Release Resource from Project during closeout?

Hi,
How to release a resource from Project during project closeout. I found the following options, please suggest the procedure,
Case : 1. Created Requirement
2. Assigned Resource (Provisional)
3. Submit for Approval
4. Approver approves assignment.
Option A:
1: Update Requirement duration
2. Enter new End date
3. Subimit for Approval
4. Approver - Approves assignment
Option B:
1. Cancel resource requirement
Is there any way to release the resources from project. This should reduce the resource available hours ?
Regards,
AK

Hi,
I also strongly recommend you to read the following material. It is long, I know, but covers almost everything, including your questions:
Working with the Development Infrastructure
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/03/f6bc3d42f46c33e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
This includes also some conceptual descriptions, tutorials, it describes among others the component model, and nwdi elements one by one like cms, dtr and cbs, etc, I believe it is a good start.
Still, let me briefly, but really only in a nutshell answer your questions.
The changes are only in inactive after checkin. You won't find in active, only if you activate (for details about actvation please refer to the above guide, since if I go into details, I am afraid the answer will be too long).
This was so far the dev/inactive and the dev/active part.
Then you release the changes and import into consolidation. Here it is indeed tricky, since a force activation takes place after a succesful import, so your changes will be visible in both cons/inactive and cons/active.
You also asked what to consider if you delete a DC:
#864515 - How To Delete a Development Component
You wanted to know where to monitor activities. For this go to the CBS webui and check the "Activities" page.
Here you can look up all the activations took place in the past, you can check pending activations, etc, you can even use CBS webui to activate.
Release: You are completely right, there is no release feature in any webuis, as this feature was never implemented. While you can activate from NWDS and from the CBS webui, regarding release the only option is NWDS.
I hope this helps, let me know if you require more clarification.
Best Regars,
Ervin

How to remove a resource from project team without data loss

I have a requirement that, the resource must be removed from a project team after getting DE-allocated from the project.
If i do so, the data of the resource for that project, i.e; actual hours per task filled by the resource gets deleted, which seems not correct. The report for such projects comes out wrong.
Is there any way to de-allocate the resource from the team while keeping all his data there in the project ?
The basic requirement is to restrict the manager to allocate a task to a team member who is not the part of project anymore.

Hi Abhishek,
If the resource has actual on the project, indeed it cannot be removed from the project team. It is just a matter of communicating with the project manager. Here is how the project manager should proceed.
Open the project in Project Pro
Open the "build team from enterprise" in the resource ribbon
Select on the left side (available resources) the new resource
Select on the right side (project resources) the deallocated resource
Click on "replace": you'll be prompted that the resource has actuals on the project and cannot be replaced and that only the remaining work will be assigned to the new resource.
Doing this, you'll keep the project history, but still the PM will be able to assign the deallocated resource. There is no way to prevent it, unless you deactivate the resource, but it will be at enterprise level, meaning for all projects.
Hope this helps,

Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 60+ minutes.

Dear Sirs,
I need your support over the following MS EPM 2013 issue:
Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 30+ minutes. We
need to reduce this total publication time down to acceptable working values 10+- minutes.
Environment information:
Single App Server (Virtual): 16 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 50 GB free disk space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service
Pack 1, MS SharePoint Server 2013 and MS Project Server 2013 with CU December 2013 (KB 2850024) applied.
Single RDBMS MS SQL Server (Virtual): 8 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 200 GB free space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service
Pack 1, MS SQL Server 2012 x64 SP 1 Enterprise Edition.
We have 1Gbit LAN between APP, DB server and 1Gbit LAN between APP and Proj Prof Client.
Yes, we are on the way of migrating to the Prod environment
with 3-tiered architecture (with SP1 slipstream and CU December 2014 applied), but this issue also
presents there.
Project’s file information:
Tasks in the file: [~4900], resources in the file [~396] enterprise task’s custom fields used in the file [~23].
Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed that
tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 = 34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks relevant
for new sharepoint site creation.
Case 1: Issue description:
During the Enterprise project’s file save and publication we have the following sharepoint 2013 log messages:
07.31.2014 12:43:17.22 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope
(Persisting list changes). performing time =376.068676326181 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
07.31.2014 12:43:17.69 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope
(Persisting list changes). performing time =361.652807828928 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
It shows that sharepoint spend at least ~350 milliseconds (or 0,35 sec*4900 tasks = 1715 sec, or 28,5 min) for each task update during
project publication. And we also have another log file that shows that about 0,7 sec (or 0,7 sec*4900 tasks = 3430 sec, or 57 min) sharepoint spend for save each task in project file to project server. So total save and publication time more then 60+ minutes
for that project file. The same result we have even if user didn’t do any changes at the project file.
We use only enterprise projects (dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView.projectvisibilitymode = «False»), and do not use sharepoint tasks lists,
but the synchronization between MSP Plan and SharePoint tasks list works at any case.
Case 2: Issue description:
- For the second test we created a new project with new sharepoint project’s site on basis of our «issue» project, with total amount
of tasks in it of 5148 (yes, we increased the tasks list default limit at the sharepoint site up to 6000 items in it – standard limits for sharepoint view list – 5000 items).
- Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed
that tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 = 34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks
relevant for new sharepoint site creation.
-Then we deleted the
tasks list for that new test project from the sharepoint site and republish the project plan one more time. This time project save procedure took about 7 minutes, project publication about 2 minutes and 3 minutes for other relevant queue jobs. So total time
is 12 minutes.
As a conclusion: yes, we have determined
the exact problem - during synchronization process (from Project Server to SharePoint) it perform copying all tasks and related data from Project to SharePoint in spite of fact that you changed only ONE task or ALL of them. At any case, synchronization will
copy ALL of them from Project Server to SharePOint task’s list.
Our workaround is to disable the task’s synchronization for such big-sized project plans:
– to delete the SharePoint «tasks» list at the SharePoint site tied with project plan.
- or deattach the SharePoint site from the project plan.
Thank you for reading this topic, please if you also forced with such issue provide us any known workaround or maybe any official response
\ feedback from MS about it.
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards, Andrey

