Project online - Designer workflow Approver Name

$
0
0

Hi All,

We have a site workflow for Project Online. Its an approval workflow. In this, a parallel approval task is assigned to multiple users in a group - based on first approval/rejection workflow moves further.

We need to capture this approver's Id. As this task is assigned to multiple ppl and only one of them approves it, how to get handle of approver's name?

Tried with 'Modified By' field in Project Server approval task list but could not find unique identifier to get to completed task.

Any way to achieve this? Your help is appreciated.

How can I add task "Status" field to an enterprise view? in Project Online/Server

When I want to add "Status" field, (which is available in MS Project's desktop app) in one of the enterprise views, it doesn't show up.

In fact there is no such a field name. Does the field name changed in Server environment?

I am using Project Online (Microsoft's Cloud base project server)

Your advice greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Naser

Project Sites linking back to another instance!

We previously upgraded a copy of our 2010 data to 2013 to prove-in the process and test functionality. I'm currently trying to migrate a latest copy of 2010 databases into another instance so we can use it for production, leaving the old data in tact for development purposes. Did the following:

  • Got the content database mounted to the web application and upgraded
  • Got the 4 schedule databases converted to a service database mounted to the web application and upgraded.
  • Locked down the other content database.
  • Provisioned the new instance with the new ProjectService database. Viewing site collection shows new instance tied to correct content db.
  • Ran upgrade on web instance
  • Ran enable SP feature on the pwa site
  • Checked in Manage Project Web Apps and instance shows there as provisioned.
  • Checked Edit Project Web App site and correct admin account shows.

The problem I am running into is when I bring up the site I can see the schedules, but when I go to Bulk Update the sites in PWA settings, the "Bulk Update Connected" is not on the menu. When I look at Connected SharePoint Sites is pointing to the other instance. When I try to change the path manually, I get "The website does not exist or is not configured for project web app."

I'm lost. Can anybody point out what I am doing wrong and how to fix? Help...

Hi Gents,

I will ask for a advice as am bit confused on how should I go upgrading our 2008R2 RODC to 2012R2 RODC.

Can you please correct me if I'm wrong on this steps that I should go through.

Decommission my 2008R2 RODC.  Means Demote and Create a new 2012R2 RODC from scratch or can I go directly upgrading my 2008R2 to 2012R2.

Any advice would be highly appreciated im confused and dont want to affect our primary DC by using Adprep.exe.

Thank you.

I recently installed office web apps on Sharepoint 2010 and word and powerpoint work fine but when clicking on an excel file it says "Unable to process the request. Wait a few minutes and try performing this operation again."  Excel is running under the same application pool as word/ powerpoint so it shouldn't be a permissions issue.

Hi, My aim is to regulate consumption of internet usage within the unit since we do not have unlimited data bundles per month but in our unit all users are having equal levelin accessing the internet, we have now decided to differetiate levels of access based on the needs

of different users/groups so we are thinking of having a tool that can set levels of access according to the user/group the server is installed with windows server 2012 R2 Any ideas will be very much welcome. Thanks Boaz

Bulk delete "Remaining Works"

$

Hi All!

I have a Project Server 2010 (SP2) and a more thousand old projects with many tasks and assignments in them.

I need bulk remove a Remaining Work from these projects. I made a list with necessary Proj_UID's, I have full access in DB and I can bulk publicate projects. I think easiest way is modify data in DB's.

My main idea is

  1. Use a data where PROJ_UID= <from my list> 
  2. set to zero the   [TASK_REM_WORK]  row in [dbo].[MSP_TASKS]  table in DB ProjectServer_Draft,
  3. set to zero the  [ASSN_REM_WORK] row in  [dbo].[MSP_ASSIGNMENTS] table in DB ProjectServer_Draft,
  4. and bulk publish the projects from list after it.

 I use only Draft DB, cause don't want a hunt for these data in Published and Reporting both.

Am I right? 

Maybe I lost something? 

Thank in advance for answers!

Remote Desktop - Virtualizing a Second Monitor on the Client Machine

$
0

Hello all,

I am the network admin for a small law firm. Recently, I have set up a remote gateway on a Small Business Server 2011 server that about 12 workstations are connected to for remote access. I then set up Remote Desktop on the users machines and everything seems to be working just fine. The problem is that users have used GoToMyPC for years and just aren't satisfied with the Remote Desktop interface, meaning we might go back to the old system if I can't  find a way to make them happy, and I really like Remote Desktop and think that it is, overall, a better solution. The part they're complaining about is that windows remote desktop presents a desktop/monitor configuration matched to that of the client computer on a remote desktop connection, as opposed to mirroring exactly what appears on the server-side, regardless of the client monitor configuration. I personally think that the way remote desktop handles this mismatch is way better than scrolling across two monitors on a single-monitor machine like they're used to (this is also sort of the way tightVNC works), but that really doesn't matter...

The only "solution" that I am aware of is to set up tightvnc on each machine and have users VPN in and use that, but vnc uses a scroll bar, as opposed to allowing them to put the cursor at the edge of the desktop like GoToMyPC, so I'm sure they wouldn't like that...

Anybody know of a way to get remote desktop to provide this functionality or another program that would, preferably without requiring users to connect via a PPTP VPN?

