Project Server - Calculate data between views

Hi,
I've some views in PS, and some view have calculated fields, but it need another list's data.
How can I reference another list's field in a calculated field?
How can I summarize an another list in a view's field?
Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I'm afraid this is not very clear to me. First of all, which Project Server version are you working with? When you say list, are you talking about a dorp-down list for a custom field? Is it project custom field or task custom field? Can you give more detail
about what you are trying to do?
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2013 PWA resource view

Hi all,
Is there any way to see the detail information of a resource in PWA? In Project Professional 2013, we can check all the task\project the resource is assigned and all the planned work for the resource under resource usage view. However, we can not find it
in PWA. Any suggestion?
Regards,
Anna

Hi Anna,
From the resource center, you can select one or more resources and check for their availability. You'll have a graph will all resources assignments by time periods and projects with a grid for the details.

How to pass data between views using Flex for mobile?

Hi,
In my 1st view, I have set of images. Each image represents a product category. When I click on an image, it has to show my 2nd view which is a list. This should show all the products linked to this category.
I saw few examples where the 1st view is a list. Select an item in a list shows the details in the next view.
But what I need is, I need to know which image is clicked in my 1st view (ie) Home page. This id needs to be passed to my 2nd view to retrieve the data for the clicked image (clicked product category).
Can anyone help me in this?

Chellaa2011,
If I understand you correctly, you can pass data to the next view by passing the second parameter to the pushView method.
check out: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/ViewNa vigator.html#pushView()
I've written similar apps in the past and found that a singleton class alleviates some of these issues. If you use a singleton to track currently selections all your views can access the same data without having to pass and return data from each other.
Hope this helps,

Problem while transferring data between views

HI,
I have been assigned to a requirement wherein i am working first time in web dynpro. So i followed all the pdf training document for developing application. Now there is a requirement wherein have created 2 views and its required nodes and i have attached those 2 views to window with necessary plug binding. Its for travel report . On first view i have one selection screen and ALV display for header data. Now i am using using components for alv which is defined both in controller as well as in view. Also i am suing onclick property of that alv. Now the thing is that there are 2 nodes respectively HEAD and ITEM. HEAD node would get displayed on first screen and based on selection of one row from that ALV, its corresponding item data would get displayed in another view for which i have written code in method of first view . From that method i am filling data based on raw selection and passing it to second view. The problem is i have done necessary binding and pluging but still when i pass data from first view to second view dump get displayed saying that ITEM node not found for which i have added that ITEM node to both view first view and second view.still problem persist. As an RND i also removed table from second view and it was observed that control is flowing to second view it means there is no issue wid plug binding. Even when i removed alv from second view and put in first view then its working fine.What could be cause of this problem ? I am using ALV component SALV for first view and for second view i am using TABLE element of layout. Can i use same component for second view also ?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks
Parag

Hi,
You have to created a new method subscribing ON_LEAD_SELECTION event of the ALV, which will get triggered on selection of a row in the ALV.
Now, in the same method get the selected row data and write the logic to fill fetch the item details for the selected row and bind the item data to the ITEM node which you are going to display in second view. So as the item data is binded to the ITEM node, the data gets populated in the table ( which is there in second view ) .
DATA:         node_X    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
                    elem_X    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
                    stru_X      TYPE f_main=>element_X .
node_X = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_X ).
* get element via lead selection
elem_X = node_search_results->get_element( r_param->index ).
* get all declared attributes
elem_X->get_static_attributes(
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_X ).
depending on the stru_X values fetch the item data and bind the data to the ITEM node.

Hi,
If you are still facing the same issue follow the below steps:
1) Access PWA from your server
2) Download any built in report from Reports section (in your case
Project Server - Issue Data Project
Server - Risk Data) to your server.
3) Open report in excel, go to Data->Connections in Workbook Connection dialog open "Project Server - Issue Data" go to properties.
4) Here select tab 'Definition' under connection file remove tick for 'Always use connection file'
5) Tweak your connection string & tick save password option
6) Excel Services: Authentication Settings (suit yourself)
Now, save & publish on PWA, hope it works :)

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 2010 permissions granted through RBS are not flowing through to Project Sites.

