Hi,

I have noticed this question several times but hope someone has figured this
out. We have launched PS2007 to Production and tested over the weekend.
However, we cannot view some of the migrated projects in PWA. The following
error is received:

"Project Center cannot access the project(s) you are trying to view. It is
most likely that you either don't have permissions to view the project,
another user has deleted this project(s) before you were able to view it or
that another user is in the process of publishing the project."

I have admin rights and cannot see the projects. The weird thing is, some
projects show and some don't. We have a highly visiblity and need to have
this fixed ASAP. Could someone PLEASE assist?

Can you see the project in PWA Server Settings>Project Workspaces?
- If you can see it, then has been published successfually and should be
visible in the project center views which would lead me to believe something
is not configured correctly in your security users/groups/categories or
views sections.

If you do not see it in the Project Workspace page, can you see the project
in PWA Server Settings>Delete Enterprise Objects? If so, it has been
successfully saved to the Draft db but not to the Published db. I would
verify that you are not getting any publishing errors in your Managed Queue
page. View this queue right after attempting to publish one of the
problematic projects.

Let me know what you find out.

You can not access any of project DETAILED view ?
I noticed such behaviour for large projects. If you look at event log on
server and find .NET type errors like " time exceeds ..." you may read the
folowing :)

Probably it is timing issue and I hope Microsoft do something to correct
this child bug. When you activate some of project detailed view (by clicking
on project name in Project Center) application server can not obtain response
within affordable time and notify you with silly message you described.

I did not find solution how to corect timing (despite all efforts).
Try to increase overal system performance,separate application and DB server
(if not). Bost DataBase storage system performance. (hardware RAID10 and so
on)
Try to decrease nubmer of fields to display in Project deatailed views.
Hope this help

Vadim,

I don't think this is the issue that the user is seeing, they are not able
to see projects in the project center that they have published.

As for the issue you are raising, this is a known bug for MSPS 2007 for
projects with Projects exceeding 4000 lines. I believe there are some
indexing you can re-run against the MSP_Task and MSP_Assignment tables that
will temporarily fix this issue. Microsoft is aware of this bug, there is a
hotfix out there somewhere and there are plans to include a fix for SP1, no
guarantee however.

Where possible it recommended that plans be kept as far from the 4,000 size
limit as possible by breaking up project plans into smaller pieces.

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the response. Yes, The workspaces are there but some were not
there during our initial migration. Our IT folks detached and reattached the
content database so that the workspaces would appear.

As an admin, I can see some projects but not others. I have checked the
credentials in the system and everything is checked in all fields and in My
Organization.

I checked the delete objects page and ALL projects are there including the
ones I have the ability to view so I don't think it is a publishing issue. It
is truly baffling as to what is going on.
