Where is the Report Center in PWA????

Kurt Petteloot

Hi,
Accoring to one of the downloadable Project Server 2007 books called 'What's
new in Office Project 2007', the 'Report Center' is one of the features that
should be accessible through the PWA. However I am unable to locate this
Report Center in the PWA. Can anyone give me clue how to make this Report
Center available?

Kind regards

/pd

you have reporting =>data analysis on menu item left panel

as such there is no such item called as :Report Center:

Hi Kurt,
As /pd suggests, out of the box comes the Data Analyser, however, what also
comes out of the box is the reporting database of project server 2007. The
reporting database allows you to create reports in SQL reporting service.

The way to make these reports accessble is to create a web part page,
include the Reporting Services Web parts and make this page accessible via
the quick launch bar in PWA. This does not come with the standard install,
but you can configure it quite easily.

I hope this gives you another option of how to display reports.

Hi Marc,
Could it be that the solution you suggest provides us with real-time
reporting, in contrast to the cube-based reporting where the data is only
processed once every so often?

Anyway, I'll have a go at this, although I must say there a lot of new stuff
in here for me and I'm experiencing problems connecting to the reporting
services for the moment. I might post some other issue on this forum later on
to try and solve that matter.

Thanks for the hint!

Hi Kurt,

in answer to your question, yes, that is the only way you are able to get
real time reporting. Please also note that since it is relational data you
are quering, it could take some time to get some timephased data using
reporting services.

By saying that, we always incorporate this solution to our clients and
generate the status reports using this method.
hope this helps
