Overwriting Actuals Clocks/hangs

S

Scott Hillje

I am using Project 2002 client, with Project Server 2003. Everything
seems to work fine (as in saving to PServer, publishing, etc), except
republishing all assignments in conjunction with overwriting actuals.

When I republish all assignments and check other options individually
(such as "become the manager") it publishes within seconds, as it
should. However when I check "overwrite actuals", it hangs, until I
kill Project using the task manager. A republish action should only
take a second or two... I have initiated a republish/overwrite action
and left it for 3 hours, and it was still clocking when I returned.

I have also tested this on Project Server 2003, and it behaves the
same. Another detail: I have one manager who is still using Project
2002 client (with the same Project 2002 server), and he can
republish/overwrite to the same server without errors. I am wondering
if perhaps one of the WEB SQLServer database tables is being locked up
in some fashion... given the scenario described above, if that is the
case it would have to be a table that Project 2003 uses and that
Project 2002 does not use.

Any advice/ideas?

Thanks,
-Scott
