24 Hour Base Calendar

S

Susan

We have had an increasing number of plans appearing on our 2002 server that
have the 24 hour calendar attached to them. This calendar is not available in
the enterprise global template and at the project level is not applied at the
task or resouce level anywhere. When we go to accept updates to plans we get
an error message that pops up saying this calendar has been applied to the
plan Any suggestions on how or why this is cropping up?

It sounds like your Project Server administrator needs to disallow the use
of local base calendars. He/she should do the following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Manage enterprise features link
4. Deselect the "Allow projects to use local base calendars" option
5. Click the Save changes button

After your admin performs the above steps, the managers of the affected
projects will need to open each of their projects, click Project - Project
Information, and then select the Standard calendar. Let us know if this
solves the problem.

This > 4. Deselect the "Allow projects to use local base calendars" option
was already turned off when the calendars started to appear. There is nothing
in the Enterprise Global nor is the 24 hr calendar applied to any resource.
When we go into the organizer and delete the calendar it reappears.

Any other suggestions?

Susan/Dale,

This is now happening to the projects on our server as well - about 25 of
them. We too already have "Allow projects to use local calendars" DESELECTED
so I too am really confused. Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Can anyone provide additional insight?

Specifically, the error message we get every time we open a plan is:

"There is a problem with the calendar name. The project you are opening has
local base calendar names that match the names of local base calendars ina
currently open projects. These include 24Hours1 To preserve the calendars and
scheduling, the existing local base calendars in the project you are opening
will be renamed."

Matt:

Me-too posts are not terribly efficient because they make an assumption that
"my problem is the same" that may or may not be true. What is typically true
is that "some of the symptoms are the same." Is it possible that you have
created calendars in the Enterprise global with names that match calendars
created in the local project files? Could it be that these local calendars
are embedded in templates that your users are starting their projects from?
