Project Server jobs going to "Waiting to be processed" state after resolving Error:1053 in virtual environment.

Hi all,
I am using project server 2007 in virtual environment. Before some time, my project server queue service was not starting & it gave Error: 1053. Then server team made some small changes in registry & resolved the problem. After that queue service
was in running condition. But when any job goes into queue, it processed the job first, then after some processing, it goes into "waiting to be processed", and after some time it again starts processing. So, the project server queue is working very
very slow. I restarted queue, event, sql, timer services, but no benefit.
In log it is showing "Queue unable to interact with SQL.".
Please Help....
Thanks.
Thanks & Regards Pradeep Gangwar

Project Server 2010 Jobs All 'Waiting To Be Processed'

Hello,
We have installed Project Server 2010 for evaluation and are running into an issue when creating new projects in the Project Center. The installation included SharePoint 2010 and is a single-machine install (i.e. DB and WFE on same machine).
We can access the site without any problem and when accessing the Project Center and electing to create a new project from Basic Project Plan template, the interface processes the request and then informs us that the request was taking a long time to process
and to check the Manage Queue Jobs interface for status.
Reviewing the queued jobs reveals four queued tasks for Project Create, Project Publish Notifications, Project Publish and Start Workflow, all with a Job State of 'Waiting To Be Processed'. When we originally ran into this issue, we realized that the
User Profile Synchronization Service was configured to run with the Network Service account and that the two relevant ForeFront Identity Manager services were not running. We had read that this may cause the queue to not process requests, so we reconfigured
the system to use a domain account and started the User Profile Synchronization Service Application (which in turn started the ForeFront Identify Manager services).
However, this did not help and the jobs (as well as new jobs) are still waiting to be processed. We don't see any errors listed in the queue and can't really find relevant errors in the SharePoint logs or event viewer.
Has anyone else run into this problem who can provide some insight? Thanks.
John

Another thing to check John, and you may well find evidence in the ULS logs, is that the queue service is really running. Just looking in Services isn't enough. When the queue service starts it will check for the presence of PWA sites within
each and every (probably just one) Project Service Application you have running. It will then spawn an extra process for each Service Application it finds that has one or more PWA instances. So you should always see at least two Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Queuing.exe
processes running within Task Manager -and if you just see one the looking in the ULS logs should give an indication why it didn't start up (re-starting will give you a fresh entry in the log - which will be easier than searching through lots of logs.
Best regards,
Brian.

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 2013 - Adding Enterprise Resouce additonal Assignemt attributes with AD sync programatically

I Have a project server 2013 environment (Sandbox right now but on its way to a production system.) and we have AD sync set up for our enterprise resource pool.
We have 2 situations:
1. AD only brings certain information over (Name, email etc) and leaves other information out: Which calendar to use, base cost rate, Resource departments, Time sheet approver (their manager)
2. IN AD we store the employee number and would like to map it to the External ID field. (And several other things need to happen - outlook out of office sync, resource can be leveled etc)
I have not seen a way "add" this information programmatically. Everything I see says open the resource in Project pro and update. when you have 10,000 resources manual updates and changes are not really practical. Ideally we would
be able to have some logic that looks at a table and as resources are added/updated the various fields are filled in as part of the "ad Sync job"
Question: Is this possible an has anyone done it? If so how?
Thanks
Tasks

