Project Server No project update after timesheet approval

Hi,
I work with Project Server 2013, I can create and schedule projects, assign ressources, fill
in the timesheet and save it for approval.
I'm using the
Single Entry Mode
When ressources update theire TimeSheet (approved) and I check my project in project web access, I do not see any progress (0% completed)
Does someone know why my project is not updated?
Thanks

Hi Slim,
Note that once the timesheet with SEM activated is submitted, there are 2 approvals: from the status manager (project plan owner) and from the timesheet manager of the resource. The project plan will be updated once the status manager approved the task update
AND published the project plan.
Thus you have to check that the status manager (and not only the timesheet manager) correctly approved the update and also that he published the project plan for MS Project Pro (or eventually from PWA).
If it is still not working, you could check the PWA queue for potential error messages related to the task update approval and/or project publish job.
Please tell us if it helps.
Hope this helps,

Project Server or Project Online

Since we do not have SharePoint and it's not coming soon, what options do we have for Project Server or Project Online? Will either work without SharePoint?
The biggest need for project management is to allow the staff assigned to tasks to be able to update their portion of the project. More and more of our project managers are using MS Project Professional at their desks. Any recommendations?

Doug:
Project Online/Project Server are SharePoint applications. You cannot have one without the other. If you are not familiar with these technologies, I suggest that you consider at least discussing your direction with a certified partner. It may be that you
can accomplish what you want using Project Pro and SharePoint online with Project Online. You can synchronize an individual Project with a SharePoint task list and users can update their assignments in SharePoint. If you need Enterprise features, cross-project
reporting, resource management and the like, Project Online is the way to go.

Project Server 2013 - Project Plan crashes frequently

Team,
We are using EPM , and everytime we update the project plan using enterprise project, the plan crashes and it does not allow me to publish the plan on the Project server.
Please suggest solution for the above
We are using Project Server 2013
Regards
Vidhya

Vidhya --
First of all, is your Project Server 2013 system updated with the latest Cumulative Updates and/or with Service Pack 1 (just released yesterday)? If not, I would strongly suggest that you update your system and your copies of Microsoft Project 2013
with Service Pack 1 at the earliest date possible.
Second, regarding this project in particular, I would strongly suspect that this project is corrupted. To resolve the corruption, you will need to use the Save for Sharing feature in Microsoft Project 2013. To do this, right-click anywhere on
a ribbon tab in Microsoft Project 2013, such as the Tasks tab, and then select the Customize Quick Access Toolbar item on the shortcut menu. In upper left corner of the Project Options dialog, click the Choose Commands From pick list and select
the All Commands item. In the list of commands on the left side, select the Save For Sharing item and click the Add button to add it to the list on the right. Click the OK button when finished.
To use the Save for Sharing feature, do the following:
Open the enterprise project in question.
Click the Save for Sharing button in the Quick Access Toolbar.
In the Save dialog, save the MPP file to a location where you can find it easily, such as your computer Desktop, for example.
Close the MPP file.
Reopen the MPP file.
Click File > Save As and then save the project.
When the Save operation is done, try publishing the project.
Please let us know if this helps.

I have searched the internet but most similar issues revolve around the resource center. I did find one person who just backed up the databases and provisioned a new site with success, but this has not worked. I am using the farm admin account, but all users
get this issue.
Any one got any ideas?

How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2010 project file that includes the view?

Hi, this question has been answered for 2013. The answer here suggests that it can be done in 2010.
See:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/3affdc4f-36bf-4381-8b75-27c73465efd4/action?threadDisplayName=how-can-i-create-a-url-for-a-pwa-for-ms-project-server-2013-project-file-that-includes-the-view
Who knows how?
Regards
Sander

Hi Sander,
As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.
Hope this helps,

I want to break inheritence and create unique permissions in a Project Server 2010 project site list/library.

Some Project Managers want to restrict permissions on certain lists or libraries in their Project Server 2010 project site. However, when I have done this for them, by breaking inheritence to the parent site and then removing/adding users with unique
sharepoint permissions, it seems that when the project schedule is published, some of the newly created permissions are lost.
I have tried creating a SharePoint group at the project site level and then applied it with specific permissions (eg. Contribute) to the list/library and this seems to work better but I haven't been able to confirm yet if this will work in the
longer term.
Does anyone know what is the best method to break inheritence and set up unique permissions on a list in a Project Server 2010 project site that will not be lost when the project schedule is published?
Thanks
Peter

Thanks Lynda
I am aware that I can disengage the entire permissions sychronisation using that setting but that is not what I want to do. I just want to be able to break the inherited permissions on individual document libraries or lists on specific Project Sites
so that I can restrict access to nominated people.
My issue is that when I do this, I find that some of the amended permissions disappear from time to time. It seems to be related to when the schedule is published. They
don't revert to the inherited permissions, just some of the people who I have given direct access to no longer have access.
Im just trying to find out the best way to manage setting non-automated permissions on a single list or library in a Project Server project sites so the changes stick.

