Will actual work be lost after binary rebuild?

[Doug]

I have a project that I suspect is becomming corrupt. The symtoms are slow
saving and slow publishing, and also the web views differ from what I see in
the deskto[ Project application.

Now on to my question: Will I loose actual hours if I a); use the binary
rebuild method b); or save project to XML and re-import?

I have used the save to XML technique before, and I *think* I lost the
actual hours during that process.

Thanks in advance!

Help!

You shouldn't lose actuals through this process. You do have to republish
and overwrite actuals to force the data back into the web tables where users
will see it in their timesheets.

Marcus:

Doug's advice is sound. May I suggest that you take one more step after
completing the export to XML and import back. See the following:

Thanks for the prompt (and always on-target) response.

Are you saying that I will not loose actuals with either of the two options
I mentioned?

Yes, myself and others have experienced this. The project is now
corrupted,
but there is a solution.

Now, I am posting the solution from memory...

We exported the project as an XML file. We thendeleted the project
from
the
project server. We then imported the XML file to the project server.

Let me know if you need further details.

Has anyone ever seen this very bizarre problem? On Friday afternoon
6/24,
response time to checkout a particular plan (Project Server 2003) plan
was
very slow. Upon review of the resource sheet, it was revealed that
approx.
12,000 local resources, all named "TBD", exist. This morning on 6/27,
with no
plans checked out for edit over the weekend, the plan now has over
45,000
local resources named "TBD". Obviously it is very slow now and needs
to
be
fixed. Any thoughts?

You only mentioned one method of recovering the project. The binary rebuild
removes bloat, it doesn't recover the project. Neither should cause you data
loss.
