Slow Project Server with Project Permission Mode

Hi,
I have a Project Server 2013 Installation with Project Server Permission Mode.
The Sharepoint 2013 topology is composed of one application tier, one searh tier and two web fronts.
The issue is that Project Server is responding slowly especially when it is about to :
- logon
- display security groups (AddModifyGroup.aspx).
I enabled the development dashboard and I turned on network mon to follow any suspect communication but nothing seems to be related to this slowness.
Any Help ?

You can also review the Hardware and Software requirements http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee683978(v=office.15).aspx by verifying the datasets from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161198(v=office.15).aspx
Also please check if the Distributed Cache Service is running on the server where the Project Server Services are running http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219572(v=office.15).aspx
You have also mentioned that Search is configured in the farm. Is Project Service running on the server where Search is configured? If Project Services is running on a server where Search Services is also running it would be good to check if the server is
running out of memory when Crawl is running. (Look for noderunner.exe in Task Manager)

    Any one got any ideas?

  • How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2010 project file that includes the view?

    Hi, this question has been answered for 2013. The answer here suggests that it can be done in  2010.
    See:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/3affdc4f-36bf-4381-8b75-27c73465efd4/action?threadDisplayName=how-can-i-create-a-url-for-a-pwa-for-ms-project-server-2013-project-file-that-includes-the-view
    Who knows how?

    Hi Sander,
    As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.
    Hope this helps,

  • Project Server or Project Online

    Since we do not have SharePoint and it's not coming soon, what options do we have for Project Server or Project Online?  Will either work without SharePoint? 
    The biggest need for project management is to allow the staff assigned to tasks to be able to update their portion of the project.  More and more of our project managers are using MS Project Professional at their desks.   Any recommendations? 

    Doug:
    Project Online/Project Server are SharePoint applications. You cannot have one without the other. If you are not familiar with these technologies, I suggest that you consider at least discussing your direction with a certified partner. It may be that you
    can accomplish what you want using Project Pro and SharePoint online with Project Online. You can synchronize an individual Project with a SharePoint task list and users can update their assignments in SharePoint. If you need Enterprise features, cross-project
    reporting, resource management and the like, Project Online is the way to go.

  • I want to break inheritence and create unique permissions in a Project Server 2010 project site list/library.

    Some Project Managers want to restrict permissions on certain lists or libraries in their Project Server 2010 project site. However, when I have done this for them, by breaking inheritence to the parent site and then removing/adding users with unique
    sharepoint permissions, it seems that when the project schedule is published, some of the newly created permissions are lost.
    I have tried creating a SharePoint group at the project site level and then applied it with specific permissions (eg. Contribute) to the list/library and this seems to work better but I haven't been able to confirm yet if this will work in the
    longer term.
    Does anyone know what is the best method to break inheritence and set up unique permissions on a list in a Project Server 2010 project site that will not be lost when the project schedule is published?
    Thanks
    Peter

    Thanks Lynda
    I am aware that I can disengage the entire permissions sychronisation using that setting but that is not what I want to do.  I just want to be able to break the inherited permissions on individual document libraries or lists on specific Project Sites
    so that I can restrict access to nominated people.
    My issue is that when I do this, I find that some of the amended permissions disappear from time to time.  It seems to be related to when the schedule is published.  They
    don't revert to the inherited permissions, just some of the people who I have given direct access to no longer have access.
    Im just trying to find out the best way to manage setting non-automated permissions on a single list or library in a Project Server project sites so the changes stick.

  • Can Project Lite be used with "Project Online with Project Pro for O365"

    Hello MS Support,
    I am aware that Project Lite does not functions as a stand alone, it either works with Project Online or Project Server. However, I wanted to check and be very sure before buying, if Project Lite will work equivalently well with "Project Online with
    Project Pro for O365".
    Project Lite:
    https://products.office.com/en-IN/project/compare-microsoft-project-management-software
    Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365:
    https://products.office.com/en-us/project/project-online-with-project-pro-for-office-365
    Prompt reply will be a great help.
    Regards,
    Urvashi

    Urvashi:
    Project Lite grants access to update timesheets and tasks only. You cannot use Project Pro to connect to Project Online with this license. Everyone who manages schedules using Project Professional or Project Pro for Office 365 must have a full license for
    Project Online and a license for Project Pro. Project Lite is not a license that applies to on-premises installations. For that you acquire a different type of license.

    My question is related to project working and using Project Online to track projects.
    * Can I use a single "Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365" subscription for tracking and creating reports about all project sites and their tasks in Office 365?
    Meaning, if we have multiple projects designed in Project Pro and then uploaded directly to Office 365, can we gather the task, resource and progress information from these projects (created directly to Office 365) in a Project Online overview? One person
    using Project Online to oversee multiple projects, others uploading their projects and changing task information in Office 365 to a SharePoint site with Project Pro and Office 365 subscriptions.
    We want to have one person with Project Online overseeing the progress and create reports on all projects that have been uploaded to Office 365 (Project Portfolio Management), but not creating new projects. Is this possible with just one Project Online subscription?
    The other users would all have an Office 365 Enterprise 3/4 subscription for accessing Office 365, collaborating and updating their tasks. Project managers would have a Project Pro subscription for creating and uploading projects to Office 365.
    Thank you in advance.

