Resources not levelling with recurring tasks

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a project I have made for an assignment (not real life). I have entered all my tasks and assigned resources to them, there are about 60 tasks and half a dozen resources. At this stage, on the resources, none of my resources are over
allocated.
Then I add a recurring meeting every monday (allowing for allocated non-working days) for one hour. This then causes all of my resources to be over allocated.
To resolve this, I have tried levelling the resources, allowing for the priority of the recurring task, so that the other tasks will be split around the meeting. This works for one or two of my resources, but not for all of them. The length of the project
is not too important at this stage, so I have allowed it to extend to accomodate the split tasks.
I've tried manually reassigning the resources, and I can get a couple of them allocated properly, but then I adjust something else and it throws all of the resources out of whack again!
I am almost at my wit's end with this! If you have any suggestions, I would be really grateful!
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I’m not sure you’re going to be able to do what you want as Project does not like you assigning resources to summary tasks like this.
When I had a look in the help file it says.
“If you assign resources to a recurring summary task by typing resource names in the
Resource Names field, the resource will be assigned to the total work on the recurring task and not to the individual recurring tasks as they occur.”
Which is why I think you will be unable to resolve the conflicts.
If you must have a meeting every week and want to assign resources, I guess you may have to set them up individually.
(Or maybe list the attendees under Contacts, which is what Project suggests but that does not sound ideal to me)
Sorry can’t help further.
Cheers,
Tom.

Ovi Suite/N97 Issues with recurring tasks

Hi
I have finally managed to get my N97 to work with Ovi Suite (v 2.0.1.35) but am having some very annoying issues when it comes to syncing calendar & tasks (personally I wish I could just sync the calendar and not the tasks...).
I have several recurring tasks in Outlook. They feature in my task list on Outlook as just one task with the recurring symbol next to them. Whenever I sync my N97 for some reason, on both the N97 and Outlook the recurring tasks disappear and are replaced by a years worth of the recurring task. This means that both my N97 & Outlook task lists are suddenly overflowing and impossible to manage.
Has anyone else experienced this & is there a way round this, or a way to simply sync calendar and not tasks??
Thanks
Nick

Just tried editing my previous post and forum wouldn't let me.
Anyhow, I just discovered that Ovi suite didn't mark my tasks as complete - it deleted them. It also deleted quite a large chunk of my completed tasks as well. I have absolutely no idea why it would have done this, but to say it's very frustrating is a massive understatement, I'm now having to rebuild my task list from memory.
Never had any of these issues with PC Suite....
P.S - In my Ovi suite options I have conflict resolution set to Outlook not Device...

Problem with Recurring Tasks

Hi people,
After I upgraded my curve 8900 to 5.0 anything (tried two so far) .461 & .411 I noticed that my tasks from Outlook that are recurring when I mark them completed the next occurance has a strange reminder time.
i.e.
I have a recurring task Morning Vitamins set to be reminded daily at 8:00 AM. When I complete the task in version 4 the next task was created no problems. However, with version 5 when I complete the task, the next task has a reminder time of 1:00 AM sometimes 2:00 AM. I can't figure out the rhyme or reason of this.
I have tried several battery pulls no change still same wierd reminder time.
Has anyone else noticed this? Anyone have any ideas to fix this?

Hello Robin, and thanks for the answer.
The QA team is testing with a special account created to this purpose. We the development team are viewing these tasks wuth that account without a problem, that's the odd thing. We've checked the IE version, the security configuration of IE and everything matches. The problem began when we changed from VC to WebDynpro.

JFileChooser() not working with windows task scheduler

I have a program that would send emails with attachments to users. The program should be ran according to the scheduled time, and because of that I use task scheduler to do it for me. I did all necessary steps to make this happen. (create .bat file to activate/run the jar file then task scheduler will trigger the .bat file if it hits the stated schedule.) The problem right now is that when the program is ran or is triggered by task scheduler, it gives off this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$1.call(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$1.call(Unknown Source)

at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2$ComInvoker$3.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)I tried running it manually by using the .bat file and it works fine with no errors or whatsoever. I'm suspecting it has something to do with jFileChooser() because It wont retrieve the attachments in the default directory, but I'm not sure, there might be other causes. Here's the function that retrieves the attachments in the default directory:
public String getMyDocument(String filename)
     JFileChooser fr = new JFileChooser();
     FileSystemView fw = fr.getFileSystemView();
     return fw.getDefaultDirectory().toString()+"\\"+filename+".xls";
}PS.
All required attachments are present in the default directory, no misspelled words or misplaced characters. I also did some research but so far i haven't found any solutions yet.

