Project server and exhcnage certificate or EWS url problem

We are having trouble enabling synchronization between our Project 2010 Server and our Exchange 2010 CAS server.
When we initially saw this error below,
“The root of the certificate chain is not a trusted root authority.”, we then downloaded the GoDaddy intermediates certificate that goes with the “mail.sfbcic.com” cert and    imported it as a trusted root authority
on the project server. However, we are still getting the error you see below.
You can see that we have two certificates that are valid.
Our CAS server has 2 certificates: (Both are valid certificates)
                1 – Self-Signed      HOSEXCHCAS4
                2 – Third-party (GoDaddy) certificate      mail.sfbcic.com
Our Questions:
1. In PWA, do the computer names of the cas servers need to match the third party certificate (is that what's causing the error)? Currently, we have the CAS server names listed (cas2, cas3, cas 4). The Go Daddy certificate
is for mail.ourdomain.com
2 If the answer is no, do you have any idea what we are missing?
3. Do we need to get a new third party certificate and not use the self-signed certificate?
4. Would one of the CAS servers not being active right now cause this issue?

We found the problem.
We downloaded the "Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority Root Certificate". Via Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration, we created a new trust relationship using the certificate we downloaded.

Major Differences between Project Server and Project Proffessional

Hi,
We are planning to use MS Project with SharePoint. In the initial research i came to know that we will need MS Project Professional to syn task lists on SharePoint. We are looking at a solution where all the Project Leaders (Across the world) can update
their project statuses online using SharePoint (right now this is being done manually).
I then came to know that we can access MS Project on SharePoint using MS Project Server. I am now not able to decide on which one to choose. So I want to know the major differences between MS Project server
and MS Project professional. Which one would full fill my requirements. I cannot limit my requirements to only updates. but also would want to add some extra features like Site Mail box and Project Issues log, so that my Project Management is more effective
and is better.
Please answer at earliest
Regards
Srikar Gundabathula

Srikar --
Microsoft Project Server 2013 is an enterprise project management (EPM) application in which all data is stored in a SQL Server database. This EPM software application allows organizations to manage dozens, hundreds, or thousands of projects and
to manage dozens, hundreds, or thousands of resources as well. To use Project Server 2013, your PMs would each need a copy of Microsoft Project Professional 2013 and would use this software to plan their projects and to save and publish the projects
to Project Server. Your team members and executives would use their Internet Explorer to access the web-based user interface to Project Server 2013 called Project Web App, or PWA for short.
In PWA, your team members can use either The Timesheet page or the Tasks page to report progress on their task assignments. In PWA, your PMs would be able to see the updates from their team members and be able to approve those updates. Once
approved, the task updates are applied to the appropriate project so that the PM does NOT have to retype the updates. For executives, PWA offers the Project Center page which shows the portfolio of published projects in Project Server, where they can
see the current status of each project.
Beyond this, Project Server also includes a Business Intelligence Center where your Project Server administrator can create very customized reports for various audiences. In brief, there is a LOT of power in Project Server 2013. If you think
you might want to use it, you have two options: (1) Buy the software, install it yourself, set it up yourself, and maintain it yourself, or (2) contract with Microsoft to use Project Online, which is a hosted version of Project Server 2013 that is maintained
by Microsoft in the cloud.
You can learn even more about Project Server 2013 at the following link:

Project Server and Project Pro 2013 - Tasks not allowing Uncomplete Work to be rescheduled

We are current;y running Project Server 2013 on Premise and using timesheets to update task status. We are using the proactive task scheduling to let the allocations, work and dependencies drive the schedule to get accurate project finish dates.
We have several projects that give an error stating "Change would modify work entered by a team member" and "We can't make that change because Project Web App is set to only allow actual work to be entered by a team member through Timesheets
or My Work" when setting the status date and Updating the Project and selecting reschedule Uncompleted Work to start after the status date. We have determined that usually it is only a single task causing the error. we have tried to remove the resource
when no actuals have been entered but we get the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paul,
Looks like the settings "Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" has been enabled on your PWA (under Server Settings >> Task Settings and Display).
But the setting is used to prevent any updates to actual work from project pro, and will throw the error you mention above, if a PM tries to update the actual work.
I am not sure why the "Rescheduling of uncompleted work" would thrw this error, but worth checking that setting.
Cheers,

