Project Server 2013 - OLAP Cube Build Issues

Hi,
I have a Project Server 2013 environment with SQL Server 2012 SP1. My cube built successfully and Report Authors group (including me) were accessing the templates and Data Connections from BI centre successfully.
I re-built the cube and suddenly we all cannot access templates or data connection as it says 'Access denied'!
Went to server hosting Analysis Services and checked the role ProjectServerViewOlapDataRole and didn't see any of the check box ticked for database permissions like it was when I initially built the cube and added Report Authors group and account
that is used by Secure Store app. Membership has both account and group.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thank you,
SJ

SJ,
The access of the BI Center, templates and data connections are handled by SharePoint permissions and are usually inherited from PWA.
The ProjectServerViewOlapDataRole simply provides the ability to view the data from the OLAP database. It sounds like the issue isn't with the OLAP but rather with PWA itself. An OLAP error would have only precluded you from retrieving data.
Did someone modify the BI Center site permissions recently such as breaking inheritance?

Project Server 2013 OLAP cube build error

When I try to build the OLAP cube I receive the below error:
[2/26/2014 12:36 PM] Failed to build the OLAP cubes. Error: The attempt to build the OLAP database on server SQL_Server_Name failed, the SQL Server Analysis Services Analysis Management Objects (AMO) client software may not be installed on this server, please
install/update the client on this server and retry. The underlying exception was: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot
find the file specified.
I did some search and found that Analysis Management Objects (AMO) client software is not installed on my servers, I downloaded and installed the AMO client software , restarted the Project Server Service application to the 4 Servers. I rebooted the
4 servers, tried to build the cube, but I got the same error. I checked the assembly on the 4 servers and they contain the dll Microsoft.AnalysisServices.
Any help?
I read that AMO client software tools must be installed during the farm setup, after installing the SharePoint Prerequisites and before installing SharePoint. Is that correct?

Hello,
Even with SQL 2012, the 2008 SQL AMO component is required on the Project Server servers. See the post from Brian for more details:

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,

Project Server 2013 Olap Data Connection Problem

I have created a number or Excel 2013 reports which use OlapPortfolioAnalyser data connection. Typically creating a pivot table. I can select any dimensions and measures and excel works as expected. However if I include the Project list or Resource
list it does not. I have tried this in two separate instances but do not have a separate environmnent availabale but would appreciate confirmation or othrewise of the misbehaviour.
Steps are: (Assuming cube is built and permissions set correctly and using Excel 2013 client)
In PWA\Bi\Data connections navigate to cube folder
Double click on OlapPortfolioAnalyser – opens in Excel 2013 (warning about data connections being blocked)
Click Enable
In pivot select project list from pivottable fields
Save file (locally or to sharepoint)
Close file
Now re-open file
Excel displays warning - "We found a problem with some content in "xxx.xslx". Do you want us to try and recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of the workbook, click Yes.
Click Yes
Another warning is displayed (Repairs to xxxx.xslx)
Removed Part: /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition1.xml part with XML error. (PivotTable cache) Load error. Line 2, column 0.
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable1.xml part (PivotTable view)
Click Close - you now see data but pivottable functionality is gone.
Note: this also happens with Resource list data.
How do I resolve this?
Thx
Mike

More research and KB 2817339 appears to have the fix - see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectsupport/archive/2013/07/30/excel-2013-error-opening-saved-pivottable-reports-from-pwa-bi-center.aspx
As I mention in the blog - the fix will not recover a broken xlsx as the break appeared to be on save rather than open.

Unfortunately the blog post you linked is in error - it reports that the issue is fixed in build
15.0.4517.1001. However I am running 15.0.4517.1504 and still hit the problem. The only workaround is the one post by
adrian_rho, above, which solved my problem. Thanks Adrian for the workaround, and to Brian for the great job tracking and assisting people on this issue, even though it is Excel and not Project - much appreciated!

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,

Creating custom Category for Risk & Issue in Project Server 2013

Dear All,
How to Change Risk & Issue Category default as per business requirement when selecting them through drop down or radio button?

Kindly help..

I have created custom template but not getting as demonstrated in blog
post from Prasanna specially
end part where Risk, Issue n all content can be seen. In My case only simple 3-4 items can be seen apart from risk, issue etc.
After that i saved this custom template to my
one of EPT in Project Server 2013. But unable to customize my Risk & Issue Category options for all projects. However, i have gone through that post & unable to understand as described in 2010 & i am using 2013 version.
Kindly let me know after saving custom Template
to EPT how to move further to customize these risk & issue categories globally.!!

Hi Siriosus,
Indeed you do need Sharepoint Server 2013
Enterprise for Project Server 2013.
See article below where it is mentionned:
Project Server 2013 requires the Enterprise edition of SharePoint Server 2013. Prior versions of SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation 2013 are not supported.

Project Server 2013 - OOB Report do not work - Overview report...