I'm not even sure there is a default directory if the component is not realized but I have never checked. I would like to suggest to the OP that he uses the "user.home" directory but again I have never checked where that points when used with the task scheduler. It could be that it is not defined and that file chooser uses this as the default if not explicitly set. This is why I suggest that the OP writes out the value.

SyncServices and MS Entourage 2004/2008 broken for recurring tasks?

Recurring tasks won't work
I believe the problem is related to the synchronization of Entourage to iCal. I'm able to replicate the problem consistently when synchronization is enabled.
Problem
* Open Entourage preferences and enable the synchronization of events and tasks to iCal
* Create a new recurring task and save it
* Wait a few minutes for Entourage to sync the task to iCal
* Open the task and observe the recurrence has been removed
The above described issue never occurs if the synchronization of events and tasks to iCal is disabled.
This problem has been around since the release of Leopard. I can't replicate the problem in Tiger.
I've built a brand new system using a clean install and a fresh installation of MS Office 2004 & 2008, but still have the same problem.

I'm having the same problem with recurring tasks. Have you found a solution?

Planned Task - Problems with user Rights for recurring tasks

Hi there,
I'm currently trying to configure a database replication tool from a 3rd party supplier to work as planned task on Windows Server 2012 R2 (Datacenter).
There's a very strange problem, however: It does work perfect, if I configure the task to occur only once. It does not work, if I check the "Run that task each XXX hours/days"-Checkbox when configuring the Trigger.
i.E.: works, when I have a trigger for each hour, doen't work if I configure one trigger to reoccur each hour.
I tried to pinpoint that problem down, and I found that the task cannot access it's logfile when it's started "reoccurring" (It probably would not make sense to post a screenshot here, since I'm working with the german version of the server). It
also does not work if I configure a specific trigger to end the task after XXX hours/days/etc. of operation.
To form a more specific question: are there differences in the rights used to start a process, if it is scheduled to be started each our, by configuring a reoccurring trigger?
Thank's in Advance,
Alex

Hi ALex,
Would you please post more detailed information about Planned and recurring tasks?
If you means creating task in task scheduler, in general, the triggers shouldn't frustrate the execution of the task, and we usually need to check the security option in the task.
To troubleshoot the issue in task scheduler, please enable the task history: Open an elevated Task Scheduler (ie. right-click on the Task Scheduler icon and choose Run as administrator)->In the Actions pane, click Enable All Tasks History.
If you means creating recurring tasks on project server, I recommend you can post in the dedicated Forum for a better response:

If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Recurring tasks deleted when syncing outlook with iCloud

I have recently decided to take advantage of the 2 way sing via iCloud to get in sync my iPhone 4 with my 3 PCs running outlook (win 7).
one big issues here: when I click on an occurrence of a recurring task on the outlook iCloud calendar, the whole recurring task is deleted, with no wornings and no option to just delete the selected occurrence. This does not occurr when the task is in the outlook calendar not marked "iCloud", nor when I go on the cloud and edit it within iCloud.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Any suggestion to solve this?

Hi Paula,
You can try restoring the iPhone from backup, if iTunes has an iPhone backup that is dated before the events were deleted. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 provides more information about iPhone backups.
After restoring the iPhone from backup, create one calendar event in Outlook and Reset the Sync History in iTunes preferences. Then sync the iPhone and you will see an option to Merge or replace data, choosing merge will combine data on the devices.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 will provide more information about Resetting the Sync History.

Resource scope when performing capacity leveling with Optimization method

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if, when performing the Optimization method in Capacity Leveling for transportation resources production resources are validated? I am currently testing this and I found out that if the capacity variant of the production resource is no 00, 01 or 02 the system will give an error message when trying to level a transportation resource, the message indicates that there is no available capacity for the production resource.
When reading documentation in help.sap it appears to me that Capacity Leveling should only focus on the resource to be level not in other resources and in this case my transportation resource has available capacity that shouldn't be affected for master data errors of production resources...
Could somebody help me clarify this issue?, I have already open a message and they suggested me to change the capacity variant of the production resource, evidently when I do this everything works but I still don't understand why capacity leveling, with Optimization method, of a transportation resources is checking on production resources.
Thanks!
Erika

Hello Ian,
I am not talking about the SNP Optimization Run that is certainly manipulated by the constraints that you update on the optimization profile; in this case "Capacity Leveling with Optimization Method" the constraints are automatically set by the system and what I need to know is if these constraints are considering not only the resource that is to be leveled (in this case the transportation resource) but also the production resource.
Sorry but your answer does not correspond to my request, because you are talking about the Planning Optimization run and I am talking about "Capacity Leveling with Optimization Method".

