Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

Hi All,
i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage.
i don't know why this type of problem is occur.
FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
project server 2013 online its giving error.
so please help me to solve this type of issue.
Thanks

I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view. Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online. And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id.
Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly). Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Spiro,
1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
Hope this helps,

Need to create a TASKS page with a filter default in PWA Project Server 2013 (Online)

Never done this so, I am wondering How to go about or what I would need to create a simple PWA page like "Tasks" in Project Server 2013 online where it default to a filter that is set to not equal to the user that is logged on?
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
The "my tasks" page or "my timesheet" are automatically filtered on the user currently connected. Unless you are using workarounds such as status manager or delegation, I see no way to bypass this.

Project Server 2013 timesheets not showing up for approval

We're using Project Server 2013 and entering timesheets. I'm a team manager who is set up as the timesheet approver for a few people, including Nicole.
Nicole opens her timesheet and fills it in for the week. She applies time to four Administrative tasks and two project tasks.
Nicole submits her final timesheet for approval. (We have also tried having her save it first, then to the final submission, with the same results.)
I go to my approval screen and see the four Administrative tasks listed as separate lines. I do not see the project tasks.
I select the four Administrative tasks and approve them. They disappear when the screen is submitted.
In previous weeks, and with some other employees, I would immediately see a single line item that said "My Timesheet" for Nicole which I could then approve. But recently this stopped, and I do not see her timesheet.
If Nicole checks the status of the timesheet it says it's submitted to me.
On my Approval page if I go to History, Timesheets this timesheet is not listed under "approved by me" nor is it under "my resources unsubmitted timesheets." It's in limbo.
The only fix is for Nicole to recall the timesheet and resubmit it. Then it shows up on my Approval page.
Any suggestions?
-- Paul

We resolved this. The solution was as follows:
Go to PWA Settings, and under Security choose Manage Groups.
Click the Team Members group.
Scroll to the Categories section, and in the Selected Categories area highlight (select)
My Tasks.
Click the box to allow the permission called Adjust Timesheet which is under the grouping for Resource.
Now don't ask me how or why that works. It's not a setting that intuitively matches what's going on. But it fixed it for us.
By the way, we had a number of other timesheet issues (view failures, etc.) that were all cleared up when we installed the April 2014 Cumulative Update for Project Server 2013, as well as SharePoint 2013 SP1. I highly recommend both.

Matching resources based on skill profile (Project Server 2013 Online and Project Pro 2013)

Hey gang,
Has anyone seen any reported bugs surronding the resource matching feautre in Project 2013 (On-Line)?
I have done this before, so I know how this works. In fact, I get different results when I try the Match button in Project Professional 2013 (on premise), versus when I try to use it via Build Team from Enterprise in PWA Project Details. i.e.,
when setting up the custom enterprise resource field for matching I have selecting the option to use this field for matching, then I populated my resources' profile with a value accrodingly.
Also noted that I do not see the matching button when using the Build Team from Enterprise for Resource plans, is this normal?
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
I didn't have a chance to test it. Nevertheless I can confirm that at least for PS2010, the "match" feature was not available for the resource plan "build team". In my point of view, that makes sense since the resource plan is not intended to micro-manage
activities but more for planning generic skills demand.
Hope this helps,

Exchange Server 2013 Database not showing in ECP after removal of Exchange Server 2010

I recently complete the migration of my Exchange 2010 server to Exchange 2013. I then proceeded to uninstall the 2010 server using setup.com /m:uninstall. At the end of the process I received an error that it did not complete the uninstall.
I checked the server and Exchanged 2010 was removed. When I checked ECP on 2013 it still showed the old 2010 server listed. I used ADSI edit and manually removed the old sever.
Now when I log into 2013 ECP I only see the one serve but when I go into databases, none are listed. I check under the server itself and it shows the database that it is using but it is not listed under the database tab.
If I do a search under the database tab I can find it and adds it to the list. I can then open and view details.
My issue is, after I log out and then back in, I have to run the search to find the database again. In ideas on how to have it show up in the list like it did before I removed the 2010 Exchange server?
Thank you,

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you verify the following things for troubleshooting:
1. Please make sure that AD replication is completely by checking the user object's homeMDB attribute. This value should contain the DN value of the Exchange Server 2013 mailbox database.
2. Wait 30 minutes for the cache on the Exchange Server 2013 Client Access Server to clear or restart the MSExchangeOWAAppPool on the Exchange Server 2013 Client Access Server.
For more information, here is a kb for your reference.

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram

Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Help needed Regarding Project Server - 2013 Workflow

Hi All,
I am new to Project server 2013 Workflow, hence please help me regarding this. Pardon me if this question is too trivial.
I have created a project type associated with a workflow and my workflow is as follows :
So I am not doing anything here, I am just testing the workflow as mentioned by technet site : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458865(v=office.15).aspx
But it is mentioned that, after a minute or 2, the workflow state will change, also they have mentioned to press the Submit button.
But in my case, the workflow is not moving to next stage [It just says 'The workflow is still processing - which never changes after hours] or I am getting the submit button (Submit button is disabled on the ribbon). Below is the state of my workflow :
PS : I have made the user added to Portfolio managers group as well. But still I am having this same issue.
The Workflow manager is installed properly, and it is working fine in case of List workflow. I am facing the issue only wrt Site workflow for Project server 2013.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
shanky

Hi Kiran,
I am now facing issue while assigning a task to a person in the workflow.
I am having a person named say 'John' , who is included in Project Manager as well as Portfolio Manager.
And I am using a workflow as :
Stage : Conceptual
Assign a task to John (Task outcome to Variable: Outcome5 | Task ID to Variable: TaskID3 )
Transition to stage
Go to Approval
But this is again giving issue as :
Workflow Internal status : Cancelled
Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have
permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}
PS : I have used the same Sharepoint admin account for 'Account Name' in ‘User Profile Sync' , Is this causing the issue? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shanky

Could anyone help me to fix this issue and reason why the Stage gate workflow isgetting suspended.
Thanks,

Check your User Profiles and make sure that the user's domain is correct. We've seen workflows suspend with 401 errors when the User Profile Service syncs with AD and pulls the wrong domain name - for
example if your FQDN is corp.company.com and the user logs in with company\username, UPS might have corp\username instead. Hence a 401 error...
Here is a link that includes the steps to fix this:

Project Server 2013 Work Flow

Hi All,
We planed to have as simple workflow for project, which will go through initiation, planning , execution and monitoring and closure. Is there any easy way to configure this or we need to develop the workflow using visual studio.
Thanks in advance, taj

Hi Taj,
With PS2013, it is now possible to build workflow using SharePoint Designer that requires less/no code than with Visual Studio with PS2010.
