Wrong Database Access Account (Project Server 2013)

Hi,
After “Connect to a server farm – Create a new server farm”...
In the Specify Configuration Database Setting page of the
SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, in the Specify Database Access Account section, I entered a wrong
User Name.
How and where can I correct it?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
The Database access account is basically the "Farm Admin account" of your farm. It's possible to change it, however it's not a good idea doing that and it's not pretty, If this is a
very new farm then I'll recommend re-creating a farm using correct account. Below are the steps.
1) Run the SharePoint Config wizard and disconnect the servers from the farm.
2) Run the SharePoint Config wizard and create new farm >> give correct user name for Database Access Account.
However if you decide to change it, here is the instructions, they are provided without any guarantee!
Go to Central Administration -> Security, click the Configure Service Accounts link under General Security head. Then select Farm Account from the doprdown list. Make sure the account you use have all the permissions. You need those permissions.
Hope this helps!
Thank you,
Kiran K.

Manage groups Access in Project Server 2013

I am currently set up as Administrator and Project Manager in the Project Server 2013 Account, however when trying to access the section Manage groups, I get the below error, can you please help me?
Sorry,
something went wrong
You do not have sufficient
permissions to view the specified page. Please contact your administrator for
permissions to view this page.
Many thanks,

Hi,
Clear browser cache and ensure the browser has compatibility mode on and the PWA site is trusted. Also you can verify issue with In private browsing mode.
If Issue still persist re-sync your user profile by open and save thru Manage user and verify issue in different machine too.
Hope it will be useful.

No PDP found after restoration of Project Server 2013 !!

Hi All,
I have an issue while performing database restoration of project server 2013. I have followed below mentioned two links for backup and restore procedure
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207307.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207305.aspx
Everything works great ! restored successfully all projects, custom tables, group settings etc. But while opening the projects it prompts error that unable to find PDP etc something like that.
Can anyone please help in such situation as how can we get the PDP pages in database restoration and what is the reason behind that ? Is there anything that I am missing?
REGARDS DANISH DANIE

Hello,
Sounds like a new PWA site collection was created as part of the restoration? The PDPs are stored in the content database. If you are rolling over between environments (prod to test for example), see the post below:

Project Server 2013 Anonymous Access (SP or PS modes)

Greetings,
This has become quite painful. I have two tickets opened with M$ and I've never witnessed that with which I am witnessing.
Simple question, how to enable Project Server 2013 Anonymous Access...I've been at it for over a week, I've tried in both SP perms mode and PS perms mode. And I've built a bone stock SP/PS server to determine if my farm's jacked or not. I get
the exact same behavior...prompt for creds. M$ told me today that anon has never ever been something offered in SP or PS today or at any point in the past. A simple gotomeeting sent that group reeling out off into outer space. I'm glad I
could help them on their technical journey, but damn't if I don't feel used for spending $1000 on two tickets.
Tried everything I could possibly think of...Please help, before I eat a bullet.

When you enable anonymous access to a Web site, you allow anonymous users (and authenticated users who have not been granted access to the site) to browse the entire Web site, including any list, library, folder within a list or library, list item, or document
that inherits its permissions from the Web site
I think you are referring to PWA/_layouts/15/user.aspx if I understood your query correctly.
As you could read, its referring to SharePoint list and libraries and not Project Webpart data.
Anonymous Access: Specify what parts of your Web site (if any) anonymous users can access. If you select Entire Web site, anonymous users will be able to view all pages in your Web site and view all lists and items which inherit permissions
from the Web site. If you select Lists and libraries, anonymous users will be able to view and change items only for those lists and libraries that have enabled permissions for anonymous users.
So this anonymous doesn't mean users can access, PWA pages like Projects.aspx with anonymous account. If this happens all anonymous users would see all projects...
Project PWA site, has pages like tasks.aspx, projects.aspx, Timesheets.aspx, etc. Users who access Project Server 2010 through the Web interface (Microsoft Project Web App) use these pages that are composed of Web Parts, which are modular elements that present
information on SharePoint pages. Now, to get users based data, this checks for user role, permission and data is rendered.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg314584(v=office.14).aspx
I am curious to know if you would like all users who have not been granted access to the site also access your projects? What is the objective or business requirement you are trying to solve here.

Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts. If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
Is it all users, or just a handful?

Project Server 2013 reporting database change in Schema from Project Server 2010

I have a current Project Server 2010 implementation, I am planning to migrate to Project Online.
We have Customized Reports that consume from the PS 2010 Reporting DB.
Are there differences in the Reporting DB schema between PS 2010 and Project Online?
My Question is: if we migrated to Project Online, will the reports crash?
Another question is that, is PS 2013 Reporting DB schema the same as Project Online?

Hi Atia,
IN project server 2013 we have only one database instead of 4, it means draft, archive, published and reporting with in one database.Project Server 2013 reporting database schema tool that can be downloaded.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2013/01/28/project-server-2013-reporting-database-rdb-schema-reference.aspx
There are differences in reporting of on-premises vs. Project Online
The Project Server 2013 reporting schema includes three new tables, 27 new views, and a total of 33 tables and views that include new fields.
Answer-1 : Yes there are some differences between PS 2010 and project Online.
Answer-2 : Reports will crash as In Project Online you have to use ODATA to create report. You can not query project online data for reporting directly you have to have use ODATA.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163015.aspx
Answer-3 : NO, PS 2013 Schema and Project online Schema is different.

