Project Server 2013 : Report table not updated with Published tables

Hello Team,
We found the issue that Publish and Reporting table have difference in work attribute. is their any way that we can refresh the Reporting table in one go.
Thanks.

If this issue is specific to one or few projects, using Save for sharing would be much more easier.
If this issue is for all the projects then as NicoOosthuysen recommended RDB refresh would be the option. Having said that you have to take extra measure before you start RDb refresh , since it is very high system resource and time consuming activity
Steps for Save for sharing
1. Open MS Project Pro 2013.
2. Open the project plan from the server.
3. Now save it locally without making changes in the File Name, using File > Share > Save For Sharing. Provide local location. Do not close Project Professional
4. Now save back the project back to server using File > Save As (Project Name should be grayed out)
5. Save and then publish the project plan.

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.

Project Server 2013 - Approved Tasks not applied to Project Schedule

Environment Details: Microsoft Project Server 2013 SP1
When an Resource completes a tasks within the Task or Timesheet page at the end of each day, the tasks is routed to the Project Owner for approval. The Project Owner (Project Manager) approves the task. During this process no errors are displayed.
When the Project Owner (Project Manager) goes into the Project Professional 2013 client to view how the project is progressing, and update the project completion date, the updates is not applied to the project.
This worked for some time, but has recently stopped working with no changes made to the environment. Any help would be great, as our project manager's are manually updating the tasks prior to approving them so they can report back on the project each week.

Hello ProjMgrMatt
Sounds pretty serious, but I think something is missing somewhere.
Make sure that the Status Manager field is the same as the Project Owner.
Check to queue to be sure that nothing is stuck and waiting.
Create a new project, publish, submit, approve, etc and see if it still happens.
Cheers!.

Project Server 2013 reporting security

HI
I have a question and I have seen a couple similar ones but nothing definitive on the topic of permissions/security for Project server 2013 (in project server security mode) for either Excel(Odata) reports or for SSRS reports.
Even setting security aside the Out of the box configuration is certainly not elegant or even usable.
Situation:
In PWA project managers and team members can only see projects they, own, are team members on, or have been granted permissions explicitly to. (Pretty standard - is using security templates and "my Projects"). We are using secure store
and impersonation for access to reports. We do have report authors groups.
As an example a PM needs to create a weekly status report but should not have to pull all the data back to then filter for their one project.
However, when a PM goes to either SSRS or Excel using oData they can see every project in the company. This is just does not make a lot of sense. Why would I hit the database for 100projects when I only care about one and yet there seems
to be a lack of information on the topic. In contacting Microsoft we were told there was nothing we could do that is how it was designed.
REALLY???? (see above)
What we have come up for our approach is that we're currently using the UserID value to set parameters in our data sources, but are looking for more 'elegant' approaches
to security (if they exist) as there are some liabilities with this approach (EX is a report author forgets to put the parameter in the users will get everything back.
QUESTION:
If there is not another approach then we will stay with it. We can't imagine there isn't a better way.
Additionally, the Project user view only contains the identity of the project owner not the rest of the team members (including sponsors who might need to see the data.) so where are they in the database?
Tasks

Hi Paul,
I have a similar situation only I'm using Project Online. I have setup Groups and Categories where there is a relationship between clients and groups, and projects and categories.
Only issue is that when running a report a user receives an error and then all the data shows for all projects irrespective of the group/category/project relationship and the fact that user only exists in one group (and therefore can't see
or access the other projects in PWA outside of their group.
Hope that makes sense.

Conrad

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.

Project Server 2013 - Graphical Indicators - Not showing until the project is published via Project Pro 2013

Greetings -
I have a custom field on a PDP that is used to manually flag a project for review. Once the field is set to "Flag" a red flag should show on the Project Summary page prompting the Portfolio Manager to follow up. The red flag only appears
after publishing the project via Project Pro 2013 not by just editing the PDP via Explorer (Save and Check in).
This occurs on both projects that were created prior to the graphical indicator being added to the PDP and new projects.
Now if instead of using the red flag graphical indicator I just used the text "FLAGGED" that would work fine.
So is this a bug? Or is something setup incorrectly? Or is this how PWA is supposed to handle graphical indicators on the project summary page?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Gunnery,
I made the following test: I create 2 project ECF both inserted in the Project details PDP:
for review: flag type field with graphical indicator in case value = yes
for review_2: text type field (with a yes/no look-up table) with graphical indicator in case value = yes
Whitout going to Project Pro, I'm able to modify the 2 fields for any project (created before or after the ECFs creation) and the graphical indicators are instantaneously shown in the summary project center view (just pressing F5).
Note that the graphical indicator is not shown in the PDP, just the text value. Note also that I've not been to Project Pro neither to PWA/schedule PDP to publish the project plan.
Then
Does that correspond to your need? Can you reproduce this example and validate wheither or not it works.

Project Server 2013 Site Owner not changed when Project owner is changed

It seems when a project is created the project site "owner" is set to be the person that created the project. If the project owner is changed then site "Owner" is not updated. This is a problem on several fronts and I am almost
hoping it is an issue with my install.(We are running Project permissions mode)
Use Case 1: A project manager leaves the company and the New PM is added as the new project owner. After addition and publish the site owner remains the same as the original. this means the new pm can't share the site (to a stakeholder who is not in the
ERP) by adding them to the general "Contribute" group or otherwise.
Use Case 2: a planner creates a portfolio project and gets it through the workflow and all. the PM is assigned but can't add other stakeholders without going back to the planner and having them add them to the project site as an owner.
Question: Is this a feature or a bug? Is there a script to do this?
Seems kind of cumbersome and has already produced numerous issues for us.
Tasks

