first bug of #Project2013 #sp1

Interesting - Setting Baseline0  adds values to ALL baselines.  Then editing Baseline0 costs changes all baseline costs

Repro:

  • Create task of 1d
  • Add a cost resource
  • Set Task Usage at bottom window
  • Add Baseline 0 Cost, Baseline 10 cost, baseline 4 cost (or some others too)
  • Add some Timephased costs into Cost timephased field
  • Set baseline
  • All baselines are set with a value
  • Edit Baseline0 Cost TImephased entry
  • All Baseline Values change
  • Scream and bang head on table
** UPDATE **

Having looked further into this it appears that this only impacts baseline cost timephased values.  However this is a MASSIVE impact as it could increase file sizes fairly significantly as the Baseline Cost Timephased Values for Baselines >=1 are no longer independent values.  Put simply, BAseline 1-10 Cost Timephased will equal Baseline0Cost, and cannot be set independently.

Here is an updated repro

Prep:
- Firstly create split view with task usage on the bottom and gantt at the top
- add Cost, baseline Cost, Baseline1 cost, other baseline cost fields to the Task Usage Timephased section
Repro:
1) Create a task (any duration)
2) assign a resource to the task that has a standard rate so we see costs timephased in task usage pane
3) Now set Baseline0
BUG:  See that Baseline 1-10 Cost values in timephased data now all have a value, not just the baseline0cost value
4) Now edit an element of the timephased baseline0 cost data
BUG:  All Baseline Cost Values change in that time segment to the value you edited
5) Now try edit a timephased segement for basline 1 cost
BUG:  Notice the edit wont set
6) now try settings Baseline 1 (or another >0)
BUG:  Timephased BaselineX Cost Values NOT Created


here's what a plan can look like when baseline0 is set.  In the bottom pane I have added Basline0 Cost, Baseline1 Cost and Baseline10 Cost but the same issue applies for all of them.





Note;  baseline work values do not show this issue

TPG Apps Highlights - Risk Matrix #projectonline #projectserver #risk

This post is the first of a series to highlight the apps available for Project Server and Project Online from the SharePoint store  ( https://store.office.com/search.aspx?productgroup=SharePoint&qu=tpg ) and direct via your local TPG office. The first of this series will look at the s imple plug-and-play apps that all users of Project Online can make use of quickly and easily.   T hese are: Risk Matrix  Milestone Trend Analysis (MTA) WBS Chart viewer Next we will focus on the challenge of  Resource Request Supply and Demand by demonstrating our more recent TeamLink and TeamManager apps. Team Manager App is a Resource Manager/Owner app for allocating resource supply to Projects and BAU activities and monitoring demands against commitments Team Link App is a PM tool for monitoring Project demands vs the supply provided by the Resource Managers  Finally I will highlight some of the benefits of our integration tools when used in the context of Project Online

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

Migration Project Server (2010 to 2019) Issue 1 - Upgrading from 2013 to 2016 - Error encountered while migrating project data in Content database. The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users

I was intending to write a set of posts on the topic of migrating SharePoint and Project Server from 2010 on premise through 2013, 2016 to 2019 Azure, using SQL Managed Instance as the backend SQL Service.  This set of posts are still getting drafted and updated as we move through this cycle, but I came across a huge blocker this week that I wanted to post on, whilst it was fresh. Our Azure migration machines (2013 and 2016) are: - dual core 2.3ghz - 28GB Ram 2013 server is Windows Server 2012 R2 running SQL 2012 SP1 2016 server is Windows Server 2016 running SQL 2014 SP1 The Project Server dataset we are dealing with here is c.100GB (50% archive data). The uplift from SP/PS 2010 to 2013 went without a hitch over a 2.5hr period which was a huge win.  However when attempting to upgrade to 2016 we hit a hitch. Firstly some background:  When you perform the Migrate-SPProjectDatabase command, the following will happen (well it certainly did to us) - the ProjectWebApp DB fro