    Helen,
    Your question is slightly confusing, so let me try and say it this way: 
    1) Your PMs (multiple) will use Project Pro, to create and publish plans to Project Online
    2) You will have one user who will 'administer' Project Online and create reports etc.,
    3) You will not have any other users access Project Online
    4) I am not sure about you 'SharePoint' comment--so excluding this.
    The problem is that, Project Pro+Office 365 does not necessarily give you access to Project Online. This combination is more useful when you are using just Project Pro or using project Pro to sync plans with Task lists on SharePoint Site. Plans that are
    uploaded this way will NOT appear in Project Online. So, the person who has the Project Online license will not have any data to report on.
    Having said that, here are few options:
    1) Stick with Project Pro +Office 365. Team Members can access "Task" lists in SharePoint Sites. In this scenario, Reporting will be somewhat complex, because each site is its own, and you might have to customize to be able to report across multiple sites. 
    2) If you want an easier Project Portfolio Management, Project Online is better. However, in this case, your PMs need to get Project Online with
    Project Pro for Office 365 which will allow them to publish plans to Project Online. Then your user with project Online license can generate reports for the portfolio easily. In this scenario, if you want team members to be able to submit timesheets,
    work with documents etc., you might want to look into getting the Project Lite for them (http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/31/project-lite-may-1st/)
    Hope it helps.

  • Problem with Task Aggregation from Project Server with old Project Server permissions mode.

    Hi, I have installed Sharepoint 2013 with all CU, and Project Server 2013 with June CU update. Later, I attached database from old Project Server 2010 database, all was OK, but now I have my PWA with old Project Server permissions mode.
    After that I have created MySite with users from AD of my company, it's OK, but Task Aggregation not working. Moreover, I have not any errors on the MyTask page.
    You can see that I can insert private tasks, but I can not see any tasks from pwa, however I have a lot of tasks there. Please help me.
    My search works well amd WMA Service too.
    Where directly crawler search the tasks? Maybe there are errors in search log with that ulrs?

    Hi,
    did you setup the Work Management Service Application in the Central Administration? If yes, please check if the Applicationpool account of the Work Managment Service has full Access to the User Profile Service Application (over the Ribbon | Permissions).
    Check also if your Projects are published so that you have a Project Workspace for each Project. In the workspaces you should have a list "Tasks" or "Tasks1" for migrated workspaces. This is important because only Tasks from the workspaces' Tasklist are
    shown in the Mysite
    In any other cases please check the ULS Log and/or the Application Event log. Especially have a look to Distributed Cache Service and the Feed Cache.

  • 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.
    Cheers,

  • 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

    Hi Philip,
    Please refer to thjis thread:

    I think it is a known bug that Elli identified a few weeks ago. I don't know if there is a fix planned soon by MS.

  • What are the dependencies to get a resource name listed in the onwer field in project online in sharepoint permission mode?

    Hi All,
    We have added resource in Project Managers group and onwers group , but still the resource name is not populating in Owners field when we are creating the project.
    Please help...
    Thanks, Rose

    Hi Rose,
    It might be that the user's permissions have been changed directly in his user's settings. Try to see if the user has the correct permissions such as log on, save project, connect with MS Project Pro...
    By the way, the "owner" group is not a default security group. If you didn't customize the default PM group, try only to add this PM group to the user, not the "owner" group.
    Hope this helps,

  • Project Server No project update after timesheet approval

    Hi,
    I work with Project Server 2013, I can create and schedule projects, assign ressources, fill
    in the timesheet and save it for approval.
    I'm using the
    Single Entry Mode 
    When ressources update theire TimeSheet (approved) and I check my project in project web access, I do not see any progress (0% completed)
    Does someone know why my project is not updated?
    Thanks

    Hi Slim,
    Note that once the timesheet with SEM activated is submitted, there are 2 approvals: from the status manager (project plan owner) and from the timesheet manager of the resource. The project plan will be updated once the status manager approved the task update
    AND published the project plan.
    Thus you have to check that the status manager (and not only the timesheet manager) correctly approved the update and also that he published the project plan for MS Project Pro (or eventually from PWA).
    If it is still not working, you could check the PWA queue for potential error messages related to the task update approval and/or project publish job.
    Please tell us if it helps.
    Hope this helps,

  • Project Server 2013 - Project Site Provisioning Settings - Do not create a site

    Hi,
    The Project Site Provisioning Setting "Do not create a site" prevents a site from being created when a project is published. This works, but it still prompts the user with a dialog each time a project is published. In 2007 and 2010, the only
    way to prevent this dialog was to deny Manage SharePoint Foundation. In 2010, denying this permission does not have the same effect. Is there any way to keep this dialog from being displayed?
    Thanks,
    Erik
    Erik RHS

    Hi Erik,
    As far as I know, if you deny the "Manage SharePoint Foundation" permission with Project Server
    2010, it does remove the dialog box (see this excellent
    blog post). Note that you'll get warning messages in the Queue with Job State - 'Failed but
    blocking correlation'. 
    I remember that Paul Mather, a fellow MVP, created
    a macro with custom publish button (the macro suppressed the dialog box).
    Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    From error log it seems you have some custom or thrid party web part activated in your application and that web part is not able to load which might causing those pages to get corrupt.
    As a fix can suggest you below to two thing to check
    1) Remove that "FirePoint.SharePoint.RssViewerWebPart" from your environment and try to access those PWA pages again.
    2) Even after removing above web-part solution does not fix this issue, as it is quality env can you try to disconnect and reconnect the share-point farm . Then try to access those pages again.
    Share us the latest update and your finding on this issue.
