Rolling up Work for Grouped Tasks - Bug

Friends,
Scenario:
Step 1:
Group by any field and look at the Work rolled up value. In the case below it is 200 hours.
Step 2:
Inactivate one of the tasks
Rolled up Work value doesn’t change!?
I’d expect the rolled up value for Work to decrease down to 100 hours.
Is it by design?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Rob,
If you work in standalone and it should not be too much complicated to edit it with Project 2013, assuming you have it.
Hope this helps,

Hi All,
I have a requirement to send work item to different level approvers for that i have to find final level approver from a table and save the data accordingly ,
i have a main task and a Background task
<b> my problem is that the same query that works in back ground task is not working in the Main Task.</b>
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'LEVEL' Level. is a macro written in the method in BOR in main task for getting value which is in the WF container and has binded to the task container. it is not picking up the value from the task container to the method.
Please help me on this
Thanks & Regards
Hari Sankar M

hi Arghadip Kat,
Thank You for Your Response, i've tried ur Suggestion but it is again not working
just let me explain again
i have two tasks,(these two tasks are in a loop.) with one BOR(object) and two Methods
One Method is for first Main task and another is for second task(which is a background task)
i need to get a value called final from a table, i've written a query in the method of Back ground task. and i'm getting the value correctly but i'm not able to pass this value to the main task coz the loop exits after executing the subtask and coz loops exit point is the value final.
So for getting the value of Final in main task i've written the same query in main task but its not working.
Thanks & regards

Mobile sync not working for groups

Hello guys,
i've been playing with Mavericks Server and so far everything is working smoothly except for the mobility sync...
i successfully created a Local Network Account and was able to successfully sync it to the Server using AFP and a specific folder...
This is working awesome, but here comes the issue:
i setup another Local Network Account and assigned it to a Group and used Workgroup Manager (on the same server) to setup the mobility sync for the group...
Now, when i try to login, the mobile profile gets created on the computer but does not sync to the server, it syncs locally instead or i get the error "The sync could not complete because your network home at "(null)" does not allow writing...
if i try Profile Manager websiteit does not work either...
i know this works for a single user, but if i want to sync it using groups it fails....
I've tried finding a possible answer and so far nothing...
Im using OS X Server 3.1.2 and Workgroup Manager 10.9 (421)
Can you please help me out?
Thanks in advance...

Anyone?

Sync Actual work for a task, per resource

Would by using VBA like to update Actual work for a certain task, and not only the total work, but want to add Actual work for each resource assigned to the task. Have tried to figure out how, but so far been unable to do so. Already have
the values per resource so just want to know how to access the Actual work field per resource.

Anders,
We need a little more information about your VBA code but basically the following syntax should work:
Assume Katie Olson is assigned to Task 2 and you wish to update her actual work to 2 days. First, keep in mind that all time variables in Project are stored in minutes so 2 days are 960 minutes assuming a normal 8 hour workday.
ActiveProject.Tasks(2).Resources("Katie Olson").Assignments(1).ActualWork = 960
or this will also work
ActiveProject.Tasks(2).Resources.UniqueID(76).Assignments(1).ActualWork = 960

Extended Notification not working for Dialog Task with agent assignment

Hi Friends,
I have an issue where I have a user decision step and a sub workflow contains a dialog task with agent assignment.
Extended notification is configured properly and is working properly for user decision step but its not working for the dialog task created as an activity.
Batch jobs are configured to run report SWN_SELSEN.
I was checking SDN and found this discussion handy :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/4f/3bed495cc018c8e10000000a42189e/content.htm
One thing that wonders me is that notifications show up in SOST 4-5 seconds before the user decision step starts execution.
See screenshot from SOST and WF log.
SOST log :
2 questions here: Why is notification not being sent for Dialog task?
Why is user decision notification being sent that early even before the User decision task starts execution?
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Sandip

An activity step with agents is supported by the extended notifications if it is a decision task or not, I have used it many times and it works well just no approval/rejection links if it's not a decision task.
From your screenshot you can see that a mail has been created and is found in SOST, usually this cases are problems with the mail server or connection to it, check the mail settings in the SMTP node in transaction SCOT, also check with mail server team if there is a block to/from the SAP server.

