Migration of 2003 to 2007 Generic Resources

Scott Morrissey

When we run the migration tool to convert 2003 projects to 2007, all tasks
with "Generic" Resources assigned appear on the Project Manager's Task List.
Why does it do this? Is there a way to prevent this? If not, is there a way
to clean it up after the migration?

Scott--

We had a similar issue with our migration. We tried to change the default
assignment owner (vis the server settings resources gui)for the generics that
moved over to PWA 2007, and republish the assignements, but this worked only
for NEW tasks created in the system, not for migrated ones (so you'll likely
need to do this anyway). To resolve the issue with the old assignments, we
found the tables where the default assignment owners were listed for each of
the assignments for the generic resources and then switched them to the
correct 'owners' for all migrated tasks via SQL statements.

One thing that we did not try was to migrate over the resources, projects
and NOT publish them (we turned publish on at migration), then do the change
to the default assignment owners via the server settings resources GUI and
THEN publish each project. This may (?) result in correct assignments for
generics appearing to their owners, but not sure.

Best of luck.