Regarding my topic, I also said that every time when sync works it updates All items from project’s plan at Project Server to corresponded task’s list at SharePOint server. Inspire of the fact that you changed only One task or group /
all of them at your project’s plan.
And it seems to me and my colleagues that it’s probably (maybe) a “bug” at the product. Here is what we have if looked a little bit closer to the code:
Share Point determines what task to sync from Project’s plan to sharepoint list. To do that sharepoint needs to know was that task changed or not, based on the following fileds (check SQL stored procedure “[MSP_READ_TASKS_FOR_SYNCRONIZATION]”):
TASK_UID    TASK_NAME    TASK_START_DATE    TASK_FINISH_DATE    TASK_PCT_COMP    TASK_PARENT_UID    TASK_OUTLINE_NUM
WSS_LISTITEM_UID   TASK_ID    TASK_IS_ACTIVE
We noticed that at any case synchronization performs for all tasks, EXCEPT the ROOT one. Then we looked at the comparison of TASK_PARENT_UID field. So sharepoint compares TASK_PARENT_UID with ParentID (this is internal name for lookup
field “Tasks” at the Sharepoint, and it stores their values at the format "ID;#Title").
And comparison performs like following:
SharePoint looks for Task at the Tasks’s list corresponded to Project’s plan with ID represented at the TASK_PARENT_UID field. Then it takes SharePoint ListItem ID (“int” type) and store it to the “num” parameter;
num = this.GetCachedListItemByUniqueId(listItem.ParentList, nullable.Value).ID;
2.Then it compares “num” with task’s “ParentID” at SharePOint as follow with operator “!=”:
((SPItem) listItem)["ParentID"] != (System.ValueType) num
3. If comparison was success (true) – then it tell us that values (at the Project’s plan for tasks) was changed, then it need to be synchronized. Corresponded Method setup “true” flag, and then returns it.
The “bug” is that this expression at the Step 2 will always return “true”, because in fact it compares “string” (see above – that this is lookup field at SharePoint side)
with “number”. For example if the parant task ID is “55”, then we get:
"55;#Task 1" != 55
And by the rules of .Net the “string” will never equal “number”
Furthermore this is approved by the SharePoint logs:
In that case we always get the note “Setting ParentID to” at the logs (we see it if turns on Verbose for “Project Server” -> “Sharepoint Integration” category).
So at any case of publishing project’s plan we always get that note at the logs for tasks that have Parent task, and we have Parent for all of them EXCEPT the ROOT one, exact logs represented further:

Retrieve all values from project type when project type combo box is null

Hi,
We are facing a tight situation here. We have a scenario where we have 2 filter options.
1) Department ID
2) Project type
When department ID is selected all the department IDs should be populated in the combo box and the project type combo box should be empty.
Similarly, when project type is selected all the project types should be populated in the combo box and the department ID combo box should be empty.
Then, when more than one value is selected from department ID box and all the values from project type must be retrieved from query level (as per business logic).
How do we do this? Kindly help us with this situation.

Basically my situation slightly different.
I am trying to do a bulk insert on SQL Server table using prepared statement, during that time i am getting the exception. I am using JDBC-ODBC driver. However, if i do individual record insertion, it is working.
Any idea about this type of problem ?

