How to Configure Project Server 2007 Analysis Services with SQL 2008 SharePoint Addon for Reporting Services

SQL 2008 analysis services for mops2007

Well we sorted it

It’s a bank holiday today but here’s the route we took

Installed SQL 2005 components from dec2005 feature pack on app server

Native client

Bacwards compatibility

  • note: xmo not installed due to SQL 2008 reporting services addon for sharepoint wouldn’t let it

Installed the following bits on app server to get things working

SQL 2008 native client

Xmo 2005 sp 3 cu5 - to get around the previous issue noted KB 972511

Ta daaa everything worked!!!

Only took a week :(

    Hi Carl,

    I know its been a long while since you posted this but the dreaded problem has crept up again when I have rebuilt a customers SP & Project 2007 environment. I have followed Brian's very detailed article and also followed the updates above caused by RS Add in.

    The XMO installer runs fine however I still get an issue with the Cube Builder service complaining about Application Server needs to have Analysis Services server DSO Component installed.

    Does the server need a reboot after installation of the XMO tools to take effect?

    Many Thanks

    Geraint

Restoring PWA Site to another Web App in the same Farm

The scenario is this: SharePoint 2016 Farm with Project Server Two Web Apps Development UAT One PWA on Development Web App. I want to copy the PWA Site on Development web app to UAT to support a testing cycle. As far as I knew there were two options: 1) Content Database Restore and Attach Process would be backup your Dev Content Database, Restore to a new Content Database for QA, then mount the database on the appropriate web app and your off.... Problem:  Although you can do this with the -AssignNewDatabaseID switch in Powershell (to avoid two content db's having the same database id) the Site Collection (PWA) in the db still retains its SiteID which means there is a duplicate SiteID in the Configuration Database.  This stops the PWA site being created and alllocated correctly and becomes essentially orphaned. This method is only any good for MOVING not COPYING Back to the drawing board... 2) Backup-SPSite / Restore-SPSite I didn't believe this ...

Reporting from Project Server 2016 - multiple sites and userviews

Just a quickie... I've been interested in how MS have handled the "multiple PWA sites in a Content DB" thing since I read that this was their new approach.  Most of my reporting is via SSRS so i am reliant (still... in 2016) on DB queries rather than OData feeds (tsk) and this "querying a PWA DB with more than one PWA site in it is unsupported" quote was worrying me. So it looks like what is happening is this. When you create the first PWA site in a Content DB it hard-codes the SiteID into the _Userview view design elements.  This means that your first PWA Site is the default.  All the data for subsequent sites are still held in the tables against separate SiteID's but you cannot utilise the OOTB _Userview components (see below) SELECT        ProjectFields.... FROM            pjrep.MSP_TVF_EpmProject('FF19B767-CA6D-4C4C-B123-C0B5AE5354D6') AS MSP_EpmProject  LEFT OUTER JOIN         ...
