Saving MPP to SharePoint 2013 site from Project Pro 2013 fails

When syncing from MS Project Pro 2013 to SharePoint 2013 it does not save the MPP file in the Site Assets
Have MS Project Pro 2013, SharePoint 2013, IE 9, Windows 7
The scenario is as follows.
1. Have a SharePoint Project site
2. I open up the task list in the SharePoint site and added tasks just using the available default fields that are provided. NO external links
are in the task list.
3. Selected the Open with MS Project option in the task list ribbon. MS Project 2013 launched from my desktop with the task list opened in it.
4. In Project selected the Sync with SharePoint option and it did sync successfully with task list but it did NOT save the project file in the
SharePoint site. In addition, No error or warning message appeared.
5. Selected Save button in MS Project – again it did not save to SharePoint but instead brought up the Save As screen again.

Karen,
To the best of my knowledge synching a Project file with a SharePoint task list and saving the project file to a library on SharePoint are two separate processes.
You may synch the file to the SP list and then save the Project file to a library. Are you using Project Server?

Sharepoint 2013 (Danish): Deploying site from a custom template fails with error "Duplicate content type"

I cannot create a site-template in my own language (danish) and deploy a site based on the template.

Hi,
Can you call your web service using jQuery not in an app successfully?
As the error message suggests, it might be an error on the server side.
I suggest you do a simple test to check whether you can call the web service using jQuery.
Here are two links would provide more information about troubleshooting this error for your reference:

Feel free to reply with the test result if the issue still exists.

Unable to import Thesaurus in SharePoint 2013 - Failed to start the flow

I am having issue with importing Thesaurus into SharePoint 2013. I have tried with seed file on local and remote server without success. On ULS stack, it lists "Cannot start flow. The admin service is unavailable". But if

Hi,
Please check if it is related to the primary search host controller, make sure it is enabled for the farm, then check results again.
$searchApp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication

Problem Saving Files to A Sharepoint 2010 Site from Office 2010: Saves locally by default rather than to the correct sharepoint site

Hi we are starting to use sharepoint 2010 / word 2010 and have found an interesting bug/problem. Sometimes when a user tries to save a file (by clicking on the save button in the quick access toolbar for word 2010) the save dialog comes up with the
users local "Documents" folder as the path (not the correct sharepoint path where the document should be saved). (I should say that we are creating the file from sharepoint by using a toolbar on the document library, with the new button)
We are using a content type and a template attached to the document library when we create the file.
This is really annoying because the user might not notice that the document is saving locally and not to sharepoint. I have found a strange workaround which involves clicking the [File] tab on the ribbon in word 2010, then clicking "Save and Send"
and then clicking the save button again. At this point word 2010 seems to "remember" that it is trying to save document to sharepoint and shows the sharepoint document library.
This is a real nuisance which could lead to documents being lost/misfiled if people don't realize that this is happening. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Kevin

Saving files to SharePoint Document Library.
For a test try this:
Word 2010
Disable all options in "Protected View"
(-> Word Backstage -> Options -> Trust Center -> Protected View)
Now you can create a new document in your document library. The
save dialog comes up with the correct sharepoint path.
Hope this helps

Unable to Connect to Project Server 2013 from Project 2013

Hello,
I'm trying to connect to Project Server 2013 from Project 2013 but it is not working.
I'm able to connect to the PWA from IE 10 on Windows 8 Enterprise
On Project 2013, I configured account to connect to Project Server 2013 and I checked the "Log on to Project Server from Project Professional" global permission and it is on.
Any idea why it is not connecting?

So you are using Project Online and not Project Server 2013? Can other users access Project Online from Project Pro successfully in your organisation? If it was an authentication issue, Project would prompt for credentials.

Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

Hello there,
Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
is working fine with environment Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
from 2010 to 2013.
For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
Get-SPWopiZone
The result will be one of the following:.
internal-https
internal-http
external-https
external-http
Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
Get-SPWOPIBinding
In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.

SharePoint 2013 REST Create "document set" folder

Hi,
Is there a way in rest api model to create a "document set" folder into a Library?
I have already created a folder through this code :
body: { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Folder' }, 'Name': 'New name' }
Do i need to use another namespace ? Or do i add new properties into the body section ?
Regards.

Hi,
you could see below a part of my code which works : a CRM's plugin create a document set on a SharePoint online document Library.
I have to use the "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc" instead "_api". Don't forget to add the "Slug" header.
try
Uri spSite = new Uri(https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite);
SpoAuthUtility _spo= SpoAuthUtility.Create(spSite, "[email protected]", WebUtility.HtmlEncode("pwd"), false);
var formDigest = _spo.GetRequestDigest();
headers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
headers.Add("X-RequestDigest", formDigest);
headers.Add("Slug","https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Projects/MyDocSetName|0x0120D520007A233E5B7896684DA77F0B084D0FE117">https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Projects/MyDocSetName|0x0120D520007A233E5B7896684DA77F0B084D0FE117");
restQuery = "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Projects";
url = new Uri(String.Format("{0}/{1}", _spo.SiteUrl, restQuery));
byte[] data = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("");
// Send a json odata request to SPO rest services byte[] result = HttpHelper.SendODataJsonRequest(
url,
"POST", // reading data from SP through the rest api
data,
(HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url),
_spo, // pass in the helper object
headers
catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(ex.Message.ToString());

Project Server and Project Pro 2013 - Tasks not allowing Uncomplete Work to be rescheduled

