recreate the problem in a vanilla install with a custom line classification added.
Just yesterday, I was able to find a error log entry that may help some of you identify the source:
General Unhandled Exception in _TimeSheet.GetTimesheetForGridJsonFromViewUid_ Attributes: System.ArgumentException: Assignment line already exists for assignment uid: d9afeb60-d589-e311-bd64-08edb9dd8afb     at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.Timesheet.VerifyLineIsUnique(Guid

We have not been able to find any similar timesheet issues here or on other boards. Our users, as you can imagine, are getting increasingly frustrated. A ny advice?
Thanks,
Nate

More scenario testing today. Tested with both "No Prepopulation" and populate assigned task options! no difference in our instance. We are only updated through March 2013, waiting for IT support. We have previously tried the deactivation/reactivation
of custom classifications. Tried with and without template, no difference. So the new scenario and findings:
1. Create a project with 2 tasks, one assigned and one not. Save and publish.
2. Create a timesheet, do not use an existing timesheet. Here we found, in spite of population option chosen, the timesheet was populated with a Standard line for the assigned task. With no action taken other than creating timesheet, the reporting assignment
table showed the new entry.
3. Add an assignment to the other task in the project, publish.
4. Open the same timesheet period. Now I saw the other task appear on the screen. It did not show in the database. I could not save to make it appear in the database unless I did something else to the screen to make it "dirty". Once I did that,
I could save and the second Standard line appeared In the database.
If I tried to add a custom line class line to the TS when the Standard line was not in the database, I get the error. It doesn't matter if it shows on the screen.
If it shows on the screen but not in the db, and I attempt to add a non-standard line, it will error, unless I manually add the standard line first. The user would not know to do this.
You will not be able to reproduce if you make the assignments and then create the TS. You need to try in reverse order.
It appears as though there are issues with both the timesheet population options and the code that runs when the TS loads after it's initial creation. I'm wondering why on creation the standard line is created and committed to the db, but on reload with
new tasks it doesn't' do the same. Also when No Prepopulation is turned on, why my time sheets are always prepopulated.
Sorry for any typos, working from my ipad keyboard. Thanks for your help!

Project Server 2013 for Resource Planning & Project Portfolio Management

We are looking to use project server 2013 for resource and project portfolio management. We are an IT department of approximately 600 growing to 1,000 within the next several years.
We would like to us PS2013 to do the following :
Manage Portfolio of Projects
Manage Resources against this Portfolio
Calculate Project Finances using resource roles and rates
I would be grateful to have both comments on experience , both positive and negative.
Thank You

Many teams within organizations are turning to Project Server to help them control resources, deliverables and costs better. It does resource management very well with work & cost resources, baseline costs, material costs, budget costs and
out of the box earned value analysis (EV). The Strategy (portfolio) component is very powerful and it will help you identify project that align to your objects then do what if analysis to find the right mix of projects.
Here are a couple of things you should think about when moving to PS2013:
1) Who will be using the tool? If it is a mix of onsite staff, remote staff, vendors, contractors etc. you may want to think about a hosted solution.
2) Training. Don't assume everyone will just magically 'know' how to use the tool. Train everyone (team members, PMs, Executives) then train them again. It's the only way to truly get the value out of the tool.
3) Who will manage the system? This is not a typical application. The right administrator needs SharePoint, Project Server, SQL Server, MS Project, Analysis Services and SQL Report writing skills. Please note that much of this can
be learned by the right person but DEFINITELY find the right person.
4) Don't start customizing right out of the box. You will get frustrated. Adjust your organization to the tool early on. I know that is easier said than done but you need a realistic approach to get tool acceptance moving early.
5) Use workflows but don't use them right out of the gate. Workflows are great but I suggest you wait until phase 2 or 3 to start aligning them to your business processes.
6) Lastly and most importantly, you must first establish your own business processes THEN align them to the tool. DO NOT assume the tool will create business process for you. You must think about how you are going to initiate a project,
how are you going to track deliverables, how will time sheets be managed, etc. Get to a whiteboard, crack open Visio and start building and establishing your processes now. PS 2013 is pretty flexible and usually will align well with existing business
processes.
And don't forget to hire a good consultant. They can be brought in during key phases of your roll-out to add value, help you avoid risks, and provide you with best practice advice.
Good luck.

Project Server 2013 licensing

I was reviewing the Microsoft Project Server 2013 licensing terms and noticed the following:
PPM solutions require a Project Server 2013 license for each running
instance of the software
(source: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/project/microsoft-project-licensing-project-for-multiple-users-online-and-on-premises-project-management-software-FX103802201.aspx)
The PUR mentions something similar:
For each license, you may use one Running Instance of server software
(source: http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com/ProductPage.aspx?pid=443)
You have to install Project Server on each SharePoint server in your farm. In the past it has always been said that you need one Project Server License for each installed copy (so for every SharePoint server in the farm).
Has anything changed for Project Server 2013?
Is a Project Server License only required for the SharePoint Server where you activate the Project Server Application Service?
Or does running equals installed when it comes to licensing?
Anyone can shed some light on this? Thank you!

