Project Server Event Handler Installer

Hi!
I created my first Event Handler to the Project Server and my question is how can I create installer to this solution?
I'm looking for the best way to install solution to other farm, but I'm new in Project Server.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mykie

Hi Mykie,
To deploy a Server Side Event Handler, you have to do 2 things:
Install the Assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)
Link your assembly to the Event in Project Server
For the first operation, I would recommand to create a SharePoint WSP solution. It's the simplest way to deploy assemblys in a farm. Another possibility is to use GACUTIL to register the assembly, but it's not always possible in a production environment.
For the second operation, you have to associate your assembly to the Server Side Event:
(detailed procedure here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982976(v=office.15).aspx )
On the SharePoint Central Admin / Application Management / Manage Service Application / PWA / Manage / Operational Policies/ Server Settings/ Server Side Event Handler
Select the correct Event Handler
Copy and paste the assembly info: fully qualified name, order...
After that, the Handler is operationnal.
Hope it helps,
Sylvain

Project Server 2010 - PDP updates not triggering Project Server Events

Hello,
We're experiencing an issue whereby when a user updates a Project PDP, no update is triggered and reflected in the reporting database.
My question is, which Server Side Event Handler is responsible for picking up PDP changes (i.e. Changes to Enterprise Custom Fields)?
Can someone please assist?
Thanks in advance.
What we have configured and is working as expected...
Event: Reporting
Event Name: ProjectChanged, ProjectCreated, ProjectDeleted

There may be multiple reasons for this.
1. SharePoint timer Job is malfunctioning:
For this try restarting SharePoint timer Job. through SP Powershell:
Stop SPTimerv4 , Start SPTimerv4
2: SharePoint Cache is full:
Reset SharePoint Cache by deleting all XML files ( except cache.ini
) in SharePoint Cache located in System Drive\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\<GUID>
3: Check if Microsoft Project Server Event Service is running in Services.msc, try restarting it.

Do I *really* need a Service Connection Point in AD to complete a Project Server 2010 SP2 installation?

Hi all,
I have installed Project Server 2010 SP2 and run psconfig.exe
PSCONFIG is failing because it cannot set up a Service Connection Point in AD. I've checked in AD and the contains 'Microsoft SharePoint Products' does not exist. All the resolutions I can find suggest adding the container into AD.
The issue I have is that I have no control of the AD, and adding containers will take lengthily negotiation.
Is there any way of completing the installation and getting my site back without adding the container into AD?
Thanks in advance.

other solutions
1) check timer service see if it is running

2) check UAC (and the rest of the technet answers - some are listed below)

3) My workaround:I
run once again the command „PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures“  in
the “Bin” Folder as an administrator console session.In the moment I saw the staus “Configurationtask 5 of 6 is executed”
I start to run the command “net start SPTraceV4 & net start SPWriterV4 & net start SPAdminV4 & net start SPSearch4 & net start SPTimerV4” in a parallel administrator console session and after that the configuration task finished successfully.

4) Try running the psconfig.exe command a second time
5) had the same issue and called Microsoft support. Here is the fix:
Stop the "SharePoint 2010 Timer" service
Delete ONLY the xml files from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\216f8013-b78b-4e5b-8631-3a5f4c7277e8
Note: Do NOT delete the cache.ini file in this folder
Edit cache.ini and change to "1"
Start "SharePoint
2010 Timer" service
Run psconfig again: PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
6) Initially I tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272 but
it did not help (I re-implemented later).
I re-registered the DLL’s as perhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/da/winservergen/thread/b4bd0deb-45d0-4661-8c50-a2b45db41103 from

On the migrated SBS2011 PSCDiagnostic Log I found no entry to detect or start the services SPWriterServiceInstance and SPTimerServiceInstance.
I run once again the command „PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent

In

just opened another cmd window and copy/paste the sequence below when I saw the status “Configuration Task x of y” on the screen:
net start SPTraceV4
net start SPWriterV4
net start SPAdminV4

net start SPTimerV4
-Note SPSearch4 is disabled in our system…
Very awkward but it worked…
I implemented http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272 again.

Differences Between Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution in Project Server Events

Dear All,
Does anyone know the differences between Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution in Project Server?
In http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg204879(v=office.15).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg200978(v=office.15).aspx, they stated same definitions for both Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution.
Thank you.

Not entirely sure, but I'd guess they are the same. This is probably a relic of the old Portfolio Server which had Planner and Optimizer as separate modules. My guess is that some of that got grandfathered in to Project Server, but due
to functionality creep, ended up meaning pretty much the same thing.

ProjectUID selected from the reporting database from Project Server OnPublished event is taking some delay

Hi all,
I'm invoking a stored procedure from the reporting database from the project server onPublished event. I'm having some issues in getting the details of that particular project from the published event handler. This i noticed that there is some
delay is taking place in moving the data(project uid ) from the published to the reporting database .
My stored procedure select statement is as follows:
SELECT ProjectUID, ProjectName FROM MSP_EpmProject_UserView
　WHERE ProjectUID=value
This stored procedure is invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler where that particular projectuid is passed in that stored procedure.I have noticed that some delay is taking palce to move the data into the reporting database.
My stored procedure got invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler before the delay is complete. So the row selected from the stored procedure is alwys zero (0). Is there any other method to wait for repoting database
to get refreshed. Please help me .

Hi sabithad,
The issue you are facing is because of the conflict of permissions, event handlers always works through administrative user credentials whereas the project is open in edit mode by the logged-in user. And you are tyring to update custom field at the back
end with Administrative credentials, while project queue is in process by logged-in users credentials. Its not gonna work this way :)
The best option is to use Javascript on your PDP using CEWP, you can either build your complete logic in JavaScript and place that code on your PDP. OR you can use the combination of JavaScript and PSI and create a webpart to be placed on PDP.
below blog link willgive you directions to go ahead with, but for sure the solution to your query is
JavaScript :)

hope this helps.

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...

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 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.

How to handle PSW approval task in project server 2013 through declarative workflow VS 2013

Hello,
Plz explain in detail handling PSW approval task in project server 2013 through declarative workflow VS 2013
bcoz when using am posted on with this error when i try to approve the item
"This list item has not been created by the workflow.you cannot apply this content type"
any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks regards, Vignesh.

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?