Project server 2013 olap database remains in processing state

Hi,
In an attempt to restore the Reporting Database in Project Server 2013, I did an archive and restore of Custom fields. Both of these events were successful, however, the Reporting database refresh kept on hanging in "Waiting to be processed status".
Before this was noticed, the OLAP Database was configured and a build was initiated. Now the status of the PWAOLAPDatabase build just remains in the "Processing..." status. What am I to do here? Thanks!

Hi Jaco,
It seems like your reporting database refresh has failed, so the OLAP DB cannot be generated either. It could be due to a large resource pool.
See reference below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/7ac3bb1b-6621-46f0-a6c5-d9a04f770418/reporting-database-refresh-project-server-2010?forum=projectserver2010general
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2011/07/14/project-server-2010-reporting-database-refresh-failing-with-large-resource-pools.aspx
Note also that you can click on "processing" (as per your screenshot) to have the OLAP DB creation log in order to have more information on the status.
Hope this helps,

Hi Jacob,
Have you tried re-publishing the projects from MS Project and see if that helps?
500 tasks are quite a lot for the browser to deal with; I usually recommend switching to MS Project when you have that number of tasks for a project

Access Project Server 2013 from personal mobile device

Dear All,
This is something great about Project Server 2013 (PWA) where users can view theirs task & other information on their personal mobiles, tabs etc. But i not able to access my company Project Server 2013.
Is that i am missing something to install or configure PWA 2013 as i am admin for this application?
Kindly let me know

That means your PWA site collection in not published externally so your mobile device can't resolve the DNS. If you connect your mobile device to the same network your Project Server environment is on, it will work as the DNS would resolve. You probably
want to look at publishing PWA externally if you want to use it on mobile devices. Here are some links for you / your IT department, the process is the same for PWA and any other SharePoint site collection:

Project Server 2013 - OLAP Cube Build Issues

Hi,
I have a Project Server 2013 environment with SQL Server 2012 SP1. My cube built successfully and Report Authors group (including me) were accessing the templates and Data Connections from BI centre successfully.
I re-built the cube and suddenly we all cannot access templates or data connection as it says 'Access denied'!
Went to server hosting Analysis Services and checked the role ProjectServerViewOlapDataRole and didn't see any of the check box ticked for database permissions like it was when I initially built the cube and added Report Authors group and account
that is used by Secure Store app. Membership has both account and group.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thank you,
SJ

SJ,
The access of the BI Center, templates and data connections are handled by SharePoint permissions and are usually inherited from PWA.
The ProjectServerViewOlapDataRole simply provides the ability to view the data from the OLAP database. It sounds like the issue isn't with the OLAP but rather with PWA itself. An OLAP error would have only precluded you from retrieving data.
Did someone modify the BI Center site permissions recently such as breaking inheritance?

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

Project Server 2013 Task Reassignment Privileges Off? (Works in Timesheet)

Version: Project Server 2013
I'm trying to give our users access to reassign tasks. I turned on "Reassign Task" on the Global Permissions and gave them security to "Assign Resource" on all their categories.
I've tested this, and the "Reassign" feature is available and working then they are on the "Timesheet" page, but it is grayed out and gives the message:
"This control is currently disabled. You might not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an object or item, or the control might not work in this context."
Again, the same task is available to be reassigned in Timesheet though.
My guess is that this is a Security Permission issue, because my account which I am the Administrator and Owner of the project, I can reassign tasks on both pages.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Justin
It's me

Hi Justin,
Just for your information, as far as I know, the "assign resources" is not necessary for using the "reassign task" feature. The "reassign task" global permission is enough.
To be sure to understand your issue, the "reassign task" button is available for you as admin or project owner, but not for users which you granted the "reassign task" permission to? Am I right?
You are talking about global permissions but did you add the "reassign task" to the
groups permission the users belong to?
Silly question, but do the users have select a task before trying to reassign it?
Hope this helps,

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!

Project Server 2013 reporting security

HI
I have a question and I have seen a couple similar ones but nothing definitive on the topic of permissions/security for Project server 2013 (in project server security mode) for either Excel(Odata) reports or for SSRS reports.
Even setting security aside the Out of the box configuration is certainly not elegant or even usable.
Situation:
In PWA project managers and team members can only see projects they, own, are team members on, or have been granted permissions explicitly to. (Pretty standard - is using security templates and "my Projects"). We are using secure store
and impersonation for access to reports. We do have report authors groups.
As an example a PM needs to create a weekly status report but should not have to pull all the data back to then filter for their one project.
However, when a PM goes to either SSRS or Excel using oData they can see every project in the company. This is just does not make a lot of sense. Why would I hit the database for 100projects when I only care about one and yet there seems
to be a lack of information on the topic. In contacting Microsoft we were told there was nothing we could do that is how it was designed.
REALLY???? (see above)
What we have come up for our approach is that we're currently using the UserID value to set parameters in our data sources, but are looking for more 'elegant' approaches
to security (if they exist) as there are some liabilities with this approach (EX is a report author forgets to put the parameter in the users will get everything back.
QUESTION:
If there is not another approach then we will stay with it. We can't imagine there isn't a better way.
Additionally, the Project user view only contains the identity of the project owner not the rest of the team members (including sponsors who might need to see the data.) so where are they in the database?
Tasks

Hi Paul,
I have a similar situation only I'm using Project Online. I have setup Groups and Categories where there is a relationship between clients and groups, and projects and categories.
Only issue is that when running a report a user receives an error and then all the data shows for all projects irrespective of the group/category/project relationship and the fact that user only exists in one group (and therefore can't see
or access the other projects in PWA outside of their group.
Hope that makes sense.

Conrad