Project Pro hangs while opening a schedule from Project 2010 server.

Hi,
We have an issue with opening a schedule from Project server 2010. Project client is not responding. when we try to open schedule in PWA. I am getting unable to open file do you want to open in default view. No matter which view I choose keep getting the
same error. The only view i can see resource view however it will not let me edit. I did notice Project Manager had entered resource names first, last name format which do not exist in our resource pool. We can open other schedule except this particular
one.
Thank you

Obviously, my first thoughts are that this plan is corrupted in some fashion. Entering Resource names differentluy should not cause this issue, they will just not be recognized as Enterprise Resources by the system.
Are you experiencing the issue if you try to open the schedule from PWA? If you are able to open from PWA, try publishing it from PWA and see if it throws any errors.
Also, how about trying it from a different machine?
And finally, it might be worthwhile to check if you have the latest Client Update for Project installed (or atleast matching with the server).
If none fof these work,
a) you could try restoring it from Archive Database (assuming you have a daily schedule backup running)
b) If you are able to open it from another machine, you could use the "Save for sharing" feature to try and resolve any corruption with the schedule itself.

How to reference a folder/file outside from project folder

Hi All,
I have two extensions which wants to share some code(files) placed in a folder outside from source directory.
for a simple case see the below example.
created a sample extension HelloWorld whose project structure are as follows
HelloWorld
     ExtensionContents
          lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js
          jsx/InDesign.jsx
          HelloWorld.jsx
          index.html.
I have another folder say "sharedAssets" it contains two images "Orange.gif and pear.gif" which is at same location where HelloWorld and now folder structure becomes
HelloWorld > ExtensionContents
sharedAssets > Orange.gif
                         pear.gif
I have added linked resource folder see the attached screenshot
I have written following line of codes in index.html
<body onLoad="onLoaded()">
<div id="content">
<ul>
<li><img src="Orange.gif" width="42" height="42"/></li>
<li><img src="shared/pear.gif"/></li>
</ul>
</div></body>
but when I opened the extension then it failed to load Orange.gif and pear.gif,
Please let me know how I could reference an image placed in a folder outside from project folder.
Regards,
Alam

Hi Alam,
I don't use Eclipse / EB myself so I can be of no help in the way you set an alternate location folder there.
I've looked in the MXI reference but it seems there's no token equivalent to the "parent folder of all extensions" i.e.
/Users/Davide/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions
or whatever it will be in the future. This is where Extension Manager puts stuff when the MXI is something like:
<file   source="HTML/com.example.helloworld.zxp"
        destination=""
        file-type="CSXS"
        products="Photoshop,Photoshop32,Photoshop64"
        minVersion="14.0" />
that is, destination is blank, file-type is "CSXS".
I've never tried to put there stuff other than ZXP - you can give it a try.
An alternative escamotage could be to use an external folder, which path token exists both in MXI land *and* in (CSInterface or ExtendScript).
That is, a place Extension Manager installs your shared content; which path can be reached from the panel or the JSX.
As an example $userdatafolder/alam/shared in MXI, and Folder.userData/alam/shared in JSX, or SystemPath.USER_DATA/alam/shared in JS.
There are other product specific tokens (Photoshop Script folder for instance) where you can put things into.

How to consume the Calendar Exception details from Project Server 2013 to an SSRS report using PSI ?

Hello,
Can anyone guide me how to access the calendar exception details from Project Server using PSI?
I need to extract calendar details of enterprise resources , like exception name, exception type, exception start date and exception end date into my SSRS report hosted in SharePoint 2013 and 2010.
I would be helpful if I can get a sample of this. I have read through many PSI documents in fact still going through ,what PSI does and doesn't , PSI methods etc. from Project Server SDK and MSDN . Moreover, I
am a beginner in .NET programming. I am confused and have lots of questions in my mind, like which PSI service should be used in my report(is it just Calendar.svc), can we pull the details as XML type data source my SSRS report ,are
there any other configuration settings apart from " setting up an event handler by installing an event handler assembly on each Project Server computer in the SharePoint farm, and then configuring the event handler
for the Project Web App instance by using the Project Server Settings page in the General Application Settings of SharePoint Central Administration" (as per prerequisites for PSI in SDK) , how can I implement authentication settings
-(when user with proper SharePoint permission
can accesses the SSRS report )
Kindly bear with me if my questions are not appropriate .
Please do guide me, and .
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Brendan,
Project server reporting database doesn't contain the calendar info. The only supported way to use the PSI to read the calendar info from Published database.

