Use of WBS Groups across projects
Hi All
I want to use WBSe Groups. Is it possible that i m using multiple projects in my scenario being linked with each other through subnetworks. I have one top level project and rest are interlinked with each other. Procurement is taking place at top level wbse for the whole project. And then moved to 5ht level Wbse in some other linked project. Is it possible to manage all that through WBSe group.
Regards
Dear Saqib,
Yes, you can maintain stock / procurement of material at one WBSe of one project & deliver / issue the material against the production order of the WBSe of the other project. The procedure is as below:
1 step : CJ20N / CJ01 / CJ02 Maintain grouping WBSe of the Project A
2 step : GRM5, Assign grouping WBSe of Project A to Plant & MRP group
3step : GRM4, Assign WBSe of the Project B to the grouping WBSe of the
Project A
Hope, this will help you.
Thanks,

How to set plant to all WBS when creating Project using Copy Standard Project (CJ20N)
Hello
I have created standard project with several WBS. Now I want t o create operative project in CJ20N by copying standard project. While copying I want that the system allows me to define the plant for which the project is created and it gets automatically copied to project defination and all WBS elements. Since I have around 30 plants, I havent maintained any default plant in Standard project. How I can achive this requirement to specify the plant when creating project so that it is automatically copied to all WBS.
MuradHi Murad,
I can see three viable options over here. If you are using the same plant across the project structure (on all the WBS elements) you can then go with the suggestion Saurabh suggested (Defaulting it in the project profile itself). In addition to writing a substitution rule at the PD level, you can also go ahead with the option of mass change in case you have created a project(by copying from an operative project already with some default plant.)? Is something stopping you from carrying out mass change? Please let me know.
Thanks

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

Report PS to check by WBS group
Hi All,
Can we use WBS group rather than project definition in SAP PS report ? I am trying to find the standard report to use WBS group...but cannot find.....
please help.
cheers,
NiesI've used WBS groups for allocations/periodic reposting and planning purposes but never for reporting.
For reporting can create variants which already have the selection parameters filled in. Use multiple selection on WBS field to include/exclude WBS's.

Hi Experts,
Why this WBS grouping is used for ?? , what is the main purpose of this ??
Thanks ,
Dhruv Kumar MalhotraHi,
A Grouping WBS element is a WBS element that has valuated project stock on which the requirements from several WBS elements are grouped together for materials requirement planning (MRP).
You determine that a WBS element is a grouping WBS element by making the following settings for the Grouping WBS element field on the WBS element detail screen (on the Basic data tab page in the standard system)
If this WBS element is to be the grouping WBS element for all components assigned to the WBS elements that have been assigned to this grouping WBS element, enter Grouping WBS element for all materials (1).
If the material components assigned to a WBS element are to have different grouping WBS elements, enter Grouping WBS element for selected MRP groups (2). This could be the case, for instance, if you want to plan electrical and mechanical parts separately.
The valid grouping WBS element is then selected on the basis of the MRP group and plant of the material.
If you have set the Automatic requirements grouping indicator in the project definition of a project, only one grouping WBS element is allowed in the project. In this case the first WBS element on level 1 is suggested as the grouping element. You must then have defined the WBS element as Grouping WBS element for all materials (1).