Project Server and Visual Studio Online

With the release of Visual Studio Online, will we be able link Project Server 2013 to it, as we can with our on-prem TFS server?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hello,
as Paul mentioned – out of the box there is no integration solution implemented as it was offered by MS for the on-prem versions of the two products.
Microsoft however offers a set of APIs for the online and on-prem versions of those tools which dependant on the use case can be used to achieve the integration (Project Server: CSOM, JSOM, odata; Visual Studio Online: odata).
You can custom code against those APIs or reuse standard products which are available on the market by partners which offer those scenarios between Visual Studio Online and Project Server on-prem and online (e.g. CS Connect by Campana & Schott -
http://www.campana-schott.com/en/technologies/cs-connect?qll=mf).
Please let me know if you need further information…

URGENT: OAM 10g server and webgate certificates query

Hi experts,
There is an OAM 10g environment. OAM Access Server and Identity Server is installed and up and running. OAM servers are in CERT mode. So to install webgates residing in different machines from OAM servers, can we use the same OAM Access Server certificates for WebGate certificate while installing WebGate?
Thanks
IDM Team.
Edited by: 898990 on Mar 13, 2013 1:38 PM

Figured it out. The OAM proxy (AccessServerConfigProxy @port 5575) for 10g webgates was configured to listen in cert mode. I had to switch it to open mode. Not sure how it got switched, but got the webgate install going for now. Thanks.

URGENT : MS SQL Server and SAP BW 3.5 Connection problem....

Hello All,
How ya all doin ?
I got job as a fresher, and now we are facing some problem here with
the datasource creation / generation. We have already generated views
& DSs for some tables, for some views we can see the data in the
datasource in the BW datasources but for some views it is giving
information NO DATA IN THE TABLE for that we can see the data in the
DB Table in MS SQL Server using select ......
Kindly help with this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance....
Best Regards....
Sankar Kumar

Hello Sankar,
Thanks...
For Varchar(500) you can try this way.
When you are getting data from DBConnect, include that VARCHAR(500) field in view (so this includes this field to be in transfer structure). But don't map any transfer rules for this field (This avoids the problems to be raised by DB Connect).
Create a Start Routine in the Transfer Rules. In this routine, you can access your VARCHAR(500) field. (I don't know what is your requirement for VARCHAR(500) field with respect to reporting perspective.)
One way is create 9 InfoObjects with char(60). Then parse the varchar(500) field and assign to InfoObject1, InfoObject2 so on....
Another way is, create a table using se11. With key fields to identify individual comments, comment Line number and actual comment. Parse varchar field and insert into this table. Based on your requirement either create a generic extractor using this table and load the data into ODS. Then you can join this ODS and rest of the data ODS and display. or write an ABAP program to show as report using this table...
Hope this helps,
GSM.

ACS Server and Downloading Certificate for LDAP External DB

Hello,
We have a Cisco ACS appliance version 3.3 (I know, it is older).
We have a cert7.db file located on an FTP server ready for the ACS appliance to download so it will use secure ldap.
No matter how we enter the information to download the certificate, it returns the error: The server name or address could not be resolved.
We are trying to use the IP address (so name resolution should not be an issue), but just cannot get the darned thing to work. We can FTP from any other machine to the server using a dos prompt - credentials should not be an issue and neither should the starting directory - which is /.
Anyone know what I might be missing?
Joel

Did you ever figure this one out ? I may have the same type issue.

PS2013 - Creating a new instance of Project Server does not run and hangs in "Waiting for Resource"

Hi,
In my Project Server 2013 environment I created an instance of Project Server which is running in a notebook Hyper-V Windows 2012 Server with 11 GB, 4 threds, 3 GHz, one box configuration with complete version of SQL Server 2012 with SP1, nothing trial.
PS and SPS 2013 updated with Cumulative Update of Dec 2013.
I want to create a new empty instance in the same port 80 with a different URL or in the port 90 creating a new web application.
Whatever option I choose, when I try to create the instance of the Project Server it hangs in "Waiting for Resource" status. No Event Viewer, no hanged timer Jobs, all services running, all pools and sites started and I found out nothing in the
SharePoint Logs. After every attempt I return the server snapshot to the former state.
The Project Server and SharePoint continue to work normally.
Any hints where should I look to solve this issue?
Thank you.
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Ricardo,
so, the only clue I can find in your posting is around the web application.
if you want a 2nd PWA instance on the same web application (this presums you have one already, working, right?).
all you really have to do is give it a different "pwa" name - like "Test" or some such and use a unique project database name : Test_ProjectServerData
there is much more you could do, for isolation into a private content database for example.
to use a different port, then you need to setup a web application on a different port and proceed as above, selecting that web app to start from.
if the basic action of new pwa site provision is not working, then it may suggest there is something systemmically wrong with the setup.
let us know,
Thanks, Eric S. Pcubed

