Project Server 2013 - New - Project, creates groups at the root site level, Server is in Project Server Permission mode

I created an Enterprise Project in PWA and moving up to the root site settings I see there was the four basic groups created there just for this project. This is not acceptable when there will be 500 projects on the server. Is there a setting to turn this
off. I guess we will rarely create projects with PWA, so I will see if creating a Project in Desktop has the same effect. Still would like to understand why this is happening. Thank you.
Site Provisioning settings are located under Central Administration -> Manage Service Applications -> Project Application Service -> Manage ->
Project Site Provisioning Settings
Turning that off allows the group creation to cease.
Then PWA Settings -> Operational Policies -> Connected Sharepoint Sites
allows selective creation of a Project Site (Workspace)
This set up is perfect for what I require.

I assume that you're talking about the SharePoint security groups for each Project site? If so, then this is as designed. Each site can have different users, so this is absolutely necessary when you use SharePoint. If you do not want to create project sites
for your projects automatically, you have already discovered how to turn off automatic site creation.
If you turn off the Project application service, you disable Project Server. I don't think that is what you want to do. I don't understand your objection to the groups because if you are running in Project Server classic permissions mode, Project Server
manages the group membership for you.

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

Unable to configure site mailbox at the sub site level and new site collections created

hi all,
i am trying to get the site mailbox up in my SP 2013 env's sub sites and site collections.
i am able to get the site mailbox created on root site collection level ONLY.
but i am getting the error code 8 when i try to add the site mail box at the sub site level and the newly created site collections on the same web appln.
error code 8:
An error occurred during the OAuth handshake between SharePoint and Exchange. This is typically caused by server to server configuration issues, such as a realm value mismatch on either side, certificate issues for Exchange or SharePoint, etc. Review certificates
and attempt to establish or reestablish trust.
so is it possible to create site mailbox at the sub site level [ team site] ?
and what are the steps i needed to perform on exchange server level.

Create group in the contact list, create group in the contact list ?

Create group in the contact list?

You can create groups by using your mac (granted iCloud is turned on for contacts so it can sink the group to your devices) or by going to iCloud.com. Once you create the goup on the web app it will sync to your devices.
From icloud.com, select contacts and in the bottom left corner there is a "+" sign, click that then click create new group.

Can I create group in users' My sites?

Hi All,
Can I create group in users' My sites? Also, Is it possible to create a personal site as https://<My site host site collection url>/managed path/username ? I am creating host based site collections with My Site Host site template.
Thanks,
Moohak

Yes You can create group in users mysites.
Create Host header site collection, then create my site host in that host header site collection.
Then update this URL as shown below in my site settings
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624362%28v=office.15%29.aspx
In the My Site Host section, type the URL of the My Site host site collection that you created earlier in this task.

New page for group headers - the first page is blank

In the Section Expert, if you set the Group Header #1 to "New Page Before", and there is a Page Header section, the first page will show the Page Header with no further data. The rest of the report does the page breaks correct, that is, a new page every time the grouping changes.
How do you stop this blank page at the beginning?
If you assign New Page After in the Group Footer, there is a blank page at the end of the report, which is also annoying. What am I missing?
Robert

If you are using "New Page Before" then use the condition by clicking on X+2 corresponds to it and write
Not OnFirstRecord
For "New Page After" write
Not OnLastRecord

Is a new SI_ID created every time the InfoObject data changes in the CMS?

I'm trying to create a process that records the FRS file path and file name of every InfoObject created in the CMS and associate it with a timestamp and a friendly report name.
As this process runs the big question is does it need to crawl the entire CMS every time looking for changes in previously created InfoObjects or is a new SI_ID, and by extension new file path and name, created every time the InfoObject data changes in the CMS?
I'm hoping it is the latter. Obviously the actual SI_ID creation behavior changes the code quite a bit. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Just want to make sure we're on the same page here.
If a User takes an infoObject and updates the file associated with an infoObject, then neither the SI_ID or the SI_CUID will change. Any changes to properties of the infoObject won't trigger changes to its SI_ID or SI_CUID value.
However, SI_UPDATE_TS will change with modification of the InfoObject:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2/en/en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_dotNet_doc/doc/boesdk_net_doc/html/QueryLanguageReference177.html
So that may be what you're interested in. Note that SI_UPDATE_TS is an indexed property in the CMS repository database, so a query that filters on SI_UPDATE_TS (such as SI_UPDATE_TS > '2006.02.02') wouldn't be too slow.
One danger to your scheme - it'll pick up updates to the InfoObject, but not to related InfoObjects (such as Web Intelligence - Universe relationships). Working out all the necessary relationships may be daunting.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

When you create groups on the IPhone can you make them private?

I hate to scroll through a million screens when I'm looking for an app, so I create groups and keep them on a single screen. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to password control any of the groups. Has anyone seen this ability on the IPhone, IPAD or even Lion?

