Reporting a person to 2 project managers

Hi Friends,
Can any one please tell me how to create relation ship between a single person to 2 project managers, where as the person is working for 2 projects, Org Structure.
Generally iam doing reporting structure in simple maintenance.
looking for your prompt answer
Thanks in advance

Hi Piscian,
Creation of relationship through Matrix Strucutre.
Pre-requsites: prepare a Org Structure through any of the tool like Org & Staffing Interface, Simple/ General Strucutres.
Process: T Code: PPME > Give any of the Matrix Type > In the screen, i first Object ID select the employee > in the second employee select Multiple Selection and give the id of the managers.
So through this u can create a position reporting to two different positions.
Rergards,
Sathi Sankar

Has anyone Connected a Crystal Report directly to a Microsoft Project file (MPP)?

Post Author: Brian Morris
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Iu2019m aware I can save Microsoft Project Files (MPP) to an Access Database, Excel document etc. and there are ways to connect to a Microsoft Project Server.
I wanted to know if anyone has managed to connect directly to one though. Currently we use MPPs to report project status and other deliverables, and itu2019s been an annoyance to have to save the project file then export the data over into a new excel document when ever we have changes (since not all users have project or need all the data in the file).
Preferably, a user should be able to save that project file and anyone that has the Crystal report should be able to run the report against the MPP file. In addition to this, it would be extremely helpful in getting a formalized and nicely formatted report when running reports against rational and MMP files, thus giving an alternative from SODA reports in Microsoft word, which doesnu2019t always work well.
Thanks!

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Ok, I answered my own question on the connection issue, but I'm having issues with the predefined fields that enter into the report. The Database Expert shows the correct table names, but when I select them and look at the fields, they are all showing fields that are part of the "Project" table. when I use "Add Command" and use SQL to do a "Select * From TableName" ,where TableName is the name of the respective table, I get the data I'm looking for. Has anyone else run into this error? Is the error on Crystal Reports side or the Data provider's OLE DB driver? Has anyone with a fully patched system encountered the same errors?
Current SetupCrystal Version: 11.0.0.1282CR Professional; Product Type:FullOLE DB Driver: Microsoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provider
I have pasted my findings below, hopefully other people won't have the same issues I did trying to find this information. if anyone else wants to test and see if they get the same issues I did it would be greatly appreciated.
Connecting a Crystal Report XI to a Microsoft Project File (MPP)
Prerequisites (as I know them)
- Have an installation of Crystal Reports on the machine (a given)
- Have Microsoft Project 2000/2003 installed OR the Microsoft Project OLE DB provider which is installed with Microsoft Project (NOTE: Microsoft 2007 supposedly no longer supports OLE DB and requires an OLAP cube be made or a SOAP connection be used, which I donu2019t deal with personally)
Creating the connection
Start Crystal Reports
Click u201CBlank Reportu201D on the start page
in the u201CDatabase Expertu201D window, under u201CAvailable Data Sourcesu201D, Select u201C+u201D next to u201CCreate New Connectionu201D
Select the u201C+u201D beside u201COLE DB(ADO)u201D
If a u201COLE DB (ADO)u201D window does not come up, double click u201CMake New Connectionu201D
In the u201Cprovider:u201D box Select the u201CMicrosoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provideru201D
The name may be different depending on the version of project you install and the patch you have on the machine
Select u201CNext >u201D
Under u201CDatabase:u201D copy/paste in the path and project file name
I donu2019t believe the other fields u201CData Source:u201D, u201CUser ID:u201D, or u201CPasswordu201D need to be filled out, and in fact, I got an error when entering in data into them
Example: u201CC:\Projects\Project Name\Current Schedule.mppu201D
Select u201CNext >u201D
In the Advaned information window, verify the project Name is the path of the project.
I have not found the use of u201CEnterprise Modeu201D (default: 0), u201CAlways Loadu201D (default: 0), u201COLE DB Servicesu201D(default: -5), or u201CEnterprise RUID Listu201D (default: blank), removing them or changing them did cause errors though.
Click u201CFinishu201D
Adding in Tables and extracting data
You now have a connection to the project File you listed. There is an issue Iu2019ve found though that all the tables you see listed are filling their fields in from the u201CProjectu201D Table, rather then their respective tables (Example: u201CAssignmentsu201D is pointing at u201CProjectu201D rather then the obvious connection u201CAssignmentsu201D). You can, however, use the u201CAdd Commandu201D and select the table you want with just a little SQL code:
Select *
From Assignments
After creating the command, highlight it and hit u201CF2u201D. You should be able to edit the name and change it from u201CCommandu201D to something more meaningful. At the current time Iu2019m unsure if the issue with the default tables all pointing toward the project table is an error on the provider side or Crystal Reports end, and if one of the new patches will fix it. I will update this document accordingly when I have more information and do more testing. I will note however, there is no way to change which table these preset fields point to.
Thank you for your time.