Bob,
Unfortunately, you are seeing the behavior as designed. The Project Site Owner will always be the person, who created the project site (i.e. Project). This is because, after the initial creation, the only groups that are synced are:
<Site Name> Project Managers (Project Web App Synchronized)
<Site Name> Team Members (Project Web App Synchronized)
<Site Name> Web Administrators (Project Web App Synchronized)
The idea here is that, all 'sharing' of the project site will happen via the project schedule/Project Server. Anybody who is part of the Project team, will be given Team member access, and anybody with rights to save that project will be given project manager
acess on the Project site,
This is also good in a way, because, this prevents any license violations, (users who access project sites also should have PWA CAL), that could happen via direct sharing.
Having said that, you have couple of options:
1) Make it part of your process that when a owner changes, the admin (or workflow) manually adds the new owner to the Site Owners group.
2) Disable Project Site Sync, and manage it via the AD Groups (depending upon on your security model).

Database table not updating with the changes

Hi friends,
                Iam having a tablecontrol where iam gettting the data from the ztable for a particular key field. When i change certain fields in the table control and when i click save, it should update the changes in the ztable.
   module save output.
   modify zslip_po1 from table x_po1_slip.
here slpno is the key field. if I change a field for a particular slpno it should update the changes for that slpno value only.
but it is not updating the changes. although iam setting the slpno field dynamically.
Please give me ideas.
thanks and regards
Murali Krishna T

Hi,
1. Have 2 Internal Tables, the first one must contain the original data(before change ) and the second one contains the update data(after changed ie. table control data).
2. loop the first table and read the data from the second table using index.
3. inside the loop, compare the work area of both the internal table.
   if both are same, then no change was made to that particular record, so no need for updation
   if both are not same, then some changes were made on that record, so need to update.
4. use modify command to update that particular record from the work area.
i think in performance wise also this logic will be helpful, since we are updating only the changed record.
since this is addon table, so i hope the no of records will also less, so no need to worry about loop.
check with this, it may work out......
thank you,

Project Server 2013 - User does not have permission to create a WSS site

We have Auto-Publish enabled for the project by the Owner. The issue is that when a user submits his updates, the updates are auto approved and auto-published but it also ends up showing below error to the user.
General
•User does not have permission to create a WSS site.:
◦GeneralSecurityAccessDenied (20010). Details: id='20010' name='GeneralSecurityAccessDenied' uid='---'.
•Queue:

For more details, check the ULS logs on machine --- for entries with JobUID ---.
And in the Project Queue, the failed job type and job state are
Job type- Project Site Update
Job State - Failed But Not Blocking Correlation
We have disabled Site Provisioning for Project publish.
Can anyone point us on how auto-publish works and what all permission is required by users or owners?

Hi Goahh,
It might be that your issue has nothing to do with the rules set to auto-publish the project. Try to inactivate the auto-publish for a test project and try if the publication by itself works. Or simply try to publish a project from MS Project Pro and see
if you still get the error message.
Has it been working before?
Check also that the "Manage SharePoint Foundation" permission is enabled for the security groups in question.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2013 - Reporting on Workflow Stages and Phases

I just received a requirement to build a report listing all the projects and their corresponding Workflow Stages/Phases in a chart. I did a chart using cube with the Project NonTimephased Data, but how will I do this with workflow stages and phases.

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: customize JSGrid (Project Center, MyTasks, etc...) ?

Hi,
In Project Server 2010, it was possible to customize the JSGrid, thanks to the tutorial included in the SDK "Walkthrough:
Customizing the PWA Ribbon and Accessing the JS Grid". It works really fine, and I used this possibility in many Project Server 2010 implementation for Customer.
I would like to make it on Project Server 2013, but the same code doesn't work. I found some posts
here, where people had the same issue, but no clear answer.
The Project Server 2013 SDK does not contain the same tuto upgraded for 2013, and I hope that this possibility still exists.
If somebody has a very basic example to show how to execute some custom code on Focus Change event, or clic, or what ever event happening on this JSGrid, it would be very nice to share.
My installation is On Premise, not in On Line.
Thank you for your help !

Hi,
In fact for filtering, you have to use delegate.
The "HandleFilter" function must be created by you. You have to bind this function to the correct delegate.
For filtering, the main delegates are:
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.AutoFilter
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.LaunchFilterDialog
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetAutoFilterEntries
The post
here explains the process for 2010. For Project Server 2013, the difference is that we don't have the same objects.
Here you can find the way to declare the delegate in Project Server 2013, with the SetDelegate method:
var pc; // Contains the Project Center extension object.
var JsGridControlInstance;
var JsGridSatellite;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ProjectCenterMain");
function ProjectCenterMain() {
pc = new ProjectCenterExtension();
function ProjectCenterExtension() {
if (typeof projectCenterComponent === 'undefined')
return;
JsGridSatellite = projectCenterComponent.get_GridSatellite();
JsGridControlInstance = projectCenterComponent.get_GridSatellite().GetJsGridControlInstance();
JsGridSatellite.get_tableViewParameters().bAutoFilterableColumns = true;
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.AutoFilter, HandleFilter);
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.LaunchFilterDialog, FilterDialog);
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetAutoFilterEntries, FilterMenu);
function HandleFilter(newState) {
alert("Filter !");
function FilterDialog(param) {
alert("FilterDialog !");
function FilterMenu(param) {
alert("FilterMenu !");
My advice to search, is to put a break point on the ProjectCenterExtension function, and through debugger, tou can drill down in the main methods and properties.
Often you will see functions with get_XYZ(), and then be able to make the matching with the Project Server 2010 syntax.
For the filtering implementation, I beleive that you can deal with your article based on 2010: it should work as soon as you will get the equivalent objects in 2013.
Hope it helps !

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.
