The evil that is the task field "Published = No" #projectserver

Just a word to the wise...

 If you are running timesheets in a Project 2013 (online/on prem) solution, you must never set the task level field "Publish" = No

 Some things that can happen:

 - you wont be able to view timesheets that include assignments where this flag is in place (web part error)

 - you wont be able to view Status Approval history where tasks include this flag - General Unhandled Exception in _Statusing.ReadStatusApprovalHistoryForGridJson_

 there are other issues... as I catch them I will update the post

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         ...
