Resource Plan in Project Server 2013 : where is the remaining availability ?

Hi,
I created a new project with not any task but with a Resource Plan.
I selected the Calculate from: Resource Plan option and clicked
Publish and then Close
I checked the availability of resources : it is still the same. The resource plan has no impact !
What did I miss?
Thanks

Robert,
Is your resource's booking type set to Proposed, by any chance in the resource plan? If yes, are you selecting the Include proposed bookings option in the resource availability graph?
Cheers,

Hi Tony,
Did you check for the ULS log error message? It will be more detailed and make your issue easier to resolve.
Also is it happening with the out-of-the-box project site template or with a custom template? If it is a custom template, what kind of customizations did you do (column renaming...)?
Hope this helps,

Is there a Project Server 2013 JSOM typescript definition file available?

Hi, is there a typescript definition file (.d.ts) file available for PS.js? If not, are there any plans to come up with the definition file in the future?

Hi, is there a typescript definition file (.d.ts) file available for PS.js? If not, are there any plans to come up with the definition file in the future?
+1 to that - Might be a handy idea for someone to go through the documentation and write one. I am tempted to do it myself.

Baseline timephased data disappeared in MS Project 2013 with Project Server 2013!!!

Hi,
I am facing a very strange problem within a custom "task usage" view that I'
ve created. In the right pane I have three timephased fields (work, baseline
work and actual work). When I first add resources to tasks and save baseline
everything works great and the baseline work data are distributed normally in
the respective line next to the resource name and also in the summary tasks
lines. A few days after saving and publishing the project to the Project
Server 2013, I opened the project from the PrjProfessional and the timephased
baseline data had disappeared. However, the total values of baseline work
(shown in the respective column at the left pane) were all still there. In
other words, I cannot see the distribution of baseline work into the timephased
schedule. When I check the database the data is also gone (MSP_EpmAssignmentBaselineByDay table).
This has a huge impact for the customer!
If found a similar issue reported with Project 2007 --> http://www.44342.com/Microsoft-Project-f1227-t2482-p1.htm

Project Server 2013 - Out of Office Sync - Only two months in future?!?

Hello there guys,
after Long Long search for the problem, I've found out that our Project Server 2013 only syncs the out of Office time from our Exchange Calendar for the next two months.
But for our Project planning we Need of course a more longtime synchronization, at least 6 or better 12 months.
I didnt find any Option where I could set it to sync more then 2 months of the out of Office times in the calendars.
I've spent already so much time on this Problem... When I set the Project Server time 2 weeks(!) in the future, then the sync will also sync two more weeks in the future, but not more.
The timesheet periods are also set for the next 12 month.
Does anybody have an Information/help regarding this Problem for me?
How can I set the Out of Office sync to synchronize more then just 2 months?
THANK YOU VERY MUCh!!
Regards
Lukas Meyer
PS: Using the current October 2013 CU.

I've searched the Verbose Log and found the following:
12/17/2013 14:38:16.32 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0928) 0x1A6C Project Server Exchange Sync aaubf Verbose PWA:https://servername/PWA, ServiceApp:Project Server-Dienstanwendung, User:PROJECTSERVER\system,
PSI: Calling service.GetUserAvailability() for user:2c3909bc-d6fb-e211-b239-000c296be823 for period:12/17/2013 00:00:00-02/17/2014 00:00:00, LogLevelManager Warning-ulsID:0x00014045 has no entities explicitly specified. 3a2f619c-f4a0-f018-b62b-b2d1299a489f
So the Project Server is only asking for two months of User Availability on the Exchange. Where can I Change this Setting so that the Project Server syncs more then 2 months?
Otherwise this functionality is quite useless in my view as we are planning our Projects longer then only 2 months...
Thank you!

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

Hi Vijay,
If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

ISSUE: Is that the SUBMIT Button is grayed out after saving initial proposal plan. Snapshot is attached.
I have checked in/out process along with this gone through re-executed the whole process same result occurred.
Suggestion/Help needed...
REGARDS DANISH DANIE

Hi Danish,
Its a common thing which users are experiencing.
When you create project from workflow click on Submit it take time for transition before transition it check all the condition which you have set for workflow stage. As per your screenshot it is waiting for details in PDP (Provide details of the proposed project)
when you click on submit it push data into the database,sometimes it send e mails to stakeholder then it use exchange and take times to send e-mails and for transition too.
When you/user face this issue ask them to wait for some time or close the file then reopen.
In the screen workflow is waiting for Project detail information in PDP that is why it is still in process and not going to next stage.

Excel 2010 reporting with Project Server 2013

Our company purchased SharePoint Server 2013 and Project Server 2013, mainly for the reporting/BI attributes. I read that the report templates, etc. that can be used by Project Server web app can only be accessed with Excel 2013?? Does that mean that our
group/customers have to upgrade to Excel 2013 to take advantage of the Excel Services? This is a huge deal. Can you please let me know as soon as possible? Yikes!! :-O

Hi,
As far as I know, Excel 2010 is still supported by Project Server 2013.

Approvals on Project Server 2013 - An unknown error has occurred

Migrated Project server 2010 to Project server 2013. All the quick launch pages were working after I completed the migration. Started the process of publishing projects and statusing/timesheets to update project.
Now I see "An Unknown Error has occurred".   Tried all my solutions for Project Server 2010 without success.
Event log looks clean.
Has anybody seen and resolved this issue?

Project Server 2013 Project Site Permission

Hi All,
Q1: We are using project server 2013, most of the time the projects are created by the PMO coordinators and it will be assigned to the project manager. Project coordinator and Project Manager belongs to "Project Manager" group. After assigning
the project when the project manager tries to access Project Site, he is getting "why you want to access this site". When I checked project site permission only project coordinator name is added to the Owners group. Normally the project owner should
have the permission to the project site, how to fix it.
Q2: We have different enterprise project type with different site templates. When the project type is changed from one type to another, is it possible to delete and recreate the respective project sites automatically.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
Q1) this is a question related to how your security is set up. If you are using Project Server Permission mode, people in Project managers groups, who have edit ability on your project will get added to the Project manager Synchronized group on the project
site upon publish. You just need to make sure your secueiry ctegories and groups are set up as such.
Alternatively, you could set the owner of the project to be the project manager once they take ownership.
Q2) This will be a manual activity. You need to disconnect the site under server settings, then delete site. Then you can create the site, which will pickup the new EPT set project site template automatically.

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 time phased data in project server 2013/project 2013

Hi all,
I am using project server 2013 .
one resource availability percentage is set as 80% ie 6.4 hrs per day. But when we are doin task assignment, only 5.6 is taken for a day and rest is pushed to next day ( i have noticed this in the timephased data in the task usage screen).
for eg. if 6.4 work is assigned to the resources for a task with start date 1/1/2014 and end date 1/1/2014. 5.6hrs is taken for first day and 0.8 hr is moved to next day. Also the duration still shows as 1 eventhough task finish date is changed to 1/2/2014.
Please help to understand is there any settings where 5.6 is taken for a day though the resource capacity is set as 80% ie, 6.4hrs.
Thanks, Rose

Hi Rose,
is there any chance you have auto leveling turned on? Menu Resource > Leveling Options > Automatic.