Project Server certificate authentication

I need to know if MS Project Server 2013 requires client-side certificate authentication so that I can implement correctly the authentication part in my client app that needs to access the REST APIs of Project Server, and handle accordingly the server's
certificate.
Thanks in advance.

what is the error occurred when the custom PSI app connects?
can you upload the ULS logs here for research?
What is the user account format you specified in the code for authentication?
For proper authorization, the “user logon account” in PWA for the user needs to be changed from domain\username to the claims token (e.g.
'I:0#.w|mybusinessdomain\ewmccarty').
It requires you to manually call the UpnLogon method of
“Claims to Windows Token Service”. if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
{ var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity; }
if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
Than you need to extract UPN-Claim from the identity.
Upload the verbose log if possible.
Did you see this?

Project Server 2010 (PWA Timesheet) Error

Hello,
I am an administrator for Project Server and had a resource submit a timesheet in error. The timesheet was approved at the time and recalled by the resource at the same time. When the resource had tried to recall, they received back an error. I delegated
as the resource and tried to recall it as the user but it gets stuck with the green loading picture and never moves past that. It seems the status update was accepted when it got approved and now the timesheet is "stuck". From the user's standpoint,
it shows only as "Submitted" in their Timesheet status, but somehow it does not let me delete the timesheet. The error received is saying Invalid object, timesheet failed/blocking correlation. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Can't seem
to fix this error.
This is the error i get in return:
Timesheet:

Is the Test and Production in the same domain. If they are not, then the SIDs associated with the SQL accounts may look the same but they are not. At times, I have had to recreated accounts when in different domains.
I would also use PowerShell cmdlets and see if it finds any issues, such as Test-SPContentDatase.. Validate the SharePoint content databases, because if not setup properly the Provisioning will fail.
Also check these properties.
$web=get-spweb http://prodproj01/pwa
$Web.AllProperties[“PWAURL”] ### see what the value is.. you may have to blank it out, specially if it is pointing to a different URL
Here is how to fix.

PS2013 - When creating a new instance of Project Server hangs in 'Waiting for resources' status

Hi,
I have one instance of Project Server 2013 fully operational and I tried to duplicate the instance to make some tests. As I know the issue of using the same Content Database of Project Server in the same Server Farm, I used the powershell backup/restore/dismount
and mount the content database to change the site IDs to avoid index duplication. The Project server database was a regular SQL backup and restore in another database.
I created a new Web App in the port 90 as show below.
Then I included the Content database of Project Server as separated DB from SharePoint for this new SharePoint -acme90 and I tried to create the new instance. The creation hanged in "Waiting for Resources" status.
To make another check excluding the reuse of the SharePoint-80 I tried to create another instance both in the SharePoint-80 where is the working instance and in the SharePoint-90, everything default and again they all hanged in Waiting for Resource.
If I try to create the instance using PowerShell I got the following error:
PS C:\Users\epm_setup> Mount-SPProjectWebInstance -DatabaseName Test_EPM -SiteCo

