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

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.'. I have seen this noted previously on a similar issue: http://nearbaseline.com/blog/2013/06/ms-reporting-project-publish-jobs-failed-after-aprilcu/comment-page-1/#comment-14741 This is  caused by Baselined Milestones having NULL Baseline Cost values Original bug note with potential workaround is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2012/05/23/project-server-2007-reporting-project-pu...

** 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 ...