Hi,
I have configured RBS as "The Project Owner is a descendant of the user via RBS" its working fine for Projects.
But users are facing access denied issue when working with project sites RBS is not working for project sites.
Can any one Help me How can i grant permissions Automatically for project sites also as same like projects is it possible ?
The Members in Executives group can see all projects in organization but same like can they see all project sites ?
I have found one blog of
RaymondRis he is recommending to do it manually as its not possible to grant Project site permissions Automatically.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/raymond_ris/archive/2013/05/09/project-server-2010-permissions-granted-through-rbs-are-not-flowing-through-to-project-sites.aspx
Thank You, Kumar KSV

Kumar,
The permissions to project sites is not cotrolled by the RBS, as you have discovered. It is controlled by the Security Category permisisons, and the settings if the permssions are auto synced. The permissions work like this:
Project managers who have published a project or who have Save Project permissions on a project are added to the Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Team members with assignments in a project are added to the Team members (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Other Project Server users who have View Project Site permission on a project are added to the Readers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
As long as you use the Auto Sync of permisisons for project sites, i do not think there is any work around.

Project site security best practise - project server 2010

I have following requirement
environment:
project server 2010
project sites created out of project site templates. So they follow project server security model.
requirement:
the are users who do not needs to see any thing except the content on project site. The user does not need to access project \pwa
Question:
what is the best approach
create sharepoint based groups for the projectsite?
Create project server based group?

pgshah570,
If you are using the automatic synchronization for project site permissions, then the permissions are granted based on the following rules:
Project managers who have published a project or who have Save Project permissions on a project are added to the Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Team members with assignments in a project are added to the Team members (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Other Project Server users who have View Project Site permission on a project are added to the Readers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
If you are NOT using the automatic synchronization, then project sites are like any other SharePoint Sites, and you can use SharePoint groups or AD groups. I recommend using AD groups to grant permissions. The Project Server Security groups in this scenario
do not have any impact on Project Site permissions.

Calculate Dates for Last week and next three weeks

Hi,
I have a report where I need to calculate dates between last week and the next three weeks (not counting current week). I'm familar with the first part, it could be done by using the LastFullweek function but not sure how I can avoid the current week and calculate the next three weeks.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

... and here are a few more...
Last Week...
IF {TableName.Date} IN
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/7/1900#)
To
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate) -1, #1/7/1900#)
THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE
The week before...
IF {TableName.Date} IN
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate) -1, #1/7/1900#)
To
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate) -2, #1/7/1900#)
THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE
And the week before that...
IF {TableName.Date} IN
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate) -2, #1/7/1900#)
To
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate) -3, #1/7/1900#)
THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE
and of course all 3 weeks together...
IF {TableName.Date} IN
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/7/1900#)
To
DateAdd("ww", DateDiff("ww", #1/7/1900#, CurrentDate) -3, #1/7/1900#)
THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE
If you want the 1st day of the week to be Monday instead of Sunday just change the date of #1/7/190# to #1/1/1900#

... anyone talking to MS Project server?

.... was just curious, especially now with CF8 and
cfexchange, is anyone getting CF (any version) to talk to MS
Project server (basic data operations, even just read data)?
Any info or details you have is appreciated!
Many thanks,
Rich

I'm not familiar with Project Server, but I would bet there
is an API that could be consumed with CF8's .NET
integration.

Can't create data analysis views in windows 7/project server 2007

In Project Server 2007, when trying to create a new Data Analysis view or edit an existing one, we get the following error: "An error was encountered in loading the page". Using the F12 developer tools, I tracked it down to the following line:
"cn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection"), and in javascript the more specific error is "Automation server can't create object".
I assumed it was a browser permissions issue, and so I ensured the site is in trusted sites, and set the security level to low, but the same error is still occurring.
This error only occurs for users who are on Windows 7. This page works fine for users on Vista. The Windows 7 box has IE 9, the Vista box has IE 7.
Is Project Server 2007 supported in Windows 7/IE 9? Is there another security setting to look for?
edit: I have also checked the registry on the client and confirmed that adodb.connection is registered, and the dll exists.
Thanks,
Mike G.