Sorting and Grouping in Projects View
In Projects view, when either of two of the three grouping options is selected, there are two sorts in effect: the groups themselves are sorted, and the contents of each group are sorted. These sorts are handled differently, depending on the grouping selected and the sort order selected.
(It appears that there is a bit of the old Apple voodoo in here. The results are arbitrary , but they seem to have been carefully chosen to meet most users expectations. That is to say -- and this is an Apple programming trait -- the arbitrariness is faithful to the expected users' needs, not to logic.)
There are four sorts available, and three groupings
Sorts:
. Name
. Date -- Oldest First
. Date -- Newest First
. Library
Groupings:
. Ungrouped
. Group by year
. Group by folder
So that's twelve possible ways to display Projects in Projects view.
Let's look at a few of them. I'm going to refer to the groups as "Year groups" or "Folder groups" and to the contents of the groups as "Projects". So there is sorting of the groups, and sorting of the contents of the groups (same as "within the group"). These I'll refer to as "Groups sorting" and "Projects sorting".
Sort: Date -- Newest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Date -- Oldest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Results are as expected; a reversal of the "Newest First" sort, but with the same groups: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are sorted alphabetically, descending.
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. (Note that this last is literal: a Project named "Aardvark Close-ups" if it's in a Folder named "Zoography" will be listed after all the projects in "Yellow Paintings" and all the Projects in "X-rays, thoracic" if those Projects are in alphabetical order by Folder name in the Library. You can see all the Projects in your Library listed on the Library tab of the Inspector by "{Option}+clicking" the disclosure triangle next to "PROJECTS & ALBUMS" twice.)
Sort: Date - Newest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, newest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder.
Sort: Date - Oldest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, oldest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector (see note above). Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are listed in the order they appear in the Library).
Ernie [asked:|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2816124&tstart=0]
+I see those icons but note that those projects in folders will be in different sections arranged alpha, and then date within. Am I correct on that?+
The answer is, it depends.
If "Group by year" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be by date, regardless of the sort order specified. The Groups-sorting order will follow whatever is specified for the Projects sort order (or default to "oldest first").
If "Group by folder" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be alphabetical, descending, regardless of the sort order specified. (So if you use Projects view, take care in naming your Folders. Use prefixes if needed to force a desired alpha sort.)
If "Ungrouped" is selected, there are no Groups and perforce no Groups-sorting.
That's all I have to say on this topic (today).

Sliding Window Table Partitioning Problems with RANGE RIGHT, SPLIT, MERGE using Multiple File Groups
There is misleading information in two system views (sys.data_spaces & sys.destination_data_spaces) about the physical location of data after a partitioning MERGE and before an INDEX REBUILD operation on a partitioned table. In SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU6,
the script below (SQLCMD mode, set DataDrive & LogDrive variables for the runtime environment) will create a test database with file groups and files to support a partitioned table. The partition function and scheme spread the test data across
4 files groups, an empty partition, file group and file are maintained at the start and end of the range. A problem occurs after the SWITCH and MERGE RANGE operations, the views sys.data_spaces & sys.destination_data_spaces show the logical, not the physical,
location of data.

The table below shows the results of the ‘Confirm Table Partitioning’ query, before and after the MERGE.
The T-SQL code below illustrates the problem.

USE workspace;
DROP TABLE dbo.TestTableOut;
USE master;
ALTER DATABASE workspace
REMOVE FILE TestTable_f3 ;
-- ERROR
--Msg 5042, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
--The file 'TestTable_f3 ' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
ALTER DATABASE workspace
REMOVE FILE TestTable_f2 ;
-- Works surprisingly!!
use workspace;
ALTER INDEX [PK_TestTable] ON [dbo].[TestTable] REBUILD PARTITION = 2;
--Msg 622, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
--The filegroup "TestTable_fg2" has no files assigned to it. Tables, indexes, text columns, ntext columns, and image columns cannot be populated on this filegroup until a file is added.
--The statement has been terminated.
If you run ALTER INDEX REBUILD before trying to remove files from File Group 3, it works. Rerun the database setup script then the code below.
-- RANGE RIGHT
-- Rerun PartitionLabSetup_RangeRight.sql before the code below
USE workspace;
DROP TABLE dbo.TestTableOut;
ALTER INDEX [PK_TestTable] ON [dbo].[TestTable] REBUILD PARTITION = 2;
USE master;
ALTER DATABASE workspace
REMOVE FILE TestTable_f3;
-- Works as expected!!
The file in File Group 2 appears to contain data but it can be dropped. Although the system views are reporting the data in File Group 2, it still physically resides in File Group 3 and isn’t moved until the index is rebuilt. The RANGE RIGHT function means
the left file group (File Group 2) is retained when splitting ranges.
RANGE LEFT would have retained the data in File Group 3 where it already resided, no INDEX REBUILD is necessary to effectively complete the MERGE operation. The script below implements the same partitioning strategy (data distribution between partitions)
on the test table but uses different boundary definitions and RANGE LEFT.

