Resource Usage in multiple projects

C

Claire

We cannot see projects the resources are allocated to in the Resource Usage
view since we implemented SP1 to Project Server 2002. Is there a security
flag or a filter somewhere that causes us this problem?
Thanks

Check to see if you have the filter set to Project Team Members. This will
prevent you from seeing all assignments that a resource is on.

There is no active filter on the resources ('all resources' is applied).

Microsoft told us that this option is only available in the 2003 version!!!!
But we remember that this option was existing in our 2002 version before we
implemented SP1!

Has someone else implemented SP1 on 2002 version and not having this same
problem?

Thanks,
Claire

Hi Claire

I had the same problem you describe. It was detailed somewhere on the
Microsoft website with a hotfix for the problem. I applied the hotfix and it
resolved the problem.

Here is my e-mail to Microsoft, good luck ....



"As requested, this details the problems we are experiencing...

We use Project Server 2002 with Project Pro 2002.

E.G. I create a new project plan, build a resource team from the enterprise
resource pool, create a few assignments and publish the plan to Project
Server. I now go into the MSP Pro 'Resource Usage' view I see the resource
information for the current project and the resource information for all
other enterprise projects. I now save and close the project plan and then
reopen the plan. Now the information for the other enterprise project plans
is missing !!!

This seems to have started happening since we applied MSP Pro 2002 Service
Pack 1.
It looks like Hotfix 867802 may fix this problem"

Stuart.

Stuart, thank you very much for the information. We will probably apply the
hotfix.
Before we do, I would like to know since when you implemented the hotfix and
if you got any problem following this implementation?
Thanks again,
Claire

Hi Claire

I implemented the hotfix a few months ago on my PC and I have had no
issues since then.

We have a few hundred resources working on over a hundred projects. So
most people prefer the 'bugged' version of the resource usage view,
where you only see the usage within the current project.

For this reason I have not applied the hotfix on any machine other than
mine. It's only a client update from what I remember.

I am having an issue somewhat related to this. We upgraded to 2003 SP-1 from
2002 SP-1. After the SP-1 for 2002, we noticed the corruption in our
resource usage view. We chaulked it up to the SP-1 but knowing we were
upgrading shortly, we didn't investigate or know about the hot fix. In any
event, we upgraded successful about two weeks ago. It has just become
apparent that our resource usage view is back to normal showing a
consolidated view of all projects associated with each resource, including
tasks in the current plan. Problem is, we are seeing plans that were deleted
prior to the upgrade and even some that were deleted since. Some have
occurrences of assigned hours in the future, some in the past. But the
projects were deleted by an admin through Clean-Up Project Server Database.
Any suggestions or is anyone else experiencing this?
