Jobs in Queue waiting to be processed

[Chris]

We are currently testing Project Server 2007 in our development environment
and have 25 or so jobs stuck in 'waiting to be processed' in the queue
manager. Some of these jobs are more then 8 hours old.

Any ideas?

Chris,

Here is a little trick for force cancelling "Enqueued" jobs. Under
PWA>Server Settings>Manage Queue, expand advanced options and check the box
to enable the option "Advanced Options: Cancel jobs getting enqueued"

With this option now set, check the box of the job in the queue that is
stuck in the enqueued position and click on "Cancel Job". This option
should force cancel the enqueued job for you. This only works with enqueued
jobs and not ones that are stuck in a processing state.

Regards,
Amit

Thanks Amit for the info.

It looks like though all our jobs our not being processed by the queue
manager. All our tests we have done for the day are still sitting in teh
queue with a status of 'waiting to be processed'? I'm wondering if I am
missing a service that needs to be restarted? We did reboot the application
farm server last night and this is the first time I have seen the jobs sit in
queue in that status?

Please do not disregard transactions in the queue unless absolutely necessary
as you will lose this data. Instead, understand why the jobs are failing and
tackle the problem at the source.

Ensure the Queue service is running and that the SQL databases are online.

Just restart the project server queuing service. We had the same problem when
the project server rebooted. This should help.

I applied one hotfix which provided by Microsoft to rectify the My Task
issue. (office-kb950816-fullfile-x86-glb)

Also I applied MOPS 2007 SP2. This rectified the Queue issue in the Project
server.

Hey Guys,
Hurreyy, I got the solution for the same. Simple check the credentials
of the services "Office Queue Service " and Office Event Service" and make it
to network credentials n also make the same credential type to the site on
which you are trying to publish the project. and thats it. Your work is
done. .

Cheers
Abhi

I was having the same issue and checked services as mentioned. My services
were not started. I started the service and it worked all my jobs were
processed completely.

Hi one solution is the next.

In the server, in the section of services check to "Visual Studio Team
Foundation Server Task Scheduler" is running and restart Microsoft Office
Project Server Queue Service and Microsoft Office Project Server Events
Service task.

I am having the same issue. I can't restart the que every time when user
saves. The Queue is not at all processed. Any idea why it is not processed?

Thanks