Thanks,
Matt

Synchronization failed between TFS 2013 and Project Server 2013

Hi all,

I am actually trying to integrate Team Foundation Server 2013 and Project Server 2013 on premises. But I am facing some issues and I have no idea how to solve it. I do not find many help on Internet.

So far, I have already created a enterprise plan in MS Project and a team site in TFS. Also, as you can see here, I have successfully mapped enterprise and team project.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE>TfsAdmin Project
Server  /MapPlanToTeamProject /collection:"http://tfs.nalysa.corp/tfs/Nalysa Pro
jects/" /enterpriseproject:"Project Sample" /teamproject:"Project Sample" /worki
temtypes:"Feature, User Story, Bug, Task"Mapping enterprise project Project Sample to team project Project Sample.

...................
You have successfully mapped enterprise project Project Sample to team project P
roject Sample.


After the mapping, I have created some tasks on project and unfortunately the tasks are not synchronized with TFS. 

FYI, I am using SharePoint permission mode:

Url: PS C:\Users\spfarm2013> Get-SPProjectPermissionMode http://bali/project
SharePoint
PS C:\Users\spfarm2013>

Please find here some interesting information that I can find in the logs:

01/02/2015 18:43:50.69	w3wp.exe (0x1104)	0x3670	Project Server	Security	aibp8	High	Impersonation is not supported  in SharePoint permission mode	24cadb9c-6d78-f002-9b41-871b58f49fdf

These logs appears every 30 seconds, I guess everytime the job used to synchronise TFS and Project Server is called. As this job failed, the synchronization cannot be processed

And also the IIS logs of the web services used to communicate (on SharePoint site)

2015-01-02 11:45:19 fe80::add5:81bb:9261:10cd%12 POST /project/_vti_bin/PSI/Security.asmx - 80 - fe80::add5:81bb:9261:10cd%12 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+MS+Web+Services+Client+Protocol+4.0.30319.33440) - 401 1 2148074254 0

It looks like there are an error when the web service Security.asmx is called (error code 500). Looking in the log, the error is "Impersonation is not supported  in SharePoint permission mode". 

Why my services is trying to make impersonation knowing that we are using SharePoint permission mode

Here are some information about the configuration:

  • TFS Foundation Server 2013
  • Project Server 2013
  • SharePoint Server 2013

I will really appreciate any help or advise about this issue 

Thank you very much

I have Project Server setup and also BI Reporting setup (including Excel Services and Secure Store Service) on my environment. I can open the out-of the-box ODC reports in browser and click refresh data. However, for OData reports, I am getting the following when trying to refresh:

An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again.
We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.
The following connections failed to refresh:

If I open the OData reports in Excel client and enable content, I am able to refresh without issue. Is it how it is supposed to work or I need to have Power Pivot (other suggested) install and configure.


Configure SSL with Firewall, Not IIS

Hello

We have a project server 2013 installed on a single server. We are using SSL that configure on the firewall (Not IIS.) so on IIS we just use http binding without https.

On AAM, we also use the http link without https. Now browsing the PWA using http from the local machine is working without any issue. However, when we browse PWA from the internet using HTTPS, all project server web parts are blocked and stop working. On IE we received the following error screen

Using chrome debugger, we found that PWA is trying to reach the web services using http, which is not allowed on the firewall.

Is there any way to force PWA to call the web services using https?

Here is a similar post, but he fixed it by set the certificate on web server, and this is not allowed on my case

I have MS Project 2007 which I need occasionally. I need to load it on Surface Pro 4 I have a disc and a legal key.

I was previously given a link to download the software MS Project onto my SP3.

How do I do it now?

This is what I got from the technical support at Microsoft!!!

They think that the Surface Pro 4 has a disc. 

 

Hi Manny,

As promised, here are the steps on how to install the Microsoft Project 2007 on your Surface Pro 4:

1. Insert the Installation Disc on your Surface

2. Go to the File Explorer and under This PC, look for drivers and drives.

3. Open the drive for the disc and open the folder Office 2007 project

4. Look for Office 2007 project (has a yellow circle at the left side of it)

5. close the power ISO page that will appear

6. Open Office Project Professional 2007 folder

7. click on setup.exe

7. On the dialog box that will appear, click on OK.

8. A new page will appear for the product Key, enter the product Key

9. click on continue

10. click on Accept the Terms and Agreement

11. click on install now.

Then just close the following page that will appear.

I hope this will help. But if incase you'll need further assistance, plase call us back and provide us this reference number:1327675090

PS 2010 - PWS custom web part 401 errors

Hi,

I've just done a refresh of data in our test environment (5 DB copy from Prod; re-create PWA etc). It's working fine except for a custom web part data from custom fields on PWS sites.

I'm seeing the following in ULS:

System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.  
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)

This happens for all the project sites that were migrated across from prod. It does NOT happen on any newly created project sites. Any ideas?

Andy.

I have an Excel doc saved in my document library on a project site that I was editing. Once I was done I closed it. Came back to edit the doc but I got a message indicating that the doc is being edited by me so I cannot access it at this time until it is checked back in. I went to check it in but it doesn't even seem to be checked out. I cannot figure out how to check the doc back in so that I can open it for editing. What am I missing?

Help!