Project Managers

Dear Dina
What is the difference between resource manager and staffing manager, since they both can assign resources to project, Approvals and many other responsibilities
Who is having the resource data???
Thank u very much...

Hi
In some large companies the job of the staffing person is to find a match between requirements of project mangers looking for resources, and the resource managers, who have professional responsibility for groups of resources. In such companies the project managers do not interact directly with the individual resources offering themselves for open roles on projects.

We just came across this as a bug. 1st question is can you click Print Preview while you have the document open? If yes, then have you modified the description of the document (in Document Steup)? If yes to that too, then you've found the bug that can be reproduced.
Please report this to Oracle (and everyone else who comes across this) to get it more attention.

Calling Sub Report which is in Different project

Hi All,
Can we Call sub Report which is in different project? If so, How? Can you please help me out.
Thanks
sush

Hi susheel1347,
In Reporting Services, when we call a sub report, in the Subreport Properties, we can only select the report in current project (from the drop down list) as a subreport. If we type a report which is in another project, this report can't be found
and it will return the message like below:
So your requirement can't be achieved currently, we suggest you copy that subreport into current project.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Project Managers to know when a task has been updated for the last time

Hi,
I would like know if there is any timestamp feature in Project Server 2007, so that it can be possible for Project Managers to know when a task has been updated for the last time.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you are using the My Tasks to drive the task updates then you can use the 'Applied Requests and Errors' available under 'Go To' in the Task Updates area. Here the PM can find when requests have been approved and how many updates he/she received for a
particular task (by clicking the task name) etc.
Hope this helps

SharePoint Permissions Mode--Project managers can't see all projects

Hi all,
My understanding of the SharePoint Permissions Mode is that the permissions and categories granted match the defaults for the same groups in Project Server. I have a situation in which we'd like project managers to be able to see all projects in the organization.
We're running in SharePoint Permissions Mode. Since the My Organization category is associated with the Project Managers group by default in Project Server and (I believe, as I don't have access to SharePoint Central Administration for the install) the project
managers are in the SharePoint Project Managers group it seems as though the project managers should be able to see all projects. However, it appears they're only seeing projects for which they're the owner.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Thanks very much for your response Dinesh. I was afraid of that, though I don't understand why it's so based on what I've read. I've read the Server Administrator's Guide and the TechNet articles on which permissions are granted in SharePoint Permisssions
mode, but never could find confirmation of this. If you have any other references that I should consult I'd sure appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks again.

Assigning a person to two projects at a same time with different salary

Dear All,
Can any one guide me how to assign a person for two projects at the same time, this can be done by assigning him to the two projects as 50%, here the issue is his salary is varied from one client to other.
please tell me how to do in the SAP
Thanks in advance
Regards
Karunakaran
Edited by: Karunakaran on Mar 4, 2010 7:02 AM

Hi,
Will you record the time worked for each project and pay accordingly, or will you pay 3 & 8 hours fixed?
If the second one is the case, what comes to my mind is you can assign him in IT0008 a base salary with wage type PR01 and this would refer to the full-time project.
The the salary for the second projects may be given to the employee via IT0015 in terms of amount directly or hours.
However, this scenario has nothing to do with the project system module or timesheet data.

