Saving Projects on Server Slow

I am running Project Server 2007 as part of Office SharePoint 2007 on one box
and the SQL Server 2005 a seperate box. The installation is succussful and
everything seems to be working properly. Each server does not have much of a
load on it.

However, when I save a project it seems to take an hour or two before I see
it in PWA.

I have to project queues to running immediately, so wondering where else to
look to make the project save, immediate.

Hi, you won't see it in PWA until the project is published, and this should
be pretty instantanious. You should be able to see the queued jobs in the
admin pages, and teh completed jobs there also. Check that status of the
queues, reset them to their default if necessary (all via PWA). Sometimes
the queues need restarting via services.msc. Assuming you have one SSP, then
you should see 2 of each project.server.queuing.exe and
project.server.eventing.exe. in the task manager. if this isn't the case,
restart the services (you'll probably want to do that anyway)

Check Brian Smith's blog for troubleshooting the queue and the WSS logs.

Hey Ben,

Thanks for you input and I have tried all of above. When I save the project
it takes about two hours. Local I see that the project stays in pending
checkin. When I publish the project it takes one or two hours before I see it
in PWA. Eventually it goes in.

I only have one services and all the queues are set to the defaults. I have
restarted and reboot system and behavior is the same. So I am still
scratching my head.

Are you creating and publishing the project via Project Pro or PWA. If via
Pro, you should get a dialogue box detailing estimated time to save etc, and
some status in the bottom of the screen - what time estimation does it say
here?

Also, then check jobs in the queue via PWA. How may jobs are there, can you
see the save or publish job relating to the project that you have just been
using?

When saving the project to server the status bar shows 10s (i assume seconds)
and for publishing it shows 15s.

10s and 15s is the time that the client estimates it will take for the server
to process the queue. Once the client says completed, you should be able to
view it via PWA (assuming its published of course)