Exchange 2013 CU3 Retention Policy Not working for Calendar & Tasks

We are currently on Exchange 2013 CU3 with Online Archiving Enabled for the user
Default policy is set to move all the items in mailbox which are older than 30 days to online archive mailbox.
Calendar and Tasks Items are also getting archived alongwith other Outlook items from Inbox,Deleted Items etc
Followed Technet website and created RPT for Calendar and Tasks with retention disabled
Still DPT takes precedence and move all the items under Calendar and Task to Online Archive Mailbox

Hi Sam,
I recommend you refer to the following article, despite this for Exchange 2010, however the same applies to exhcnage 2013:
Prevent archiving of items in a default folder in Exchange 2010
To prevent the <acronym title="Default Policy Tag">DPT</acronym> from being applied to a default folder, you can create a disabled <acronym title="Retention Policy Tag">RPT</acronym> for that folder (or disable
any existing RPT for that folder). The Managed Folder Assistant, a mailbox assistant that processes mailbox items and applies retention policies, does not apply the
retention action of a disabled tag. Since the item/folder still has a tag, it's not considered untagged and the DPT isn't applied to it.
Why are items in the Notes folder still archived?
If you create a disabled <acronym title="Retention Policy Tag">RPT</acronym> for the
Notes folder, you'll see items in that folder are not deleted, but they do continue to be moved to the archive! Why does this happen? How do you prevent it?
It's important to understand that:
A retention policy can have a <acronym title="Default Policy Tag">DPT</acronym> to
archive items (using the Move to Archive retention action) and a DPT to
delete items (using the Delete and Allow Recovery or
Permanently Delete retention actions). Both apply to untagged items.
The move and delete actions are exclusive of each other. Mailbox folders and messages can have both types of tags applied - an archive tag and a delete tag. It's not an either/or proposition.
If you create a disabled RPT for the Notes folder to not delete items, the archive DPT for the mailbox would still apply and move items.
When it comes to archiving, there's only one archive policy that administrators can enforce – the <acronym title="Default Policy Tag">DPT</acronym> with 'Move to archive' action.
You can't create a <acronym title="Retention Policy Tag">RPT</acronym> with the 'Move to archive' action. This rules out using the disabled RPT approach to prevent items from being moved.

Shared numberVar for Group

Dear All,
I have made a report which has 1 group called Project Number. The report contains Sales Order Project Number which is a Row level database field and Sales Order Document Total
Now I have made a 2nd Report which is from AR Invoice which also has a 1 group and has Project Number which is a Row Level database field and AR invoice Document Total
Now I am trying to attach the AR Invoice report as a subreport in the Main Sales Order report and want to bring the AR Invoice document total in the corresponding group level of Sales Order. Means the basic concept of this whole report is to have for a particular Project Number what is the Sales Order Document Total and for it what is the AR invoice document Total been made so that I can get a backlog figure.
I have tried to use the formula's as followings :
Sales Order Formula 1
shared numberVar InvoiceValue;
AR Invoice Formula 2
shared numberVar InvoiceValue :=ToNumber ({Command. Total Invoice Value})
And I have bought the formula 1 in Sales Order report in Group Header.
Now the problem is that for the groups for which AR invoice document total is not there the formula is brining the values for the above document total.
Basically I want that the formula should work for group level and not for individual lines. If the coressponding Sales Order project number has corresponding AR Invoice project number document total then it should bring or else not.
Please advise how to crack it.
Best Regards,
Swamy

Few Things
All Shared Numbervar formula should really start with
whileprintingrecords;
The vars in Main report and Subreport should have different names eg IInvoiceValueAR and InvoiceValueSO, use another formula in main report to add them together.
@total
Whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar IInvoiceValueAR + shared numbervar IInvoiceValueSO
To overcome empty AR report make sure you reset the variable, place reset formual in AR subreport header
@reset
Whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar IInvoiceValueAR:=0

GP API - remove user dynamically for a task..

I am having dynamic looping for an action, users assigned in every level.
I am able to add user dynamically for an action using:
rtm1.addRuntimeDefinedUserToRole(prInstance1, Next_Action, userJames, userContext1);
Change user does not work as it will work only for running actions or tasks, for pending one it will not
rtm.changeTaskProcessor(processInstanceID, activityInstanceID, currentProcessor, newProcessor);
remove user is not working for me? suggest me how to use this code?
IGPProcessRoleInstance processRoleInstance=executionContext.getProcessRoleInstance();
processRoleInstance.removeUser(UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(UserId));

Hi
I tried using the following for my process where the action is yet to happen
I am calling the BG CO before my action. I need to remove the previous user.
rtm1.removeTaskProcessor(prInstance1.getID(),activityInstanceID, userContext1);
rtm.changeTaskProcessor(processInstanceID, activityInstanceID, currentProcessor, newProcessor);
processRoleInstance.removeUser(UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(UserId));
but nothing is working.
any idea when we can use them? I think changeTaskProcessor will not work for pending tasks.
I am able to get the activityInstanceID from NWA -> GP Processes, but my GP Process is having dynamic loop where the task will generate depending on levels. How can we get the activityInstanceID of the next task/action?