AiO Remote Ink Levels etc not accessible with USB connection

My printer prints and scans just fine...except that it ran out of ink after about 15 pages. I'm trying to view the ink levels, but everything in the HP AiO Remote says it's not supported with the USB connection. There's no other way to connect my printer. I need to view the ink levels and be able to put in new ink, but I can't because the software isn't working right. Help?

Hi @HnnhSmth95,
I see by your post that you are unable to view the ink levels by a USB connection. I can help you with this, but I will need some more information.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Error on Data Flow Task MSSQL 2012 Clustered "Description: The version of Lookup is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. "

We have an SSIS package that runs on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes that is failing. We use a job to executer the package.

Package is set to 32 -bit. All permissions verified. Runs in lower environments, same MSSQL version. All environments are clustered. In the failing environment, all nodes are at the same service pack. I have not verified if all
nodes in the failing environment have SSIS installed. Data access is installed. We have other simpler packages that run in this environment, just not this one. Time to ask the community for help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi DeveloperMax,
According to your description, the error occurs when you execute the package with Agent job on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes.
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by you use SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available
only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed.
To fix this issue, we should use the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility to schedule the 64-bit SQL Server Agent to run a package. To run a package in 32-bit mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can go to the Job Step dialog box, then
select “32 bit runtime” in the Advanced tab.
Besides, we should make sure that SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the failing environment.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Running Function Module in Background with Update Task is not working

Hello Friends,
I have a "Z" Report Program where I am running this Report in Background using JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE. I am calling this in BADI.
In this Report I am calling another Function Module PRICES_POST which is a standard Function Module and in this FM there is another FM 'CKML_UPDATE_MATERIAL_PRICE IN UPDATE TASK'. Now when I am running the BADI these values are not being updated.
Friends I would like to know whether can we run Function Modules which are included with UPDATE TASK as Background Job program?
Kindly help me in providing your valuable suggestions in proceeding further.
Thanks and Regards

Error: Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

Hi,
I'm getting the error "Result of Agent Resolution does not agree with agent of Task". I'm passing the agents in Expression which I'm getting from Method in my previous step and passing to workflow container and it is getting passed to Expression. The userid is present in that container. And the Task is assigned as General Task but still I dont know what might be the problem. The ID is with 'US' prefix. Even if I give the userid directly in the Task, it shows the same error.
Regards,
JMB

Hi
Incase you are using different clients for development and testing, make sure in testing client, task is assigned as general task.
You may check the way the userid is passed. Please note that the US is object type and Object ID(user id) is different. Both of them should not be part of one string. So while you test, just pass the user id without a prefix US. Hope it will work for u.
Regards

Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

Hello Experts,
I am trying to configure a workflow for Employee Travel expense, the Business object am using is BUS2089 for event CREATED.
And am configuring workflow task WS20000040 (Approve trip). and in the work flow builder I am assigning User as an Agent and fixing it to a user say "USER1" for Task 404 (Check trip facts) and for Task 416 (Approve trip facts) again am assigning User as an Agent and fixing it to user say "USER2"
Now when the Trip is saved using PR05, this work flow is triggerred - which is what i want and it sends work item to USER1, now when USER1 says Trip facts are consistent the work item should go to USER2 but here it is failing and the log says "Agent determination for step 0000000416 failed" and details say "Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task" which is SWF_RUN 544
Can you guys help me by telling where am going wrong. Am i missing some configuration somewhere.
I have changed the Task properties - Attributes i have changed the task as a General Task,(i did it by navigating through Control Tab of the task)
appreciate your response.. Thanks
Usman

Thanks Novjot
I made the task as a general task and i see a gree light adjacent to it, but still it doesn't work.
the way i made it as a general task is as follows:
1. in the navigation area - select task 416
2. In the right hand side, on Control Tab in Task properties, click on the Red button and maintain Agent assignment
3. In Agent Assignment change attributes to General Task - instead of General Forwarding allowed.
save and activate, and generate runtime version
Is this correct or any other way?
Thanks
Usman