No, it's not possible. Submit your feedback requesting that feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Update book inventory with NEW company code assignment for the same site

Hi gurus ,
Our company have this business scenario:
the site has run in Company Code A for several month with business of Material Management function, then the site have to be changed to Company Code B for financial requirement .
What we want is we change the CC assignment by OX18 for site master without changing the site number (creating a new site master ),except for the open purchasing or sales document clearance , is there any way we can update the book inventory with new profit center corresponding to the CC B ?
Thanks in advance ,
Ryan

Actually we have made some discussion with SAP consultant about this requirement ,and they suggest the same thing ,but for many reasons ,we need to make it that way ,and we also made some test for this direct changing by OX18 for new CC assignment .
All other questions are under control now , for financial reason ,we need to update the book inventory to new CC assignment (new profit center after site-specific material master changed ) in some batch session or program ,any idea for this?

Navigation bar opens new tabs for links on the same site - only newer versions of FireFox does this! Why?

I've used this custom navigation bar for nearly a decade. New versions of FireFox open new tabs when I navigate to different pages on my weather site. Very annoying!!! I've tried turning off tabs, but then it opens NEW WINDOWS! These links ARE NOT ENCODED TO OPEN IN NEW WINDOWS! What is causing this? Looks like I"m going to have to switch to Chrome or go back to IE, since nobody at Mozilla seems to care about this. They seem to think it is a good feature and not a bug. What gave you the right to decide to open new tabs at random times? If I click a link on a site that is on the same site I'm already on, and the link isn't coded for _blank, then it should open in the same window!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Opening new window or tab to the same site being viewed on another tab/wind

I am a new MacBook user. In my past experience with Internet Explorer, I would often open a new window to the same site that I was already viewing through File>Open New Window. This method was often preferable to opening a new window through the IE icon and loading to the homepage. I have gotten quite used to this pattern and am trying to figure out if there is a way to open a new tab or window to the same page that I am already viewing. I know how to open a new tab or window, but rather than going to the same page as in IE, the new tab is blank and the new window goes to the home page. I am using Safari and Firefox and can't figure out how to do this in either browser.

Hi,
Try this, I think it works for both Safari and Firefox (not 100% sure on Firefox but think so...)
Press command+l (lowercase L) and then press commandoptionpress return. That will open a new window with the current webpage in the new window. To open a new tab with the same details, omit the option key in the second step.
Command key = one with the Apple symbol
Option key may be called Alt on your keyboard.
Hope that works!

INVALID_PARTY_CONTEXT while creating Bank accounts at supplier site level

Hi All,
I am trying to create a bank account at supplier site level using below code.
IBY_EXT_BANKACCT_PUB.CREATE_EXT_BANK_ACCT(p_api_version => 1.0,
p_init_msg_list => fnd_api.g_true,
p_ext_bank_acct_rec => l_ExtBankAcct_rec,
p_association_level => 'SS',
p_supplier_site_id => l_vendor_site_id, --Vendor_site_id from ap_supplier_sites_all table
p_party_site_id => l_party_site_id, --party_site_id from ap_supplier_sites_all table
p_org_id => p_org_id, , --org_id fron which the program is run
p_org_type => 'OPERATING_UNIT',
x_acct_id => x_acct_id,
x_return_status => l_return_status,
x_msg_count => l_msg_count,
x_msg_data => l_msg_data,
x_response => x_response);
when I run this code from concurrent program.
x_return_status is NULL, x_msg_count is also NULL, X_msg_data is also NULL.
Whereas in x_response i am getting x_response.Result_Code = INVALID_PARTY_CONTEXT
Can you please help, why is it not able to create bank account, I have valid bank and branch for this.
Thanks,
Sachin

Thanks for reply Hussain.
I have checked all these notes, 2 our of these 2 are for AR API's.
The first note says that it would given error if you try to create a supplier of type 'EMPLOYEE' and site is given other than 'HOME' or 'OFFICE', but I am creating supplier of type 'VENDOR' and 'EMPLOYEE'.
This note has solution "Set supplier site = 'HOME' or 'OFFICE' type.".
As we are not creating supplier of Type 'EMPLOYEE', i guess this solution does not hold good for us.
Any other suggestions please?
Thanks,
Sachin

How do i make a new file created appear in the Application Navigator?

I am doing an extension to JDeveloper..How do i make the new file that the user has created to appear in the Application Navigator?
What methods can i use?
These are my codes...but it does not work still...
File file = new File(dir ,fileName);
file.createNewFile();
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file, false );
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter( fw, true );
Workspace workspace = ctx.getWorkspace();
java.net.URL projectURL = workspace.getActiveProjectURL();
URL url = file.toURL();
Node node = new Node(url);
jpr.add(node, true);
node.open();
NavigatorManager.getWorkspaceNavigatorManager().openNavigator(ctx);
ProjectNavigatorManager.getApplicationNavigatorManager().openNavigator(ctx);
EditorManager.getEditorManager().openDefaultEditorInFrame(node.getURL());

If it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button, and you are limited to your existing folders
