Large and complex project - issues with filtering and views
Hello guys, does anyone met these issues before? Project: over 6k tasks resources incl. baseline used There is something wrong - when I try to filter table, filter applies but immediately the filter buttons disappear.. Also, when trying to switch to Task usage view, it doesn't work (doesn't switch the view). Of course I tried to copy original view from template, did not work. I tried to export XML data and import it into blank new project, did not work either. Only way I could switch into that view is to open New window with that specific view.. but that's crazy, you know.. Any ideas? 😉 Thanks, Milan
Project Site - Navigation link broken on Project Detail Page
Hi, We have Project 2019/SharePoint 2019/Project Web App 2019 on premise system. We adjusted Left Navigation menu for project site as shown below. The links were just moved up/down and indented. No changes made to the URL. The above image shows the navigation structure on existing Project site. Project template is created from existing Project Site. When a new project is created, we see broken link (Project Details 1) for Project Details as shown below and new (Project Details 2) is created outside the navigation structure. Project Details 1 link does not go to Project Information page. It exits out to the Project Center The Project Details 2 link goes to the Project information page as expected but it is created outside the section. Please see the screenshot, for site setting -> navigation settings for the project that created using template. How can we fix this issue on the template? Any help on this issue is appreciated. Thank you.
Is it possible to interact with Project Server data from a Project Server server-side event handler?
I have MS Project Server running on a SP 2016 on-prem SharePoint farm. I have set up server side event handlers for the OnPublishing and OnPublished events. Everything is configured correctly for those, I do extensive logging and I know that they are fired at the appropriate times. My goal is to set a project scoped enterprise custom field from that server side code. I have tried loading/opening the custom field and specific projects using both the Project Server CSOM (Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client) and by making requests to the REST API using System.Net.Http.HttpClient. Nothing seems to work. Using the CSOM I get a (403) Forbidden error, and making REST requests gets me a System.UnauthorizedAccessException. I've tried both with and without using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges. I know that that effectively runs the code as the app pool account, and I explicitly added the app pool service account to the "Administrators for Project Web App" group. I also noticed that there is a "Microsoft Project Server Events" service running in the background, and that service is also using the same account as the app pool, so theoretically adding that account to the Administrators group should give it full control. So why am I getting these "unauthorized" and "forbidden" errors? How can I access a project and set an enterprise custom field from a server side event handler? This should be possible, somehow, right? Or is it just completely unallowed and impossible to do? The only other thing I can think of is that we have switched over from windows auth to claims auth... What do I need to do to use the Project Server CSOM or REST API in a claims-y way?Migration to a hosted environment
Hello, I'd like to get some feedback regarding migrating Project Web Apps (PWA) from your local environments to a hosted solution and therefore a content database migration is no longer an option. In addition some departments will be migrating from Project Server 2010 while the hosted environment is Project Server 2016. A PWA will already be created for each department and users will no longer have access to Central Administration. The end users from the department will migrate their own projects to this new PWA using Project Professional. It is also important to point out that departments do not use custom solutions such as workflows. The only customizations includes out-of-box solutions such as enterprise custom fields and lookup tables. Here are some of the Microsoft TechNet articles I have already reviewed Software requirements for Project Server 2016 Deploy Project Server 2016 Upgrade to Project Server 2016 So here are the questions- What's the best or recommended path for the Project Server 2010 users to migrate? Should they 1st have a local copy of their projects on their desktop/laptops, upgrade their Project Professional to 2016 and then publish it to the new Project Server 2016? Same question as above but for Project Server 2013 users. Anything that affects reporting when migrating from 2010 or 2013 to 2016?