Avoid Duplicate Tasks when Expanding Groups for Custom Task Process

Is there a way to:
Avoid Duplicate Tasks when Expanding Groups for Custom Task Process?
I've got a people metadata column that I am planning on putting groups into. I want the groups to expand and send a task for all users in the groups. I also want to avoid creating multiple tasks if a user happens to be in two groups at the same
time.
I'm trying to work out a way to assign users a read task based on job training requirements. Right now assigning groups and using a workflow task to confirm read is what I'm trying to accomplish. I just end up getting two tasks for a user if
their in multiple groups.
David Jenkins

Hi David,
Please verify the followings:
After Participants, select Parallel(all at a once)
Expand Task Options, select ‘Assign a task to each member within groups’
Open the action properties, make sure ExpandGroup is Yes
Also in SharePoint Designer ,you can edit the property for the Start Approval Porcess to enable ExpandGroup:

Add a dropdown field to the task view that determines work hours for that task.

I'm very new to MSProject. I'm entering project data for the design, review, implementation, testing and acceptance of many subroutines. The subroutines can be categorized into an enumeration of types. 1 - direct sub , easy, 2 - direct sub,
average, 3 - direct sub complex, 4 - supervisory sub easy, 5 - supervisory sub average, 6 subervisory sub complex.
I would like to create a dropdown field that once the category has been selected, the work hours are locked. For Example if I have 50 "direct sub, easy", I want to be able to change the work hours assocated with "direct sub, easy"
in only one place and have all "50 direct sub, easy" tasks automatically use the new work hours.
Is there a way to do this in MSProject?

Denis,
Okay, let's revisit the approach. If you have six defined categories and you want to select from one of those categories for each task, then you need to create a custom field with a lookup table. Let's use the Text1 field.
1. First add the Text1 field as a column in the view, I assume you're using the Gantt Chart view
2. Select the heading of that column and go to: Project/Properties group/Custom Fields
3. That will open the Custom Fields window with Text1 already pre-selected. Hit the "Lookup" button
4. In the Edit Lookup Table window, enter each of your 6 categories. You can give each a number with a description (e.g. 1 - direct sub, easy), or just put the description in the Value field (e.g. direct sub, easy) with nothing in the description.
5. Hit close
Now when you select the Text1 field for any task, the lookup list will appear allowing you to chose of the the entries. Now you can create a filter as I suggested before and go through the process of setting the work value for all like category tasks.
Hope this helps.

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

[SOLVED] Kernel bug fix, works for me!

Having been hit by the kernel bug that interferes with internet access & having to downgrade the kernel to escape the bug. I am happy to say that after reading a bug report on the subject here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11721
Courtesy of a link posted by Misfit138, I found deep down in the report dialogue that the following command as root, worked for the poster of the bug:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
So I did a yaourt -Syu & found amongst other packages a minor kernel update, which did not solve my internet problems, but after su, & then entering the above command in the Terminal my internet works as it should!
If this solution works for you, then add the following to your /etc/sysctl.conf:
#Temporary workaround for tcp issue with 2.6.27
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
Thanks again Misfit138
I hope this solution works for all of the other bug bitten members of the Arch (& Linux) community!

CAS SSO not working for VPN Group

Hello,
I am trying to get SSO working for a CAS/CAM in a inband virtual gateway for VPN users coming in off a ASA5520. There are two VPN groups each with its own group policy and tunnel group. One group uses a Windows IAS Radius Server and the other a token based RADIUS RSA device.
Users use the AnyConnect client to connect to the ASA where they are dumped into a vlan. SSO works for the group that uses the Winodws radius server. On the CAS the Cisco VPN Auth server has the Unauthenticated Group as the default group, and then I use mapping rules (Framed_IP_Address) to get the different vpn groups into the right roles. This works for the one group, but since SSO is not working on the second group the CAS never gets the chance to assign them into the correct role.
The only thing I got is this from the ASA:
AAA Marking RADIUS server billybob in aaa-server group cas_accounting as ACTIVE
AAA Marking RADIUS server billybob in aaa-server group cas_accounting as FAILED
I am so close but cant call this done yet....

Hey Faisel,
Thanks for the question.
This is the stange thing. For days Group A (Windows Radius Server) was working and Group B (RSA Radius Server) would not work. Then for some reason I had to reboot the CAS and BOOM...Group B started working and Group A STOPPED working.
So on the ASA I now get these:
AAA Marking RADIUS server cas2-hvn-3515 in aaa-server group cas_accounting2 as ACTIVE
AAA Marking RADIUS server cas2-hvn-3515 in aaa-server group cas_accounting2 as FAILED
Where cas_accounting2 is the AAA server group for Group A
On the ASA I can see that the FW sends a packet to the cas:
"send pkt cas2-hvn-3515/1813"
but the FW never gets an answer back from the CAS for Group A whereas with Group B I can see the response from the CAS.
"rad_vrfy() : response message verified"
What can I look for in the CAS logs to see where the problem is. I will try and setup a packet capture on the CAS and debug it too.
