#ProjectServer2010 PWA Provisioned With Errors (no ProjectBICenter provisioned)

Here's a repeated scenario that I thought I'd write up quickly:

On a new environment (2010 SP1 + June 2011 CU V2) I provisioned the first PWA site in the Farm. Unfortunately the site provisioned but with errors, the errors being that the ProjectBICenter did not get created.

I worked through the usual ULS log entries and found a number of records relating to:

- Unable to create Images library due to content type "document" already exists

The fix for this as far as I can tell:
- Open STSADM and run

stsadm -o deleteweb -url http://pwaaddress/projectbicenter

- Navigate to the PWA site and create a new subsite
-- Using BI Center template
-- Named Business intelligence center
-- URL /ProjectBICenter

- now go to the Project Server Service App
-- Select the pulldown menu and select EDIT
-- Click EDIT to reforce provisioning

This should now complete, and in my scenario this stopped the issue happening again

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 w