I agree with Bernhard on this one....there's been no real change for on-prem licensing....you still need a Project Server license for each server in the farm.
That being said, there was a significant change (and confirm with your local MSFT rep), but in some cases, the online subscription pricing may be used for on-prem installations, i.e. I can pay by user by month instead of buying the CAL. I don't think
this impacts the server licensing, but worth noting.
The "Running Instance" terminology is maybe meant to capture the VM scenario where I have one physical server running multiple VMs, each one running Project Server?

Project Server 2013 SSRS reports by logged in user group

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We have developed SSRS report. We need to display the projects based on the logged in user security group(e.g Project Manager, Administrator etc.) I tried with the below query got from a forums. But it is not working. Is
there is any way to get the security group of the logged in user using SQL query.
SELECT MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS.WSEC_GRP_NAME, MSP_WEB_RESOURCES.RES_NAME
FROM MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS INNER JOIN
MSP_WEB_RESOURCES ON MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS.WRES_GUID = MSP_WEB_RESOURCES.WRES_GUID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS ON
MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS.WSEC_GRP_GUID = MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS.WSEC_GRP_GUID
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
The query above gives you a complete list of user groups and users. It does not filter by resource name/group.
You can get the logged in user using the "USer Filter" webpart, on which the SSRS report is being displayed (assuming you are displaying it on a SharePoint page). You will need to pass this as a parameter into your SSRS report.

Project Server 2013 Ribbon Customization using a custom action

Is it possible to customize the ribbon in the Project Center through a Solution? Is the only way to add a button to the Ribbon through an app?
I am using Project Server 2013 on Prem and every time I deploy a custom action - button to the ribbon in the Project Center the button becomes greyed out/disabled and says "This control is currently disabled." I haven't been able to find any examples
of how to do this in Project Server 2013 using a solution.
Here is the custom action, I have tried with and without the EnableScript attribute but nothing seems to work:

Hello,
You can add a new button using a SharePoint feature or via an app. If you haven't see the links below already, take a look. These are for 2010 but would be very similar for 2013:

Excel 2010 reporting with Project Server 2013

Our company purchased SharePoint Server 2013 and Project Server 2013, mainly for the reporting/BI attributes. I read that the report templates, etc. that can be used by Project Server web app can only be accessed with Excel 2013?? Does that mean that our
group/customers have to upgrade to Excel 2013 to take advantage of the Excel Services? This is a huge deal. Can you please let me know as soon as possible? Yikes!! :-O

Hi,
As far as I know, Excel 2010 is still supported by Project Server 2013.

Which sharepoint service applications & services are required for Project server 2013 to work fine.

HI,
Can any one help me,
I am planning to install project server 2013, what are the service applications and Services ( Manage services on server in central admin ) in sharepoint are required for project server 2013 to work fine, so that i will run only service
application and services to increase server performance..i don't want to configure all service applications when i am configuring.
Thanks in Advance..
vijay kommireddi

Hi Vijay,
If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

What I'm trying to do is to create a new Project from the scratch, update the Issues List, not deleting or modifying columns, just creating new columns in order to match the names he (the Project Manager) put in his Issues List, then Export the list to Excel,
and then create a datasheet view matching the Exported list, but here I don't know how to import the list (copy / paste or whatsoever it can be done...)
Do you know how to do it, or do you know another/any method to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance,
José Espases

Hi José,
2 considerations:
The first one is that (as you experienced) one should not delete or rename any of the predefined columns in the risk/issue list. What you did is the right way, meaning keeping the native column as is and creating new ones based on the business needs. Finally
you just need to create view with the appropriate fields.
Then for importing risks from an Excel list, I can't test it right now, but you should have a datagrid view (MS Access type) allowing you pasting data from Excel.
Hope this helps,

When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013

Hello,
I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013. I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can
click and see the schedule. However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:
'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'
At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message. At this point, I am no longer able to look
at the schedule of the project either. Can someone assist with this issue?
Thanks

Hi antonio,
In addition to Phani's advice, which version of IE are you using?
Can you reproduce the issue on another mahcine and with another browser?

Please consider below scenario and advise me what I have missed or may require changes
I have configured Excel Services Account in my project server farm
Excel reports are browsed fine
Once Refresh All data is clicked end in an error :
We couldn’t load the Data Model. This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged.
Access was denied by the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have already given read permission on the application to the excel services account.
What could be the issue and how can I resolve this?
