Project Server queue monitoring

Is there a way to get notified when there is a Project Server queue job that fails and blocks correlation? In essence I want to know before end users call.

Hello,
You can monitor Project Server 2010 using SCOM:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff678247.aspx

And Project Server 2013 using SCOM:

Project Server Queue Error

Hi,
I'm receiving the following errors in my event log. How do I correct these?
Event ID 7757 - Queue System Restarting due to an unexpected error.
Event ID 7761 - An unexpeced exception occurred in the Project Server Queue. Queue type (Project Queue/Timesheet Queue): ProjectQ. Exception details: Root element is missing.
Thanks,
DP

Hi,
The issue has been resolved. I noticed many of the jobs were created prior to today. I had several failed attempts at provisioning the PWA site (due to topology/version issues). However, the jobs must have stayed in the database from those
failed attempts. I did not rename the database or site when attempting to re-provision the new PWA site. I have since deleted all of the old jobs and now there are no more errors or jobs waiting to be processed.
Thanks,
DP

How do I enable the "Retry Job" and "Cancel Job" icons on the Project Server Queue?

Judy Washington

Hello,
if you select a job they should become enabled (depending on the job status).

[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.

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

Hi Paul,
We are using a third party tool called UMT Project Essentials 2012, recently we have removed the tool from sharepoint central admin and uninstalled from the server.
We tried deleting some missing assemblies features web parts which are referencing to that tool but still we are not able to start the workflow and the same issue persists.
below are the log file for your reference.

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.

Hi cochocip,
your projectDataSet has no custom field (required) set
The md_prop_uid is the uid for this custom field).
If your custom field is not based on lookup table, you can use a code like this:
Log to CustomFields webservice
Get Custom field's md_prop_uid using ReadCustomFields.....
and add this code after
// Make changes
// - Note: Task 0 is the summary task which can't be changed.
projectDs.Task[1].TASK_NAME += " Changed";
WebSvcCustomFields.CustomFieldDataSet newCF = customFieldsWS.ReadCustomFieldsByMdPropUids(new Guid[] {
p_md_prop_uid }, false);
WebSvcProject.ProjectDataSet.TaskCustomFieldsRow a = projectDs.TaskCustomFields.NewTaskCustomFieldsRow();
a.SetDUR_FMTNull();
a.SetFLAG_VALUENull();
a.SetINDICATOR_VALUENull();
a.SetNUM_VALUENull();
a.SetDUR_VALUENull();
a.SetDATE_VALUENull();
a.CUSTOM_FIELD_UID = Guid.NewGuid();
a.MD_PROP_UID = p_md_prop_uid;
a.MD_PROP_ID = newCF.CustomFields[0].MD_PROP_ID;
a.PROJ_UID = p_prjDS.Project[0].PROJ_UID;

a.FIELD_TYPE_ENUM = newCF.CustomFields[0].MD_PROP_TYPE_ENUM;

   a.TEXT_VALUE = p_value;

case 15: //number
   a.NUM_VALUE = Convert.ToDecimal(p_value);
   break;
case 4: //DAte
   a.DATE_VALUE = Convert.ToDateTime(p_value);
   break;
   default:
projectDs.TaskCustomFields.AddTaskCustomFieldsRow(a);
where p_value is the value that you want save in this field.
I hope this code can help you

Falied "Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App" in Project Server 2013

Hi
I'm trying to use the PS2013's capability for generate SSAS Cubes; but after I execute
the steps described on “Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj943761.asp)” the only thing
achieved is that the state being "Processing…" and the log:
===== Initiating OLAP database build process =====
[10/11/2013 2:48 PM] Cube build request message has been added to the Project Server queue
When I check the jobs, the one who is associated with the cube creation is on "Succeeded" state but the OLAP database is never created. There is no evidence I think on the Sharepoint log.
For notice:

Seems like an error occurred during site collection provisioning with the project server features. The provisioning process was interrupted from a system error and doesn't recovered after system restart.
I just created and provisioned a new site collection and everything is working now.

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

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

Hi Alexander,I have seen that error when the workflow manager has not been registered correctly with the PowerShell command - that should be in the docs referenced - or
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj663115.aspx. Let me know if that doesn't appear to be the issue here and I can dig deeper. Best regards, Brian

This might be an issue of the SQL instance alias.
Hope this helps.

Action 15.0.0.1 of Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Upgrade.FullFarmDependentProjectDatabaseSequence failed

Hi
I try to upgrade a Project Server 2010 environment to 2013. When I run
upgrade-spprojectwebinstance
it fails with:
Action 15.0.0.1 of Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Upgrade.FullFarmDependentProjectDatabaseSequence failed
Anyone seen this error?
Thanks

Hi Xtenser
try to check the ULS log. There might be a hint, that there is a blocking job in the Project Server Queue. This can block the upgrade process.

Project Server 2010 - Manage Queue anomalies

Morning All,
I'm currently experiencing an odd situation with the Manage Queue function in our Project Server. For the entire year I've been using PS the Manage Queue has never consisted of much more than a couple of projects awaiting check-in.
I logged on last week and saw that timesheets are now in the queue. This is particularly odd as we don't use timesheets so I'm unsure why these are now showing in the queue.
The screen shows the following:
Queue Type = timesheet
Entry Time = 1am
Complete Time = blank
Project Name = N/A
Job Type = either Archive Custom Fields, Archive System Settings or Archive Resources
Job State = waiting to be processed
Percentage Complete = 0%
Owner = SVC_SPFarmadmin
This week it's also trying to archive projects. Everything is as above except Project Name isn't blank and Job Type says Archive Project.
I'm the administrator for PS and (as far as I know) I've not made any changes that would cause these to now be queueing.
I was wondering if anyone might know why this is happening, if it will cause any major problems and if there's a way to stop this occuring. Everyone here is as confused as I am as to what's going on.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Clair.

This issue might need detailed troubleshooting, I would suggest you raise a support case with Microsoft.
