This is an issue that was found by one of our premier customers when making an annual rate change to their resource rates using a custom application and the Resource PSI web service. They were finding that the updated rates were not present when they opened plans after the rate change – but if they […]
Take a look over at http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectadministration/archive/2012/02/29/microsoft-project-server-and-sharepoint-server-2007-and-2010-february-2012-cu-announcement.aspx for the full details of the release, and thanks to Rob for pulling the details together and of course to the engineering team for all their hard work on getting things fixed! There will be a slight delay with the SharePoint Server and the roll-up packages, due w/c March […]
Thanks to Guillaume from TPG for pointing this out, and for Rob for digging out the answer. Our cumulative update for August was considerably smaller than the one for June. How come? Its cumulative isn’t it? Doesn’t it just get bigger? Well the change that happened with the August release – and all future Project […]
There is plenty of excellent content on TechNet and MSDN about Project and Project Server, and it is updated regularly. To keep up with the updates what better than the RSS feed! Newly published content for Project Server 2010 – http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197692.aspx and This list is also available in an RSS feed (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=186461) Newly published content […]
A quick posting to finish the week – and one that has some history… In the dim and distant past (perhaps as long ago as Project Server 2002…) when I first joined the support team I remember this being one of my first cases. The answer hasn’t changed through to Project Server 2007 and Project […]
I was doing some investigations this week on the Resource Plans Web Service and want to share this as it probably gives more information than we have in the SDK currently – or at least pulls it together. The example I will be working towards is adding a resource to a resource plan, along with […]
Thanks to Jon and Mark on our team for this article on ADSync. Sometimes there are lingering questions around Project Server and Active Directory Sync or specific scenarios to watch for that aren’t documented. One of the biggest of these is something we’ve come to call AD GUID mismatches. This is when a user being […]
This is a long time coming, prompted by a question on the forums http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/project2010custprog/thread/94af5d03-2606-4899-90aa-d17dddc3829b and a promise I made in my blog from 2007 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2007/12/06/setting-custom-field-values-using-the-psi.aspx. This was created targeting Project Server 2007, but there should be no issues using the exact same approach with Project Server 2010. I have built this around the SDK LoginDemo […]
We have had a couple of questions recently relating to this, so thought I’d post some explanation. In Project Server 2007 we hid the option to make flag custom fields required as soon as you selected a custom field type of ‘Flag’. In 2010 we just greyed out the option, which might be what has […]
I posted a while back about an issue where the Application Server had an alias for the SQL Server, but when the Analysis Services cube build was requested the alias was passed to the Analysis Services server and it didn’t know the SQL Server by this alias (even if it was in fact the same […]