We are current;y running Project Server 2013 on Premise and using timesheets to update task status. We are using the proactive task scheduling to let the allocations, work and dependencies drive the schedule to get accurate project finish dates.
We have several projects that give an error stating "Change would modify work entered by a team member" and "We can't make that change because Project Web App is set to only allow actual work to be entered by a team member through Timesheets
or My Work" when setting the status date and Updating the Project and selecting reschedule Uncompleted Work to start after the status date. We have determined that usually it is only a single task causing the error. we have tried to remove the resource
when no actuals have been entered but we get the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paul,
Looks like the settings "Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" has been enabled on your PWA (under Server Settings >> Task Settings and Display).
But the setting is used to prevent any updates to actual work from project pro, and will throw the error you mention above, if a PM tries to update the actual work.
I am not sure why the "Rescheduling of uncompleted work" would thrw this error, but worth checking that setting.
Cheers,
Prasanna Adavi, Project MVP

How do I show/refresh data from an Access Web App in an Excel spreadsheet saved in a Document Library on Sharepoint 2013 online

I have an Access 2013 Web App in my Sharepoint 2013 online website. It contains a query to report on its data (several, actually, but let's keep it simple). I want to connect an Excel spreadsheet to the query, visualise the data in pivot tables/graphs/whatever,
save the spreadsheet in a Document Library, and let other team site Sharepoint users open the spreadsheet (preferably in Excel online, but with Excel client if it has to be) and see/copy the data, refreshed with the latest information from the Access Web App.
Simple, surely!
The way I'm doing it at the moment is to create an ODC file to connect to the cloud-based Access 2013 database, save that ODC in a Data Connection Library in the SP site, and use the saved ODC file as data source in the Excel spreadsheet. This works and
successfully keeps everything 'in the cloud' but I can't get it to refresh in Excel Online, and if I open the spreadsheet in Excel Client I have to enter the database password every time to refresh it. I don't really want to issue this password to everyone
who might want to view the data. There must be a better way than this ODC method, I suspect.
Googlings on this have led down various blind alleys - Excel Services, PowerPivots, Web Parts - but I'm stuck on which to follow through. Please, someone, point me to an article/book/website that explains how to do this step-by-step in simple language..
thanks
Jonathan

I don't see any quick way of achieving it - at least there's no such functionality exists in SharePoint. All you can do, develop an event receiver that will update the fields in the list item once the excel file is added/updated. You can use OpenXml API
to manipulate the excel file.
Thanks,

Saving/Opening documents to SharePoint 2013 from within Office 2010 applications

I was hoping that Office 2010 would work nicely together in terms of saving to and opening documents from SharePoint 2013. Alas, I was disappointed and somewhat surprised to see that opening/saving documents in SharePoint from within Office still
involves copying, pasting and hacking the URL of the document library in the Save or Open dialogue box. I was fully expecting that Office 2010 would have display some sort of SharePoint navigation so you could view your sites and document libraries in a similar
way to folders. A mature document management system this ain't!
Anyone have any advice on how to improve the Open/Save to/from SharePoint experience in Office 2010? I'm open to the idea of Office add-ins whether third party or official Microsoft.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, but that's from within SharePoint, not Office?
An example scenario: I create a new document or receive a document, I'm in the document, and I want to publish the document to a document library in SharePoint. At the moment I would have to save the document, load up SharePoint, navigate to the document
library and then go through the upload process.
I should really be able to, from within Word, select File - Save to SharePoint (say) and then be able to navigate to the document library I want to publish to. Really basic DMS stuff that I'm surprised isn't there!
Similar thing to opening a document. I should be able to Open from SharePoint, navigate to the document library via some sort of navigation box, and open it.
Thoughts appreciated.

Add a list from a subsite to the top level site SharePoint 2013

Hello, I am trying to display a calendar from sub site to the top level home page and cannot seem to make it happen. I have opened the calendar in SPD and saved that as a webpart file to my desktop and then uploaded into the app gallery and web
part list and when I go to add it to the top level home page I get the following error: 'List does not exist' 'The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user." Any idea?
I am running 0365 w/SharePoint 2013.
Thank you!

Hi,
Please perform the steps below:
Access calendar list in subsite, in the Customize List tab, click Edit List. It will open SharePoint Designer.
In Views tab, click Calendar, it will open list view in Advanced mode, and you will see code.
Delete the part between <ZoneTemplate> and </ZoneTemplate>
click INSERT in the toolbar > DataView > click calendar list > List View Tools bar appears in green color.
Click WEB PART, save web part to site gallery (ensure you have site-level admin permission)
Access root-site, insert web part to page, the web part is in Miscellaneous category.
For clearly:

Can't checkout Project files from SharePoint 2013

I have library with 'require checkout' set that contains mpp files. I have MS Project 2013 (SP1) installed locally.
If I choose edit for one of the mpp files, it simply opens in MS project as read-only and doesn't allow me to save it (only as a local copy). There's no option to check-out anywhere. Obviously I can check-out manually in SP before opening then check in again
afterward but it seems clearly wrong that I'm allowed to click "Edit", make changes, but then be unable to save back to SP again (even if you switch back to SP to check-out, Project still thinks you've opened it Read Only and won't let you save back
to SP).
What am I missing?

Hi Dylan,
Didn't you have this message just above the ribbon in MS Project 2013?
Using Project Server 2013, MS Project by default opens projects in read-only mode, the user having to intentionnally click on the "check-out" button to check it out. That being said, I'm not sure if the behavior is the same with a project plan opened from
a SharePoint librairy but it is worth checking this point.
Hope this helps,