Hi Bob,
Yes, you are right. Any extention will have to be custom code. PS operates the same in regards to what can be accessed via AD sync over the various versions. That part has not changed, how MS processes what it reads has changed over the
years.
However, another point for you, be very careful if you are really planning to add 10K users to your ERP via AD. This will be a very taxing endeavor for your systems.
I'm not aware of any technical limits, but you will run into practical limits with more than about 5K users in your ERP. You had better have a very large SQL server and lots of RAM in your SharePoint web and Project App servers. You had better
have more than 1 Project App server, etc... You will want to consider the impact to users when various parts of the system are loaded up with 10K resources. Design your Farm and PWA configuration accordingly or expect to wait a lot!
Don't expect to do this during business hours or you will kill all your users processing. AD sync jobs go in the project server Q and can take hours to process in large numbers like that, at least initially. Don't make any security changes of
any kind during business hours as these will trigger a "re-sync". Etc...
Please read everything here: Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronization (Project Server 2013)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819320(v=office.15).aspx
Other postings (Hey Stowe!) have referenced this as a starter:
http://ps2007adressync.codeplex.com/ I know this says 2007, but perhaps you can use this as a basis for understanding what's possible or how to approach. As I mentioned, the underlying mechanics on this point are the same.
Clearly you will want to use the PSI - which will give you access to almost everything you need. You may need to hook into the Event handlers after the AD sync runs or just run a batch process of your own.
Specifically, Outlook out of office can be accomplished by sync'ing with Exchange Server 2013. See the TechNet on that topic (near the other articles).
Resource can be leveled sounds like your custom job along with the EMP ID mapping.
Hope this helps,
Thanks, Eric S. Pcubed

Project Server 2010 PWA Provisioning Error - System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

Hi,
When migrating from a Prod Environment to a Test Environment using the Project Server 2010 5 Database backup and restore process (actually 6 DB's with the Project Sites DB), upon encountering a failure during provisioning the PWA Instance, we get the errors listed
at the base of this posting in our Event Logs.
To clarify what we have done already, we have:
1. Backed up the 6 databases from the Source Environment.
2. Removed the existing PWA_Content and PWS_Content (Project Sites) databases from the Target Environment Farm.
3. Restored the 6 databases in the Target Environment.
4. Given the SP Farm Service Account 'db_owner' rights to each of the 6 restored databases.
5. Added the PWA_Content and PWS_Content databases (exact same names) to the Target Environment.
6. Locked down (offline/stopped), all of the SharePoint Content databases in the Farm except for the PWA_Content database.
7. Run the PWA Provisioning process from the 'Project Server' SharePoint Service in Central Admin.
It is during the PWA provisioning that we encounter these errors.
As the Target Environment is for Test/Dev purposes, the SP Farm Service Account is setup to support all of the SharePoint Farm Services, is in the Local Admin Group of each of the Servers (App, WFE and DB), and is actually in the sysadmin
role on the DB Server.
Any suggestions on what is causing this denied access situation would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne

Project Server 2013: QueueUpdateProject2 fails with LookupTableItemInvalidLookupTable error

Hi,
We have a strange problem here using the newly introduced QueueUpdateProject2 PSI method in WebSvcProject. The server is running version 15.0.4481.1005 (Project Server 2013, March 2013 PU). Here's the minimum repro code:
projectService.CheckOutProject(projectUid, sessionUid, sessionDescription);
var projectDataSet = projectService.ReadProject(projectUid, DataStoreEnum.WorkingStore);
projectDataSet.Project[0].SetModified(); // Simplest repro
var jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
projectService.QueueUpdateProject2(jobUid, sessionUid, projectDataSet, false);
Unfortunately the QueueUpdateProject2 queue job always fails with error LookupTableItemInvalidLookupTable for this project. Here's the full error information as shown in PWA:

Project Server 2010 - Import Project Wizard - Local Resource Import Error

Using Project Server 2010 SP2 with admin rights when I encountered the following error:
Steps:
Upon importing a local mpp file with Import Projects Wizard
Mapped Resources. Some were mapped to enterprise resources and others were left as local.
Following completion of import process (mapped task fields, and save), the resources that were marked as "keep as local" were imported to the server as enterprise resources.
I have never encountered this issue with previous versions of project server and am wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue and if there is a patch? The error is consistently repeatable and I will check utilizing the account
of someone without admin rights to see if it happens there as well.
It appears that in proceeding to validation step, the import field is automatically defaulted to Yes when proceeding to step 2. If the user doesn't manually flag this back to No, then the resource is imported to project server.

