Project Server 2013 - User cannot create or see his timesheet

Hi everyone,
One of my project server user has a little problem with his timesheet.
When he try to create a timesheet, he has an error message :
"Sorry ... We can not create the timesheet, because we have encounter a problem with Project Web App or with the data validations,
especially resources who are users or work resources invalid. Please check
your environment and try again."
Or with timesheet which was create before encounter this error, he has this message :
"Failed while loading the view. Press OK to reload this view with default parameters. Press Cancel to sélect an other view."
I'd try to check every project where he is as a resource but I didn't found something wrong.
Maybe it's because one of the custom field is required but other user have no problem to create and view their own timesheet.
If you have any idea to help me.
Thanks,
Patmol

Please be sure about the permission required for users. If your users are having permission then Check URl which is talking about your issue which is common in PWA 2013

Hot fix is talking about issue and having Resolution http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760261/pt
Cause of the issue
Run the Sql
Profiler
The timesheet contained two tasks were the value of ASSN_ACT_WORK was NULL instead of 0.00000.
This caused the System.InvalidCastException in the ULS log and the user error the view failed to load.
Remove this kind of entry then you will not face the issue

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:
◦GeneralQueueJobFailed (26000) - CreateWssSite.CreateWssSiteMessage. Details: id='26000' name='GeneralQueueJobFailed' uid='---' JobUID='---' ComputerName='---' GroupType='CreateWssSite' MessageType='CreateWssSiteMessage' MessageId='1' Stage='' CorrelationUID='54a0c79c-da9b-c011-2554-5fb474e440c6'.
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,

Getting Project Site Provisioning Pop-up even after Operational Policies set as Do not create a sites in project server 2013.

In Project server 2013, users are getting Project Site Provisioning Pop-up even after Operational Policies set as Do
not create a sites.
We can use “Deny” Global Permission, “Manage SharePoint Foundation”, which controls Project site creation/ delete
as temporary workaround however want to know is this know defect in Project server 2013?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Raushan,
I can reproduce the same behaviour in my environment. It pops-up the dialog box when Project Site Provisioning settings set to 'Do Not Create' in the Central admin for the Project Web App.
As you mentioned already you can control it via permissions as an work-around.
Alternatively, you can also ask users to select the check box 'Don't show this again for this project'

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 !

Project Server 2013 - Cannot see project schedule in PWA

Project Server 2013 and Project Pro 2013
I have admin authority but for some of the projects loaded to the server, and published, i cannot see the Schedule option in the left frame. At least on project has this option available but several others do not. For the projects where I can't see the schedules:
- Some of these projects were created with imported MPP files from Project 2010, and imported using the wizard,
- Some were created with imported XML files from Project 2010, and imported using the wizard
- Some were created with Project Pro 2013 and saved, published to the P13 server.
Are there some obvious things that I should check as a new admin to this version of Project Server? I'm stumped.
For all of the above projects (with the issue or not) I can succesfully see everything in Project Professional 2013, and everything seems to function normally in the publish process.

Hi,
the first thing to check would be the EPT (Enterprise Project Type) of those projects. Go to server settings, Enterprise Project Types, select the appropriate project type and ensure that the Schedule page is on the left side of the section "New Project
Page/Project Detail Pages".
Hope this helps,

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

Project Owner not allowed to see Gantt charts in Project Server 2013

Hi
A user of Project Server 2013 is unable to see the Gantt chart of his own project. It says in red letters (translated): "You are now allowed to access this page".
I cannot see any difference between this users account and rights and I have tried as a test user to create a project, but I am unable to reproduce this error.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Jakob

Hi,
One of the things I would suggest is to to Inactive the user and save and then Re-active the user and save in order to re-apply user permissions.
I am assuming the user has the correct permissions etc.
Hope this helps

How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any.
Thanks
James T.F

Hi James,
See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
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.

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,

Need to create a TASKS page with a filter default in PWA Project Server 2013 (Online)

Never done this so, I am wondering How to go about or what I would need to create a simple PWA page like "Tasks" in Project Server 2013 online where it default to a filter that is set to not equal to the user that is logged on?
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
The "my tasks" page or "my timesheet" are automatically filtered on the user currently connected. Unless you are using workarounds such as status manager or delegation, I see no way to bypass this.

Error creating Project Server 2013 Server Side Event Handlers

Hi,
I have created a WCF service and deployed it successfully. Now when trying to add a new event receiver for Project CheckIn event, nothing happens. Checking the service using Services panel, it shows Microsoft Project Server Events Service 2013
is started. I check the ULS logs and see exception:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Could not find stored procedure 'pub.MSP_ADMIN_SetEventReceivers15RTM'
I have service pack 1 installed for Project Server and SharePoint, version 15.0.4571.1502. Any ideas? I see there is a stored procedure without '15RTM' suffixed in PWA database. I read another post on the forum relating to this same issue
but didn't want to create each additional item in the DB (table, data type, stored procedure, etc). Am I missing something? Looking for suggestions here. Your help is always appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Gokulraj,
What permission mode are you using in project server 2013? Is it "project permissions mode" or "SharePoint permissions mode"?
If you are using "project permissions mode", then go to Server Settings -> Manage users and click on the user with "team member" permissions to edit.
In the next page, expand "Global Permissions" and "View Approval" permission.
It could be the issue with the categories and category level permissions.
Happy troubleshooting...

Edit Enterprise Calendar in Project Server 2013 unavailable to permitted users

I am working with a customer where members of the Administrator group attempt to Edit Enterprise Calendars but are prevented from doing so. A dialog box displays saying that Project Professional 2013 needs to be installed. It is installed and they can connect
from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server using a Project Server Account.
The customer in question has an IT environment that is quite strictly controlled and policed - users cannot make changes to Internet Explorer security settings.
In Project Professional 2013 the Project Server Account is already created by some kind of group policy when Project Professional is installed on the users computer - normally when I get people to first open Project Professional I walk them through creating
a Project Server Account.
Users can open, edit and publish their Projects created in PWA in Project Professional 2013 without problems, the problem looks to be when you try to open something from within PWA for editing in Project Professional 2013, invoking a request in one application
that should result in the request being satisfied in another application.
When users are editing their Projects in Project Professional 2013 they can be seen to have their projects checked out when the "Force Check-In Enterprise Objects" page is checked - for example John Doe's project is checked out for editing
by John Doe.
I saw on another posting about Enterprise Calendars that stated:
I checked the ULS log, and it seems that Project Server is using a user account of a different user to launch Project Professional, and not the currently logged on user.
They have a very similar account name so I figure there is perhaps some kind of issue here.
I am wondering if this is the cause of the problem or if it is being provoked by some security settings in Internet Explorer blocking the communication between Project Professional 2013 and Project Server. Are there any Internet Explorer settings that should
be changed to allow users to edit Enterprise Calendars?

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?