Hi Mike,
If you refer to
this link, IE9 is supported by PS2007. Anyway, in the F12 developer tool, try to set the default browser to IE8. Also add the PWA url to the compatibility site settings in IE.
Hope this helps,

Unable to view Data Analysis in Project Server 2007

Hi,
I am currently using Project server 2007. One of our PM is not able to view Data Analysis information which are available to other PM.
It says 'The query cannot be processed. Either the user doesn't have access to Analysis service Database or the database doesn't exist"
We checked the following.
Tools >
Internet options > Security tab > Click Trusted Sites >
Custom Level > Search for Access data source across domains and its enabled.
Kindly advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi Nathik,
You should also check that the PM in question has not been granted specific permission. If he doesn't have the "View OLAP Data" and "View Data Analysis" permissions, he will not be able to use the data analysis. Also check
that the PWA URL is in the trusted site of IE. Finally press CTRL F5 to clean IE cache. Check also that the OLAP cubes were successfully built.
A good way for you to debug is to use your admin account on his machine to see if it is a permission issue or a IE setting issue.
Hope this helps,

Project server 2013----new custom field value is not synced between my work assignment view and project professional

Hi All,
I would like to add a new custom enterprise field in project server to caculate the effective work. I hope it can work as the default field "work" and "overtime work". And I add my custome enterprise field to my work assignment and the
related details view. User can update the values in "my task" but after PM accept the updates, these values are not synced to the project center as well as project professional. Any idea?
Regards,
Anna

Yes, I am saying that the PM cannot see the updated values in the enterprise project in Microsoft Project 2013. It is a task custom field. No errors for it. Would you please help create a task custom field on your side to see whether you can reproduce
this issue? After creating the field, please add it to the "My task" related views so that project members can update the value for the task when they update the task information under "my tasK" page. After that, open the project plan as
project manager to see whether you get the updated value. Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Anna

How to calculate Planned % Complete of project server data?

Hi All,
I have got project server data in SQL server Analysis service. We have one Time Phased Assignment cube there.
This cube gives budget cost, baseline cost, baseline work etc, but it does not contain % complete or planned % complete.
Actually I need to create a time series schedule variance report, for that only I'm trying to find % complete or planned % complete.
I got some formula from net for the same.
SV=EV-PV
EV= Budget at completion * % Complete
PV= Budget at completion * Planned % Complete
% Complete= (Actual Duration/Duration)* 100
We don't have these values directly, so we used
% Complete=(Actual work/Baseline work) * 100
I have used baseline cost instead of Budget at completion.
So, I could find value of EV. But, for finding PV, I need to Planned % complete. How can I find it? Can anyone please suggest.
Regards,
Julie

Alternatively, you could use the approach outlined here. Somwhat simpler than using EV.
Will require making sure the Status Date is accurate within projects.

Project Server 2010 - Different Schedule Dates for Different Users -- Same File

We have an issue regarding users viewing the same schedule, different machines.
The PMs have a schedule that was built in 2007 by the offshore team. We are running Project Server 2010 corporate, and they the PMs here on site have Project Professional 2010. Within the last couple of weeks, the PMs have noticed changes in
the dates.
When I open the schedule, I see the expected dates rendered in both PWA and Project Professional. Both draft and published versions are the same regardless of where the schedule is opened for editing. There are two PMs managing the schedules.
One sees what I see--the expected dates. The other sees differences in dates--months, in fact. Scheduled end date is 10/22/2013. When the second PM opens the schedule, he sees a scheduled end date of 2/17/2014.
I advised them that the offshore team needed to upgrade to 2010 due to the differences between 2007 and 2010. Additionally, and I could be wrong, having the server run in compability mode for so long (the upgrade was done in May 2013), is not ideal.
(Offshore team has since updated to 2010.)
Any thoughts on what could be causing this issue? Corrupt version of Professional? Settings askew?
Thank you,
L.D.

My bad, I didn't know that you were not using Project Server.
Then the file might be corrupted.
Try the
XML export and the
save for sharing method to repair it.
Hope this helps,
