Project Server 2013 SSRS popup reports

Hi All,
We have developed SSRS reports and added link (using java script) to the report to open a sub report as pop up. We tested in SSRS report manager, the popup is working fine. But when we deployed in Project Server BI center using performance dashboard
designer, the popup is not working. How to fix the issue?
Thanks in advance, Taj

Hello. This isn't a Project Server issue. I would look to post this on the SharePoint forum or the SSRS forum. Paul

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 SSRS with Project Site

Hi All,
We are using Project Server 2013. We have developed a SSRS report by accessing Project Site lists. It was working fine for some time, now when we try to access the report it is showing loading. The data source itself is not working, we used http://<servername>/PWA
as URL for the data source . The reports developed without Project Site list are working fine.
After 5 to 10 minutes it is showing the below error.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'dtRisk'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
An error occurred when accessing the specified SharePoint list. The connection string might not be valid. Verify that the connection string is correct. (rsSPDataProviderError)

When we try to test the datasource connecting string, after 5 minutes showing the below error.

Thanks in advance , Taj

Hi Taj,
Your list is in PWA? is a global list?, if not, try to make a connection with http://server/PWA/SiteProject may this can resolve, because when you do some DS with a SPList, your need to stablish that connection directly at site path where you have the list.
I hope this help

Project Server 2013 - SSRS reports don't display icons

We have an SSRS report that works fine in Visual Studio. It works fine in the PWA reporting document library for test. However, when we put it into production, we are getting an issue where the SSRS icons/images and the report icons for the parameter drop
down do not display. The image inserted is of the top header of the report where everything is a dot and should be the "refresh" and left arrow/right arrow icons from the web page and the parameters and "collapse" icons that display
the red x.
Collin

Hi Collin,
This is more of a SharePoint / SSRS issue rather than Project Server. It could be a permission issue. Or even an access issue - may be you have an alternate access mapping etc.
It might be worth posting this query on one of the forums below:

PowerView In Project Server 2013 is not working

Hi All,
I am working on environment with Project Server 2013. In report part i am not able to see or view only power view reports.
I am testing this with default report provided by Microsoft, where other reports (power pivot) are working fine.
My power view report is not showing any error, it is simply gets opened as blank sheet.
Quick replies and help will be appreciated.
Note: I have installed silver light latest version too.
Thanks
Abbas

I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

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 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 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 - 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.

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.

How to get timesheet information in a javascript (Project Server 2013)

Hi all,
In Project Server 2013, I'm trying to customize the Timesheet ribbon. This far, I've been able to add a new button and tie an event to it. All is working well. This is all done using elements.xml and a javascripts.
Now the problem is that I want to get some informations about the timesheet (the Guid for example) and, for now, I've got no success. I know that there is an object called PS.TimeSheet, but when I try to use some PS.TimeSheet's methods I get an error.
Note that i'm in the page http://servername/pwa/timesheet.aspx (there is not Guid in the address) and all the treatments should be done in the javascript (no call to another aspx page)
Thanks !

Finally, I've found the solution.
My goal was to add a button in the timesheet ribbon to launch a special report showing some data about the timesheet. The report has the timesheet Guid as parameter.
To customize the Sharepoint ribbon, you have to do it via an xml file and a javascript (a lot of explanation is available in the internet that explains how to do it). So I had to call a function in the javascript to launch the report (which is a SSRS report).
When you are in a javascript you have access to many global variables. When the timesheet.aspx is displayed, there is a global variable called "timesheetComponent".
Using this variable we can call the method :
timesheetComponent.m_consumedApi.get_Impl()
to get an implementation of the current timesheet. This implementation has an attibute that has a lot of nice stuff about the current user and the current time sheet. This attribute is
_headerInfo
_headerInfo is a structure that includes tsUid which contains the timesheet Guid I was looking for.
Finally, the function attached to the button goes like this :
function _LaunchReport() {
var tsUId;
var rptPath;
var tsImpl = timesheetComponent.m_consumedApi.get_Impl();
try
if (CONST_REPORT_PATH == null || CONST_REPORT_PATH == "" ) {
alert("Constant CONST_REPORT_PATH is not defined")
else {
tsUId = tsImpl._headerInfo.tsUid;
rptPath = CONST_REPORT_PATH + 'TimesheetDetails&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false&TimesheetUID=' + tsUId;
window.open(rptPath);
catch (Err) {
alert(Err)
CONST_REPORT_PATH is the path to SSRS defined elsewhere
I hope this will help some other poeple !

Notification to Manager if task/Time sheet not approved in Project Server 2013

is there any option if any user(Resource) updated his/her task & sent to his/her Manager for approval
and Manager is not approved ( say in said timeline or days) then some notification should go to one step up (as Reporting Manager of that Manager who not approved task update & time sheet) in Project Server 2013?

A solution could be to create email subscriptions on an SSRS report containing the non-approved task updates by manager.
See reference here:
http://bhushan.extreme-advice.com/email-subscriptions-for-ssrs-reports/
Hope this helps,

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.
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

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,