Hi.
I have followed all of the step to configure reporting as mentioned in text book " implementing and administering project server 2013'. However after configuring the secure store, excel services, analysis service and sql 2012 I am unable to see the
OOB reports appear with information.
I have built the OLAP cube in projects service application successfully, however when I try to run the report no information appears.
What can I do to resolve?
Thanks

I assume that you have configured excel services,secure store and built OLAP cube correctly and you are also having data in your Project server.
You can open cube report and excel report, then select row column or value according the need it will display data.
If you are using report viewer and author group make sure account from which you are trying to open report will have sufficient access or you can check with service account.
Also check when you open report, you select enable data which appears in the upper ribbon of the reports.
If you still facing any issue please let us know,what exactly is the issue.

Error while installing MS Project Server 2013(trial) on Sharepoint 2013(CAL)

My problem is that I get the following error:
trial editions and licensed editions of SharePoint, Project Server, and Office Web Apps products may not be installed on the same server
when I try to install MS Project Server 2013(180 days-evaluation) over a Sharepoint 2013(MAPS license).
What does exactly this error say?
Do I need to have Sharepoint and MS Project Server with same type of license?
If so, I suppose I'll have to remove Sharepoint(MAPS) and install a 180 days-evaluation Sharepoint. Will this re-installation be acceptable or I'll get some license type incompatibility issues?

Hello. You are correct, you will need to have the same license types either both trials or both licensed. Uninstalling/ reinstalling with trials should work fine or build another trial farm. Paul

Error while creating a Timesheet - Project Server 2013

Hi everyone,
One of user of PWA encounters an issue when he tries to create a timesheet. This error only occurs with a timesheet of
a specific period, he can create all the other timesheet.
So, when he creates the timesheet, this error occurs : "The timesheet creation failed, because of problems with Project Web App or with data validations"
After reloaded the list of the timesheets, a link to go to the specific timesheet
is available but if we click on it, we have this error :
"View Failue - The view failed to load"
I think , this error occurs
because the timesheet is not realy existing even if we have a link to it.
In the log (full log at the end), I've got this error :
Exception occured in method 'TimeSheet.CreateTimesheet' System.ArgumentException: These columns don't currently have unique values.
I've found this link with the same kind of problem :

user project but still have the error.
Have you got any idea where are these columns ? How can I found them without checked every project of PWA ?
Thanks,

Have you tried to go to the previous or next timesheet and then navigate with the "previous period" or "next period" to the timesheet in question.
Also have you tried to open it using a delegation session?

Can't open Project Server 2013 word documents with office 2010 installed

hello forum members,
we having issues opening a word document in a Project Server 2013 . we have Office 2010 on our computers installed.
when I click on a document link, i get a message "The webpage cannot be displayed". the only way to open a document is to right click on link and select "Open".
Does Project Server 2013 require Office 2013 installed? If not, is there a way to open documents in Project Server 2013 without right clicking on links?
tatiana

Hi Tatiana,
This is the know issue. I have experienced this issue with one of our client. The cause of issue as below -
Scenario
You have 2007 Microsoft Office installed on a computer.
On the same computer, you also have a Microsoft Office 2013 application installed, such as Microsoft Lync 2013 or Microsoft Word 2013.
SOLUTION
To work around this issue, remove the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support program component from the Office 2013
installation on the affected computer or computers. To do this, follow the “Install or remove individual Office program components” section of the following Microsoft Office website:
Install or remove individual Office

Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync

Hello everyone,
has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
group(s)?
Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
Proceedings:
Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
Having read
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
The first article states:
Note:
The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
Regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
(but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
(Magic happens!)
User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Help needed Regarding Project Server - 2013 Workflow

Hi All,
I am new to Project server 2013 Workflow, hence please help me regarding this. Pardon me if this question is too trivial.
I have created a project type associated with a workflow and my workflow is as follows :
So I am not doing anything here, I am just testing the workflow as mentioned by technet site : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458865(v=office.15).aspx
But it is mentioned that, after a minute or 2, the workflow state will change, also they have mentioned to press the Submit button.
But in my case, the workflow is not moving to next stage [It just says 'The workflow is still processing - which never changes after hours] or I am getting the submit button (Submit button is disabled on the ribbon). Below is the state of my workflow :
PS : I have made the user added to Portfolio managers group as well. But still I am having this same issue.
The Workflow manager is installed properly, and it is working fine in case of List workflow. I am facing the issue only wrt Site workflow for Project server 2013.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
shanky

Hi Kiran,
I am now facing issue while assigning a task to a person in the workflow.
I am having a person named say 'John' , who is included in Project Manager as well as Portfolio Manager.
And I am using a workflow as :
Stage : Conceptual
Assign a task to John (Task outcome to Variable: Outcome5 | Task ID to Variable: TaskID3 )
Transition to stage
Go to Approval
But this is again giving issue as :
Workflow Internal status : Cancelled
Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have
permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}
PS : I have used the same Sharepoint admin account for 'Account Name' in ‘User Profile Sync' , Is this causing the issue? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shanky
