#ProjectServer2013 Timeline issue

New project created

PWA Schedule timeline Phases shown in timeline

Project Published

SPSite Timeline seen to be a match for PWA schedule Timeline

Task #3 – Managing and controlling is deleted (with all its subtasks)

Initial view of PWA Schedule timeline is incorrect (I will forgive this one)

Publish plan and switch between PDPs and eventually the timeline displays correctly

Note the three remaining PHASE tasks

Now switch to the SPSite Timeline….

Notice the new task on the timeline now (making 4)

I have also seen other events where tasks are deleted from the plan, but yet remain in the Project Site Task List (and timeline) so are therefore orphaned, although I haven’t yet managed to repro this particular event

Issues update on #projectserver2013 - Timesheets and Publishing

Reporting Publish ** updated with links to other related discussions, and a VBA macro ** the following issue has been noted on publish since June 13 CU was applied: ReportingProjectChangeMessageFailed (24006) - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.. Details: id='24006' name='ReportingProjectChangeMessageFailed' uid='4d869e56-f625-e311-bb41-005056b90052' QueueMessageBody='Project UID='e3f49977-b2bc-e211-8559-005056b90052'. PublishType='ProjectPublish'' Error='Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'.

** UPDATE ** includes notes relating to secondary bug where Timesheet is created without Administrative tasks. Does this ring any bells? This has been bugging me for months, but finally I have a repro for this: Issue Summary: When a task is deleted from a plan that is approved into a previous or current timesheet - even when there are no actuals on the task - you can no longer view the timesheet The following repro has been proven: - Setup system with Single Entry Mode, with enforced Status Approval before Timesheet Approval - Create resource as own timesheet manager - Create new project - Create two tasks in the same week, starting monday with 5 days duration: 1) Task to assign actuals, 2) Task to delete post submission - Assign Resource to tasks - publish project - as Timesheet User, go to the appropriate timesheet period for the tasks created - Assign actual work to one task (task 1), leaving task 2 with no actual work - Submit timesheet - as Project ...

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 ...