The table below shows the results of the ‘Confirm Table Partitioning’ query, before and after the MERGE.
The data in the File and File Group to be dropped (File Group 2) has already been switched out; File Group 3 contains the data so no index rebuild is needed to move data and complete the MERGE.
RANGE RIGHT would not be a problem in a ‘Sliding Window’ if the same file group is used for all partitions, when they are created and dropped it introduces a dependency on full index rebuilds. Larger tables are typically partitioned and a full index rebuild
might be an expensive operation. I’m not sure how a RANGE RIGHT partitioning strategy could be implemented, with an ascending partitioning key, using multiple file groups without having to move data. Using a single file group (multiple files) for all partitions
within a table would avoid physically moving data between file groups; no index rebuild would be necessary to complete a MERGE and system views would accurately reflect the physical location of data.
If a RANGE RIGHT partition function is used, the data is physically in the wrong file group after the MERGE assuming a typical ascending partitioning key, and the 'Data Spaces' system views might be misleading. Thanks to Manuj and Chris for a lot of help
investigating this.
NOTE 10/03/2014 - The solution
The solution is so easy it's embarrassing, I was using the wrong boundary points for the MERGE (both RANGE LEFT & RANGE RIGHT) to get rid of historic data.
-- Wrong Boundary Point Range Right
--ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION $(TableName)_func()
--MERGE RANGE (15);
-- Wrong Boundary Point Range Left
--ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION $(TableName)_func()
--MERGE RANGE (14);
-- Correct Boundary Pounts for MERGE
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION $(TableName)_func()
MERGE RANGE (0); -- or -1 for RANGE LEFT
The empty, switched out partition (on File Group 2) is then MERGED with the empty partition maintained at the start of the range and no data movement is necessary. I retract the suggestion that a problem exists with RANGE RIGHT Sliding Windows using multiple
file groups and apologize :-)Hi Paul Brewer,
Thanks for your post and glad to hear that the issue is resolved. It is kind of you post a reply to share your solution. That way, other community members could benefit from your sharing.

How to add user in administrator group of project server 2010 with powershell command ?
I want to add one user in Administrator group of Project Server .
Please let me know how to do this through power shell command.Hello,
You would need to use the PSI in your PowerShell commands. Here is a .Net example to get you started, convert this to PowerShell:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ajjose/archive/2013/05/24/creating-a-project-server-user-and-adding-user-to-a-group-through-psi.aspx
Examples of PowerShell and the PSI can be found here in some of the scripts:

http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Bulk-create-Server-Sites-784f7b29
These wont do what you need but will give you an idea of using the PSI in PowerShell

Sharing User Defined Variables across projects
Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to share User Defined Variables across projects. What I have in mind is that I would like to have my User Defined Variables configured in a central location and then insert them into my projects as linked variables so that they update automatically when I change their values. For example, I define a variable named Product_Version that has its value set to 9. Then I insert this variable into all my projects as a linked variable. After 2 months the product version changes to 10, so I change the value of the variable to 10 in the location where it is stored and it is automatically updated in all the projects. Can this be done somehow? I'm new to RoboHelp and I can't find any answer. I've been searching for the solution for some time in the product help, on the Internet to no avail. I even contacted Adobe Support and they redirected me to this forum I used Help and Manual before and their way of dealing with user variables was pretty simple.Hi there
Unfortunately RoboHelp doesn't offer up a way to allow this, At least, not directly.
However, I do believe I found a way to make it happen, The variables are stored in a file named rhvariable.apj. So what you could do is to add this file as a Baggage File to each of your projects that will share the variables.
Now you would create a Shared Location as well as a new Category in your Resource Manager. This will create a common location to store the apj file.
Add the Baggage File to the location. Repeat the process for all projects that are sharing the variables.
Now, when the variable gets changed in any of the participating projects, the shared location should be updated and you can accomplish the goal.
However, note that even though you will have what you are wanting, it will still require opening each of the participating projects, synchronizing the APJ file and generating the output in order to update it all. No way I'm aware of to escape that.
Cheers,,, Rick -
What table storing controlling area from C.Element, wbs group?
Hi All,
Greeting.
In my project right now, I need to bring over data Cost Element Group and WBS Group to BW.
In order to cater this, I fetch data up from setHeader and setLeaf tables.
My Question is how to get information about controlling area that belong to those object, because when I see org. unit field on the table (setHeader table), it's populated with different value with controlling area that I see on their t-code (KAH3 and KJH3).
Is that any table storing controlling area seen on t-code: KAH3 and KJH3 ?
Really need your help.
Thanks a lot and have a good day,
Best regards,
Daniel N.Hi Daniel,
It does not work this way. If you want to extract the controlling area of the obejcts you have to go to the relevant tables of the master data, e.g. for cost elements - CSKB, WBS - PRPS, etc.

