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 simple plug-and-play apps that all users of Project Online can make use of quickly and easily.  These 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
  • ResourceLink for the synchronisation of resources, custom fields and custom field values between your on-premise data sources and Project Online.
  • PSLink for transactional input/outputs from your on-premise data to Project Online 


So... here is part one of (many)....

Risk Matrix

TPG's Risk Matrix provides a quick and simple mechanism for aggregating and displaying project risks in a 5x5 matrix.

The app can be embedded either on a Project PDP, a Project Site Page or Homepage, or even viewed as a site level app where you can manually select the Project to interrogate (see below for screenshots).

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...

#projectserver2013 VIEW FAILURE: The view failed to load. Press OK to reload this view with the default settings. Press cancel to select another view.

** 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 ...