How should I solve the hanging status of creation of the instance? As they are in Hyper-V I can go back using one snapshot.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
Thank your for your interest in this case.
I checked for running and crashed PWA jobs and deleted all of them just after restoring the snapshot and tried to create the new instance in the new web app in port 90 (besides the existing and working instance in port 80), but again it hanged in "waiting
for resources". There is not any timer job hanging, no error in event viewer or in log. So the error is well before working with cloned dbs.
Answering your questiion, I am working all on 2013. My intention is backup one instance of the port 80 and copy to the instance of port 90, changing of course the url and the index of the content db of SharePoint. The process I used was:
Create a new web app in port 90, creating a new SharePoint_Content_2 on a
http://server:90 site.
Created the top level site called Portal using the Team Site template.
Create a new content db for new instance of Project Server named EPM_Content_2 using Central Admin.
Backup content db from port 80 instance of Project Server and restore to this EPM_content_2 using PowerShell cmd.
Dismounted and mounted this Project Server content db to create new index for existing sites to avoid index conflicts.
Backup the Project Server DB from port 80 using SQL backup and restored as ProjectWebApp2 db for port 90 instance.
Tried to create a new instance of Project Server
http://server:90/pwa on web app of port 90 using the ProjectWebApp2 db and using the same app pool of the other instance. But as in the previous case, it hang out in "Waiting for resources".

Project Server 2013 - Cannot Create Site

When creating and publishing a project, Project Server is set up to create a site URL as part of the process. Since the middle part of this week 12/16/14 this functionality
stopped working and we need it to be working.
Here are the error messages and logs pulled from Project Server and SharePoint Central Admin

A queue job has failed. This is a general error logged by the Project Server Queue everytime a job fails - for effective troubleshooting use this error message with other more
specific error messages (if any), the Operations guide (which documents more details about queued jobs) and the trace log (which could provide more detailed context). More information about the failed job follows. GUID of the failed job: aa2d518a-1787-e411-80e9-001dd8b71f51.
Name of the computer that processed this job: bbe43e90-a923-40ac-8ca7-e8953ab95807 (to debug further, you need to look at the trace log from this computer). Failed job type: CreateWssSite. Failed sub-job type: CreateWssSiteMessage. Failed sub-job ID: 1. Stage
where sub-job failed: (this is useful when one sub-job has more than one logical processing stages).
Any assistance you can provide at this point will be key as our services are impacted with this error.

Hi Mike. Have you changed / modified the project site template recently? If you set the EPT to use the default project site template does it work? Paul

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.

something wrong with your SSL certificate or its settings
import the certificate to the Certificate store of the crawler and in SharePoint Cert Store [Central Admin > Security > Manage Trust] upload the root certificate of
the repository

Project Server 2010 Active Directory Synchronization - duplicate Windows Name - Event ID 7734

Environment: SharePoint Server 2010, Project Server 2010, SP2, DEC 2013 CU (Farm Build number: 14.0.7113.5001)
Scenario:
Domain user has been added to the Active Directory group being synchronized with Project Server for the Team Members group.
That user has participated as a team member in numerous projects, added documents, been assigned tasks, typical project stuff...
Employee quits.
AD account is deleted. (NOT deactivated or moved into another OU)
Time passes...
Employee gets rehired. NEW AD account is set up: same display name, SamAccountName, email address, different GUID of course.
Daily Active Directory job runs again and throws event ID 7734 and the sync ends with a partial fail.
I understand why this is happening. Solutions I've found point me to deleting the Enterprise Object resource in Project Server and then rerunning the sync. Sure, this works BUT won't all of the previous documents, tasks,
etc. be disassociated from that user? If so, this is not ideal.
2 questions:
Is there a better way to deal with the fixing of the resource in Project Server to somehow link the old resource to the new resource allowing the sync to run successfully while still leaving the association to all old content intact?
How are other organizations dealing with rehires when they have been added as resources in Project Server? What is the best practice guidance from Microsoft on this? Are other companies not actually deleting AD accounts when users leave organizations
or are they putting them into a "ARCHIVE" OU or something like that? This happens at least half a dozen times a year at my company. We would like to keep our AD as clean as possible, but this appears to change our approach.
Any suggestion/guidance is appreciated.

For the question to relink the new account to the account which is already available in Project Server. You will have to update the WRES_AD_GUID to Null for the the Resource in MSP_RESOURCES table in the published database.
Whenever a users gets synchronized to the PWA his ADGUID, SAMAccountName, Display Name, Email Address and DepartmentName is Synchronized from AD to Project Server. When the user was deleted and recreated the ADGUID got changed. During the next sync, project
found the user with similar properties but different ADGUID which was updated in WRES_AD_GUID column in MSP_RESOURCES table. Hence it says that there is a duplicate account in the table with the same properties but a different ADGUID
Nullifying the WRES_AD_GUID column value in MSP_RESOURCES table should get the user synchronized to Project server in the next sync.