After installing Project Server 2013 (without updating SharePoint Server 2013 SP1))

I am facing the problem while opening project web app. I configured the SharePoint 2013 and project server 2013. Here is the detail what I performed the steps:
OS Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint server 2013 version
15.0.4420.1017, Project Server 2013 version
15.0.4454.1000. SharePoint configured and running successfully. After project web app site provisioning successfully completed. I got the below error.
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WebParts.PWAPart' from assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' cannot reduce access.
I run this psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force. But still getting same error.
Previous steps:
Earlier I had also tried to install SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 "3823428". After the installation SP1 some of sharePoint site features suddenly stopped e.g: Cannot browse "Service Applications -->
Manage service applications" option even after re-start the server. This was previous error after upgrading SP1
"Method 'get_IsClientValid' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices,
Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation"
Anyone can help me!!! Thanks...

hello,
For SP2013 and PS2013 to work properly on Windows Server 2012 R2 you need to use the SP1 install media for both, download SharePoint 2013 with SP1 and Project Server 2013 with SP1

After Project Server 2013 SP1 update (without updating Sharepoint Server 2013)

I get this error entering the PWA root:
Derived method
'RequiresWebPartClientScript' in type
'Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WebParts.PWAPart' from assembly
'Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' cannot reduce access
SharePoint Server 2013 version: 15.0.4420.1017
Project Server 2013 version: 15.0.4569.1506
There is no SP1 uninstall process? Totally lost!

Hi Ximet,
If you go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage Servers in this Farm. Do you see Upgrade Available for the servers.
If they show Upgrade Available, can you run the SharePoint Config Wizard one more time or you can also try running the command "psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force"
Just curious to know if the issue is because the binaries have not been updated properly.
In case the issue persists and is impacting your business, I would suggest that you raise a support ticket with Microsoft so that we can further assist you on the case.
Cheers! Happy troubleshooting !!! Dinesh S. Rai - MSFT Enterprise Project Management

Project Server 2013-Tasks updates not replicating on schedule page

Hi,
We have updated the custom fields data in MyTasks.aspx page, but those changes are not updating on Schedule.aspx page evnthough those tasks are approved.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Thank You,
Kusuma

Prasanna explained how to do this using a Macro, and he also points out the perils. What happens when you have two resources assigned to the task? If User A enters a value of A and User B enters a value of B? Which value would you have appear at the task
level?
You can ask the system to roll down values from Task to Assignment, however you cannot ask the system to rollup values from the Assignments to the Task level without providing custom logic to handle the all of the potential possibilities.
Between Prassanna and Barbara, you have a comprehensive answer, I am simply trying to help you understand their replies. The key to understanding this is the "one-to-many" relationship between tasks and assignments. In practice, you might have a policy of
"one assignment per task," but that is not typical, and there is no way for Microsoft to guess what is supposed to happen to your custom task/assignment fields when one assignment value does not match another assignment value on the same task.

Project Server 2010 - Applying CUs after SP2?

I am taking over support of a development environment for Project Server 2010 and would like to update it to a more recent level of CU. We have one DB server, and all other components are on one additional server.
Current levels from the Control Panel: MS Proj Server 2010 14.0.7015.1000, MS Sharepoint Server 2010 14.0.7015.1000, Service Pack 2 KB2687452 applied.
Farm Info: Config DB version: 14.0.6134.5001.
1. Can I apply the April CU and it will include all the previous CUs since SP2? Do I need to install the CUs one at a time?
2. For each CU, do I install the Sharepoint component first, then Project?
3. I keep reading information about problems with SP1 but I don't see it in my Control Panel as installed (just SP2.) Can I install Feb or April 2014 CU and avoid whatever issues were happening with July 2013 CU and SP1?
4. Any advice on next steps is greatly appreciated.

Hi LD2009,
here are the answers to your questions:
Q1: The CU April 2014 has included all fixes since SP2. So you don't need to install older CUs.
Q2: You don't need seperate packages for SharePoint and Project Server. There is a Rollup-Package which updates both SharePoint
and Project Server together. You can find it
here.
Q3: You must enshure that SP2 was installed and deployed correctly. In the Central Administration check if all databases were upgradet to the latest Level. If not, run psconfig.
If you have the BCS Service configured then you have to run the following PS script (otherwise the BCS database would remain in the compatibility mode):
(Get-SPDatabase | ?{$_.type -eq “Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SharedService.BdcServiceDatabase”}).Provision()
For all other issues we need more details.
For more informations read the blog posts from
Brian Smith and
Stefan Goßner.
I hope this helps.

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.

Project Server 2010 CU Update

Hi,
Currently we have February 2013 Update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2767794 14.0.6134.5000 available in the farm. Can we directly install April 2014 Release?
Thanks
srabon

Yes, you can. While there is no "CU" for Project Server in April 2014, there are two hotfixes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2878259
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2878266
Note under the Prerequisites section, they just require SP1 or SP2.

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,

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:

Hi,
From error log it seems you have some custom or thrid party web part activated in your application and that web part is not able to load which might causing those pages to get corrupt.
As a fix can suggest you below to two thing to check
1) Remove that "FirePoint.SharePoint.RssViewerWebPart" from your environment and try to access those PWA pages again.
2) Even after removing above web-part solution does not fix this issue, as it is quality env can you try to disconnect and reconnect the share-point farm . Then try to access those pages again.
Share us the latest update and your finding on this issue.
