clicking 'My Tasks' brings up error page

morequestions

When selecting 'My Tasks' on the project 2007 home page, it brings up an
error page (An unexpected error has occurred.). It has a 'Web Parts
Maintenance Page' option, but I can't see anything there that will correct
the situation (maybe I'm wrong on that), and it has 'Troubleshoot issues with
Windows SharePoint Services' option. I looked at these and didn't see
anything similar to what is happening to me. Does anyone have any ideas on
what is wrong?

I have the same issue as well, however, it is isolated to a singlr user
within our IT department.

On a similar theme

When selecting My Tasks with a particular user, the page displayed is
headed My Tasks(2), and beneath it the web part is repeated. With a
different user on the same box it isn't. This was not previously the
case. I have edited web part to display hourly remaining work. I have
also deleted it and reinstated the web part. Re-editing the web part
shows a single webpart, but on refresh the part is duplicated.

I found this, which sounds like the same problem. It doesn't give a
resolution, unfortunately.

Hi

My problems in this area increased however I found a solution
From My Task Page I was investigating creating new task/assignment and
Click to expand...
assignments to existing tasks.
This worked occasionally and occasionally it did not. When if failed
to work two separate problems occurred.

1) After making the assignment and opening plan in MSP and then trying
to save the plan I get an error box:

"On making a changing and saving, the following error displayed:
The file cannot be opened. Check that the filename and path are
correct. Project files saved in aversion earlier than MSP 98 can't be
opened..................

Project would then typically crash

I generally found that I could open the plan and remove the assignment
which was causing the corruption then save plan successfully

2) The second manifestion of this issue was on selecting My Task page
- An unexpected error......Web Parts Maintenance Page...etc
I made the situation worse by attempting to delete the web part and
restoring it - failed miserably, so now task page is completely blank

Solution:
Identify the plan which is causing the problem and delete the
published version. If necessary delete all published plans and prove
you can access My Task page.
Open the problem plan and remove the offending assignment. Then
republish all plans

This works on my environment

Let me know how you get on

regards

I have suffered the same problem for a while, a colleague can save projects
(but can't publish due to a foreign key), I can pubilsh but cannot save a
project twice.

I thought it was due to the macros, but this is not correct.

I am the user user that cannot save (more than once) and cannot view My Tasks.

The problem doesn't seem to be an invalid assignment as another user can
save and amend the project - but the fact he can't publish it, does...

Any way I think MS have some testing to do, and I am hoping for a Service
Pack soon as our users are moving away from Project Server to just using
Diaries - which is not good.

I think the last chance is to remove Project completely, and re-install and
create the projects manually.

Hi,

I have exactlely the same issue. I have open a case by MS Support because it
was critical for my customer. Microsoft confirm me there is a bug in Project.
This can occurs under certains circumstances :
*************
We have seen situations that are case triggered by the a user having
multiple assignments that they own on a single task (either delegated or
material resources for whom
they are the assignment owner, and also the presence of an enterprise task
level custom field.

1. Create a new project with a single task
2. Add two enterprise resources (you plus one other)
3. Assign both users to the single task
4. Go to the Task Usage view and add the column Assignment Owner and make
you the
assignment owner for both assignments on this task.
5. Double click the task and go to the Custom Fields tab and enter text
"123"
agains tthe field WP.
6. Save and publish the project
7. Navigate to My Tasks and you will get the error.

Assigning to two different users or removing custom field from the view will
workaround.

- We have also found situations where corruption on the webpart causes such
a issue. (removing the webpart and reading can solve some of those issues).
******************
Until now I still didn't get a way, from Microsoft, how to search these
tasks causing the error.

Alain.

Run the following script on the Project Server database:
USE projectserver_published
SELECT MSP_PROJECTS.PROJ_NAME,
MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.TASK_NAME,
MSP_RESOURCES.RES_NAME,
MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.ASSN_UID,
MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.PROJ_UID,
MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.TASK_UID,
MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.RES_UID
FROM MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED INNER JOIN
MSP_PROJECTS ON MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.PROJ_UID =
MSP_PROJECTS.PROJ_UID INNER JOIN
MSP_RESOURCES ON MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.RES_UID = MSP_RESOURCES.RES_UID
WHERE (NOT EXISTS
(SELECT TASK_UID
FROM MSP_TASKS_SAVED
WHERE (TASK_UID = MSP_ASSIGNMENTS_SAVED.TASK_UID)))

This script will let you know which task(s) in which project are corrupted.

You will then need to delete the task(s) from the project plan, publish the
plan, recreate the task(s) and then republish the plan.

Thanks,

Victor