Hi Fortain ,
I did bit of analysis to track it down and i noticed that when you run availability, system check for Checking Rule "B". I think if we want to enable WBS element field, it should be "BQ". I am trying to figure out. But no clue.
Let us keep trying.

Strange ... Projects opened from Projects View are no longer (3.3) selected on the Library tab of the Inspector.

Strange goings on here with my Libraries: Projects opened from Projects View are no longer (3.3) selected on the Library tab of the Inspector. When, in Projects View, I double-click a Project, that Project's contents are shown in the Browser, but the selection shown on the Library tab of the Inspector remains on "Projects" near the top of the tab.
This is, imho, _very very very bad_. Can someone confirm this behavior on their machine? Is this announced or expected?
Thanks.

Hi Kirby,
I never noticed!
Can someone confirm this behavior on their machine?
Confirmed! (on MBP und iMac)
Is this announced or expected?
Don't know - it does not follow from the release notes, as far as I understand them.

Project Server 2013 for Resource Planning & Project Portfolio Management

We are looking to use project server 2013 for resource and project portfolio management. We are an IT department of approximately 600 growing to 1,000 within the next several years.
We would like to us PS2013 to do the following :
Manage Portfolio of Projects
Manage Resources against this Portfolio
Calculate Project Finances using resource roles and rates
I would be grateful to have both comments on experience , both positive and negative.
Thank You

Many teams within organizations are turning to Project Server to help them control resources, deliverables and costs better. It does resource management very well with work & cost resources, baseline costs, material costs, budget costs and
out of the box earned value analysis (EV). The Strategy (portfolio) component is very powerful and it will help you identify project that align to your objects then do what if analysis to find the right mix of projects.
Here are a couple of things you should think about when moving to PS2013:
1) Who will be using the tool? If it is a mix of onsite staff, remote staff, vendors, contractors etc. you may want to think about a hosted solution.
2) Training. Don't assume everyone will just magically 'know' how to use the tool. Train everyone (team members, PMs, Executives) then train them again. It's the only way to truly get the value out of the tool.
3) Who will manage the system? This is not a typical application. The right administrator needs SharePoint, Project Server, SQL Server, MS Project, Analysis Services and SQL Report writing skills. Please note that much of this can
be learned by the right person but DEFINITELY find the right person.
4) Don't start customizing right out of the box. You will get frustrated. Adjust your organization to the tool early on. I know that is easier said than done but you need a realistic approach to get tool acceptance moving early.
5) Use workflows but don't use them right out of the gate. Workflows are great but I suggest you wait until phase 2 or 3 to start aligning them to your business processes.
6) Lastly and most importantly, you must first establish your own business processes THEN align them to the tool. DO NOT assume the tool will create business process for you. You must think about how you are going to initiate a project,
how are you going to track deliverables, how will time sheets be managed, etc. Get to a whiteboard, crack open Visio and start building and establishing your processes now. PS 2013 is pretty flexible and usually will align well with existing business
processes.
And don't forget to hire a good consultant. They can be brought in during key phases of your roll-out to add value, help you avoid risks, and provide you with best practice advice.
Good luck.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT project

hi there ,
would u please help me out in completing this project.bcoz i'm confused of this project.and i have to submit this to my university before july 1st week.plz help me out.
The main objective of this project is to create a resource pool and this should contain data about people, their area of expertise, skill sets, role and current management. Project manager should be able to assign resources from this pool to the project based on current engagement priorities. Another important objective of this document is to describe all essentials requirements and interfaces for the system. This tool will enable the project manager to utilize the resources optimally and to bring down the resource wastage to minimal.
1 Keep track of resources. i.e., which person is working on what kind of a task?
2. Allocation of person with relevant skills to task that suits him.
3. Resource leveling.i.e, a way to resolve having too much work assigned to resources, known as resource overallocation.

What exactly do you not undserstand? Are you having trouble with what technology to use and how it will work or are you having trouble comming up with the design specification?

Hello,
thanks for your contribution. But how I already said we have seen that the first error message:
The error is: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot load a validator resource from '/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml'
But behind that message is an additional message that describes the real root cause of the problem:
SEVERE: Cannot find resource "org/apache/commons/digester/xmlrules/digester-rules.dtd"
org.apache.commons.digester.xmlrules.XmlLoadException: Cannot find resource
"org/apache/commons/digester/xmlrules/digester-rules.dtd"
Unfortunately we have no idea why the dtd file can not be loaded. The appropriate line of code is:
getClass().getResourceAsStream("<link_to_resource")
And this returns a NULL object. The NULL object causes the general exception and finishes the instantiation of Struts.
Any additonal hints?
Regards, Maik

Release Resource from Project during closeout?
