MOPS 2007 - SharePoint template issue

[Mauricio I]

Hi Gurus,

This is an interesting problem I am experiencing:

I have a .stp file created from a SharePoint Workspace in MOPS 2007. This
workspace contain several asp pages that are referenced in the site itself. I
am sure the .stp file was created slecting the option 'include content'.

Now, I have promoted this .stp to a site template and I have published a
project selecting the right template for the workspace creation. The
publishing process shows successful but in the queue I have an error, which
XML code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<errinfo>
<general>
<class name="Web is already linked to another project">
<error id="16406" name="WSSSpWebAlreadyLinkedToProject"
uid="202b4738-f664-4f33-aca9-1550974df098"
projectUid="d51f0ff8-95a3-4074-b297-2d8b7de6da7a"
wssFullUrl="http://ProjectServer/PWA/Test1" />
</class>
<class name="Queue">
<error id="26000" name="GeneralQueueJobFailed"
uid="3a2ea6dd-c148-438f-81bb-923601d1a9d8"
JobUID="12a288b4-5a9f-4bc1-9e5e-0f472b5821bf" ComputerName="ProjectServer"
GroupType="CreateWssSite" MessageType="CreateWssSiteMessage" MessageId="1"
Stage="" />
</class>
</general>
</errinfo>


The workspace site is not shown in the homepage list, but is visible in the
lists page, and if I click the workspace name I can see the sharepoint site
created.

Your help is much appreciated!!!

Thanks

MI

I've also run into this problem each time I create a new template... Any
answers would be appreciated.

You have to detach the project from the workspace.

1- Create the project and provision the workspace. Take into consideration
the project must be deleted
2- Customize the workspace to whatever configuration is needed
3- Save the site as template and promoted into Project Server
4- Delete the project; do not delete the project workspace (sharepoint site)
5- Provision new projects based on the template

It worked for me but it took me a lot to figure it out

Good luck

Mauricio:

A better solution is to create a Project Workspace without creating a
project plan. It avoids a lot of extra work and frustration.

You have to create the workspace based on a site collection instead a
normal site.

Works for me, hope this help!!!
