PS 2007 publishing fails

[Mike]

Open an mpp file and save it to the project server. Assume you
succesfully map resources to enterprise resources, then publish.
Publish consistently fails.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<errinfo>
<general>
<class name="Queue">
<error id="26000" name="GeneralQueueJobFailed"
uid="979a3f56-8bab-4b9d-a16d-ed36c16867e8" JobUID="11ebe9e1-
f093-49b6-8efa-67afb3b03455" ComputerName="CCM-DEVPRJ01"
GroupType="PublishNotifications"
MessageType="ProjectPublishSendNotificationMessage" MessageId="1"
Stage="" />
</class>
</general>
</errinfo>

However failure is inconsistent. The published tasks are not visible
in My Tasks view but are visible in Resource assignments view.
Opening the plan, making a change and republishing seems to sort the
problem out (but not in all cases).

regards

Mike

From the error message you gave, it seems that something goes wrong in the
sending the notification associated. Have you looked at the logs or event
viewer? They may give additional information.

Thanks,

Event log does not overly specific - not sure how to access machine
"trace log" and whether it will help.

Standard InformationSI Entry Point:
Project User: CHEYNE\mmahoney
Correlation Id: 8141b3b0-247e-4413-87cf-12d4714cdbad
PWA Site URL: http://ccm-devprj01/PWA
SSP Name: SharedServices1
PSError: GeneralQueueJobFailed (26000)
A queue job has failed. This is a general error logged by the Project
Server Queue everytime a job fails - for effective troubleshooting use
this error message with other more specific error messages (if any),
the Operations guide (which documents more details about queued jobs)
and the trace log (which could provide more detailed context). More
information about the failed job follows. GUID of the failed job:
f488d469-9e79-47e1-9651-0b2ce180da5a. Name of the computer that
processed this job: CCM-DEVPRJ01 (to debug further, you need to look
at the trace log from this computer). Failed job type:
PublishNotifications. Failed sub-job type:
ProjectPublishSendNotificationMessage. Failed sub-job ID: 1. Stage
where sub-job failed: (this is useful when one sub-job has more than
one logical processing stages).

Hi Mike,

I am going to redirect you to a mail that my coworker Pradeep answered to
the same kind of problem:

Paul, we always try to give a more specific message wherever we can - and
'GeneralQueueJobFailed' is a catchall message. I agree that there is not
much in this error message to troubleshoot further - point taken. But as
Dale says, it does narrow down the problem - the messageType in the error
suggests that there is a problem with your notification setup. May be you
have turned on notifications, but not setup the SMTP server correctly. Or
something similar.

Do refer to the LOG FILES - they may have more details. Default location for
log files: <Drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\12\LOGS. Hope that helps.
