Very simple oData Portfolio Report #projectserver

Reporting in Project Server 

 Yes I know you have PWA for showing a cross-project view of the world, but it's not the most customisable is it.

 With Project Centre and Project Schedule views being the primary value add of Project Server, it's a shame is just not a bit more... useful!  You could show milestones, have easier filter options (one click not 4) that kinda thing.

 So lots of people ask "can I have Project Centre, but in a report please".

 OK, here you go...

This is made up of just a couple of components:

 1) a simple oData feed to the Project View table
2) some formulas to do the drawing
3) Slicers to drill down into the portfolio
4) Status date grid highlight (where set on the project) - this is done using another grid formula

 The report shows a couple of example view options (date periods to show), handled by the formulas

 This can then be published onto any SharePoint site as a Portfolio view, e.g. IT Customer Portal, reducing 

 enjoy!

    Looks great, but where is the downloadbutton or where are the real instructions to create the report myself?

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