Hi Luis,
I just ran a quick test and I couldn't reproduce your issue with PS2010 SP2. My local resources have been kept as local resources after the import process whereas the resources with a similar name than enterprise resources have been mapped with enterprise
resources.
Not sure which CU I have but I'd suggest you to upgrade to the
latest CU.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2013 - "An unknown error has occured"

Hi !
Whenever I navigate to Project Center in Project Server 2013 the credentials window pops-up continuously even after entering correct admin account and after several clicks on OK button in credential window it says "An unknown error has occurred".
This is happening at every links. Even at Resources, Tasks, Reports, etc.. Is this Project Server 2013 stable or still has bugs in it.
I recently installed March 2013 hotfix for Project Server but still no luck. In ULS or Event Viewer I didn't got any
relevant exceptions.
I am even unable to connect to Project Server from Project Professional.
Thanks & Regards.

"An unknown error has occurred" usually means that the browser cannot resolve some data or something is missing. This can be caused by many issues. One for instance is deleting projects, but timesheets are still referencing it. Many others. This
is one of the harder issues to resolve, because often you don't find anything in the ULS.
Seeing that this error is occurring everywhere on PWA, I would first try rerunning the "SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard". If this fails at any place, that will be the first thing to fix.

How to query Process Status from database in Project Server 2010

Hello All,
I am using Project Server 2010.
I need to query Process Status from SQL.
where can I find Process Status in Database.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
you will not be able to find this information in reporting DB - the only database queries are supported.
If you really want to go for an unsupported solution, you should be able to find related tables and how to join them in stored proc "MSP_WEB_SP_QRY_Statusing_ReadStatus" in published database.

The license state for the current server doesn't match the farm's license state

I am trying to build a development Server, to mirror our Production Server.
I have copied the Config_Database and WSS_Content from our Production Server to a Development Server that is on a separate network. I installed SharePoint 2010 and ran the Config Wizard, entered in the database server and chose the Config_database that I
copied over previously.
But I receive the error:
"The license state for the current server doesn't match the farm's license state"
Can anyone help me with this.

Project server 2010: job stuck in queue with state Waiting to be Processed (Sleeping)

Hi,
I have a job in the queue that is stuck. The job type is "TimeSheet Update Resource" and the job state is "Waiting to be processed (Sleeping)". This is happening with only one user. Other users can edit, save, and submit timesheets normally as it appears.
Can't figure out the problem! I tried restarting the queue and timer service with no success. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
George

Since you already identified issue is user specific, I think now you need to have a look in to ULS log to undestand really whats happening in the background.
Try editing the user from PWA>>>Server Settings>>Manager users
Click on the user and without making any change click on save, monitor the queue

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
llection http://acme02/epm -Lcid 1046
Mount-SPProjectWebInstance : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url:

   PSCmdletMountPwaInstance) [Mount-SPProjectWebInstance], SPCmdletPipeBindEx
ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Cmdlet.PSCmdletM
   ountPwaInstance
All SharePoint and Project Server services are running, all App Pools and sites are started at the IIS. I could not find a hanging timer job.
I cannot stop the hanged process or dismount the instances using Powershell since no instance created.
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".

Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

Hi All,
i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage.
i don't know why this type of problem is occur.
FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
project server 2013 online its giving error.
so please help me to solve this type of issue.
Thanks

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 2010] Maximum Number of Job processor Threads in the queue settings

Hello,
I have a farm with SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 installed. The farm contains:
2 web front end servers
3 application servers
Each servers has 4 processors
The SQL databases are installed on our database servers.
The Microsoft Project Server Queue Service 2010 is started on the 2 web front end servers and on 1 applicative server.
We have two instances of PWA are installed on this farm.
I have calculated that the number of availabe processors we could have on this farm is : 4 processors X 3 application servers (the ones where the project queue is started) = 12. Is that correct? I'm not sure of the definition of the applicaton
server that is used in
this article )
If I set the Maximum Number of Job Processor Threads (in the queue setting) to 2 per queue and per instance. We could have 2 Job processor X 3 application servers X 2 pwa instance = 12 threads to operate at the same time, is it correct?
If yes, do you think this is a too high number of threads?
Thanks for your help
Aline

Hi Aline,
These settings are for fine tuning the servers, and are only one of many performance parameters. If you notice the response from the server is slow, regarding Queues, then I would think about amending these upwards, but also with a careful eye on processor
utilisation. If you up the thread count and the system isn't any more performant, then I would look elsewhere for perf improvements. Before you do anything of course, baseline the performance of the system.