Problem in loading multiple lev1 and multiple lev2 WBS elements in projects
Hi guys,
I've a requirement to load (from file) projects with multiple level 1 and multiple level 2 WBS elements. I'm using CJ01 recording to load projects in step 1 and it loads all the projects successfully.
Next I need to load WBS elements of level 1 & level 2 under each projects and also level 1 & level 2 must be linked correctly. Now in this step what I'm doing is that am doing the CJ02 recording to load WBS elements (irrespective of levels) under each projects. But as in the data file, the sequence of WBS records are not guarranteed to be in the exact sequence of hierarchy of WBS elements, what's happening is that though WBS elements are getting loaded successfully, but level 1 & 2 are not getting linked to each other correctly. So the hierarchy is broken. Please help how to resolve this issue like how to design the LSMW correctly.
Alternatively we can use CJ20N for loading the correct hierarchy but here we need to select correct project/level 1/leve2 etc which is difficult in case if a project doesn't have level 2 or level 1.
Please suggest the easiest design.
Cheers guys.Hi,
You have to use levels in recording.
I think using CJ01 only you can upload all the projects with hierarchy.
Just arrange the file records accordingly;
Level 1----
WBSE 1
Level 2----
WBSE 1.1
Level 2----
WBSE 1.2
Level 2----
WBSE 1.3
Level 1----
WBSE 2
Level 2----
WBSE 2.1
Level 2----
WBSE 2.2
Level 2----
WBSE 2.3
Now, hierarchy will be correct.

TFS 2012 scrum board across projects
So we have recently upgraded to tfs 2012. I have a query that I can see in team explorer across projects. Our sprint query has Team Project In @Project, OtherProjectName. In team explorer, this works fine. But when I go to the query in the web interface
and/or the board, it only shows the work items from @Project. I really, really, really love the board. It prevents me from using the stupid scrum power tools to cut up story and task cards for our manual board. I hope this is something that I can make work!
Anyone?

Hierarchical Calculation of POC across Projects
Hi All
I m facing problems in calculation of POC across multiple projects in a specific hierarchy. So that all progress of multiple projects be reflected at the top level specific project. I had maintained the relationship across projects through subnetworks.
When i run cne2. It calculates the progress of multiple projects. CNE5 represents the progress of all projects individually. I want to have the progress of all projects represented in one top level project.
I want to use the Progress calculation through concept of summarization. For that i defined the hierarchy but i m still unable to use that hierarchy in progress analysis.
RegardsOk i know it is way way late - try specifying the treecolumn

All,
This is my question.
1 WBS Element can be assigned to multiple projects ?
I have seen in table PRPS table WBS Element is only the key field , But it related PROJ using the field PSPHI .
In that case it means there will 1 WBS Element can be assigned to multiple projects ?
a®Dzed,
Thanks for your reply.
I am little confused in that,
I have custom table that only one key as WBS, and i need to link WBS element to project . So this part i little confused about the Multiple project thing.
You cleared my doubts
Thanks
