Shiny-shiny

Sometime over the last couple of weeks - whilst running some BI-focused EPM Demos - I have come to realise that sometimes no manner of demo will get people interested when they just want to jump to the good stuff, the charts and graphs, the decomposition tree, indicators and traffic lights and KPI's etc etc


Sometime's they just want the shiny-shiny


So with this in mind I've given my blog a spring clean and a spruce up.  Time is pushed at the moment but I intend to attempt to post as much as I can over the coming months.  As ever, there will be some trouble shooting and some how-to's that I hope people can get benefit from.

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         ...