Remove ability to delete projects from Project Managers

hello forum members,
does anyone know how to set up permissions so that Project Managers can't delete projects? (we are using Project Server permission mode)
tatiana

Hi Tatiana,
This setting can be removed in the PWA Settings > Manage Groups. Here you can edit the Project Manager groups and for each one of the selected categories (you will need to click on each) remove the 'Delete Project' option
Hope this helps

1) Provide a procedure which allows a user to insert money, and run
this procedure again to insert more money
This is one simple way to do get you started. Save this as yourHomework.java
public class yourHomework
private int totalMoney = 0;
public static void main( String[] args )
    while ( <user wants to keep adding money> )
     int amount = <get the amount they want to add>
     insertMoney ( amount );
     <check if user still wants to add money>
public void insertMoney (double amount)
{ totalMoney += amount; }
}2) Provide a procedure to set up an array for 5 different currencies
to include: (a) Amount of that currency in machine
(b) Value of that currency i.e. $1.5 = �1 (can be used for
calculations)
(c) Name of that currency (i.e. string)
This information is obtained from the user when he runs that procedure
and it can be run 5 times to set up the 5 currencies and then again
i.e. to change currency 1
I have no clue what you're talking about. 3) Provide a procedure to convert the money (i.e. user is prompted for
amount he is going to insert (must be greater than 1 pound), and the
currency he desires. and then it is converted into the appropriate
currency, and an appropriate message is outputted i.e. "YOU HAVE
INSERTED 10 POUNDS....15 DOLLARS WILL BE GIVEN"
public void convertMoney( String oldCurrency, String newCurrency, double amount )
    // do conversion between the 2 types of money
double newAmount = <result from the conversion>;
System.out.println( "YOU HAVE INSERTED "+amount+" "+oldCurrency+"...."+newCurrency+" "+newAmount+" WILL BE GIVEN");
}

Tasks were deleted/moved by Project Managers after Time was reported by contributors

So here is the most bafling situation I have at hands. We are running MS Project Server 2010. There are many projects where users are assigned and time is being reported. Few of the PMs managed to moved the tasks where time was already reported to other
projects. Now I have timesheets that have UID that no longer exists.
The actual steps of events might have gone in the following way:
1. Project was setup with Tasks and users were assigned
2. Project was then checked in and published
3. Time was reported by the users and somewhere PM checked out the project
4. PM never checks the project back in and the moves the tasks around
5. PM then check-in and publish and -- voila -- tasks with timesheet disappears
If this is a client server technology then it should not have happened but it did.
Questions
- Has anyone else encountered a similar situation and how they went about fixing it besides the user training?
- How to fix the ongoing issue?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi,
a few questions up front:
Do you use Single Entry Mode (SEM). What page are your users using: really timesheets or are they entering time on tasks page. Are users submitting their actuals or just saving? When the submit and PM is also Status Manager of these tasks, he gets an information
that updates are pending when opening project plan. If he deletes tasks with actual work, he is also informed that it was no good idea.
To avoid this situation, I suggest to
turn on SEM, if not yet done
follow
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh694531(v=office.14).aspx and
think about turning on "Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" in Server Settings - Task Settings and Display. With this enabled, your PMS will not be able to delete tasks with actuals.
Let us know, how you are working right now and if my suggestions may be an option.

Defaulting person responsible for projects and project tasks

Hi,
My customer needs to use the project resource management for staffing the cProject tasks so that these are available in the dashboard view for tasks. However, in stead of doing this manually for all the tasks it is wished that tasks that are not staffed manually (or in the template) are staffed by the person which created the project.
Is there any possibilities for doing this in cProjects 4.0? Have anyone of you done something similar?
Regards Camilla

Hi Camilla,
You can try with the following two alternatives.
1. a customer report, which call the
    Bapi BUS2175 method change.
   or the related function modul. BAPI_BUS2175_CHANGE.
    the importing parameter RESPONSIBLE_ROLE_GUID of BAPI_TS_TASK can    be used.
2. The Badi dpr_attributes may fulfill your requirement too.
But in bot case, I think, a role has to be created and and the person
is assigned to the role before,.
If anyone has other ideas, please post hier.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo
