PSI: How To Update Custom Field Value For A Perticular Project Using PSI(Project Server 2007)
May 6, 2007
Hi,
I want to update value of a custom field for a perticular project in Project Server 2007 using PSI.
I have created 5 enterprise custom fields(A,B,C,D,E) through PWA/Server Settings.
I want to search all Projects on Server. If any project is having value for custom field A then I want to update rest of the custom fields(B,C,D,E) for that perticular project.
Is it possible to run Microsoft project server 2007 on LAN without using Active Directory Is it possible to keep Active Directory on a separate machine and install project server 2007 on a different machine.
Hmm.. where to start? Well, I have installed proj serv 2007 and have it up and running fine. I was recently asked to get the data analysis portion of the proj server working. After much digging for some guides, I found a few helpful and got sql analysis server installed with everything else it need to operate. (as far as I know). One of the guides that I have encountered and using asks me to use sql studio management to access the analysis server. Problem is, I dont have the option to choose a server type. (Its greyed out) Which only has the option for "Database Engine". Furthermore, I cannont complete the steps required without this option. Could someone please, please, point me in the right direction and possibly tell me what Ive done wrong. Project server 2007 documentation is horrible. Just to be able to use the server has been a process.
For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
My site crashed, so I had to rebuild the Project Site.
I used the SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to disconnect from the server farm (only actually running on the single server).
I then reran SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to setup the site.
Configured the Project Service and attached to the existing dB's.
Previously, I used the url http://servername.domain.forest/PWA/default.aspx .
Now when I attempt the use the same URL, I get the following error:
"An unexpected error has occurred"
I have tested this one 3 servers now and I receive the exact same result. Is there a path I should apply to the servers in order to allow fully qualified server names after a reinstall of the system?
I fail to use project professional 2003 to access to the project server 2003 using MSDE 2000 in local area network, following message was shown,

I have seen these pages with similiar cases but can't help.
is it possible to create a report server project template ? This project must have 2 datasources and 1 specific report I wanted to use the Export Template, but it isn't available. I can only use it in Developpement Studio not in BIDS.
Hello, I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
I have been working on some SSIS packages for a while now and today while i was working i was trying to create a new connection and in the process there was an error and it said the BIDS has to be closed and i closed it but later when i open BIDS and try to open my project(.sln) from the file menu to work on the half done package it pops up an error which shows the path to my project location on the first line and next statement on the pop up error box says:
"Make Sure the application for the project type (.dtproj) is installed."
I tried to check some forums in which some suggested to try installing SP1 which i tried but ..i dont know why but the SP1 fails to install (i dont know if its causing problem becoz i already installed SP2 as i had some other problem before for which the cure was to install SP2).
Did anyone here face such a problem before ?
I'd really appreciate if the experts here can tell a cure for this problem.
I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
in order to maintain a deployed project into an Integration Services Catalog I'd like to know if it is possible to import it into a new project inside SSDT.
I have a very small project written in VB.Net 2005 using the SQL Server 2005 SSiS DTSx package.
I took a SQL Server 2000 dts package and using the SQL Server 3005 legacy tools migrated it so I could still use the package withing SQL 2005 until I can build one using BI/SSIS.
Anyway,I added the reference Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS so I could then use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime so I can execute the commands:
Dim oApp As New Application Dim oPkg As New Package oPkg = oApp.LoadPackage(g_DTSx_Directory & "AOC copy Generic1 CSV to AOC_verify_file_1.dtsx", Nothing) Dim oResults As DTSExecResult oResults = oPkg.Execute
Ok. That works fine. Executes without a hitch. So now I try and create a setup project for this and I use the setup wizard.
During the creation of the setup project I get a message that states: The following files may have dependencies that cannot be determined automatically. Please confirm that all dependencies have been added to the project. C:windowssystem32msxml6.dll
OK. The dll is part of the reference I mentioned above and I have no idea what other dependencies it may have.
How do I find this out?
Has anyone else created a project like this and experenced the same?
I am on a clean build running WinXP Pro with SP2 - VS2005 with SP1 and the SQL Server 2005 tools.
I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questionsÂ
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.
I have visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005 with integration service installed on my machine. Couple of days ago, I installed visual studio 2008 professional. When I go to create SSIS project I dont see it in visual studio 2008. What do I have to do to make it appear in visual studio 2008 so that I can create SSIS projects.
Hi All,I've been struggling with this for hours...Could someone please advise me on how to convert my current File based SQL Server Express website to a Server based SQL Express one.Particularly interested in what I need to do in the SQL Express management tool, changes I need to make the projecvt itself and changes needed to get IIS to understand things have been changed.Thanks,Martin.
Do I need to re-create a new package from scratch after doing what I did? It seems I've made what is probably a typical newbie mistake: I used COPY/PASTE to consolidate containers from two packages into a single new project/package.
Now my new package generates multiple duplicate errors (23 of each...) whenever I open it:
Warning loading LoadBillingData.dtsx: Process configuration failed to set the destination at the package path of "PackageData Flow Task to Load Profiles, Versions, and Transactions.EventHandlers[OnError].Variables[System::Propagate].Properties[Namespace]". This occurs when attempting to set the destination property or variable fails. Check the destination property or variable.
Error loading LoadBillingData.dtsx: Changing the name of a variable failed because it is a system variable. System variables are read-only.
What happened:
new guy (goes without saying...) creates:
01. PROJECT A 02. add PACKAGE A to PROJECT A 03. add some containers, figger out what the heck is going on, get containers working 04. create PROJECT B 05. create PACKAGE B 06. add containers, they work fine 07. whoops! Want to consolidate the packages. Unix guy naively expects Bill has made MS Visual Studio like all windows products (of which newbie is aware€¦): 08. create PROJECT C 09. create PACKAGE C 10. <ctrl a> PACKAGE A 11. <crtl c> PACKAGE A 12. <ctrl v> PACKAGE C 13. <ctrl a> PACKAGE B 14. <crtl c> PACKAGE B 15. <ctrl v> PACKAGE C 16. copy Flat File Connection Managers 17. copy Database Connection Manager 18. drag the arrows around, fix the flat file sources, renew the column maps, etc 19. whoops! the connections all look like a registry number! Fix the OLE DB Destinations, Execute SQL Task containers by selecting the DB Connection Manager copied from PROJECT A
20. successfully execute PROJECT C/PACKAGE C 21. save all 22. exit 23. start MS Visual Studio 24. Open Solution 25. ERRORS!!!
The database is locally attached to the vb.net project residing in a data directory in the project. I am testing installation on a virtual pc - with no sql express managment or other sql server databases attached.
When I do a vb.net setup project and run this on, there is no problem. However, once having done that, when I want to update the app, I can't just copy in the new database along with exe. I get the error:"sql server does not allow remote connections (provider:sql network interfaces error 26 - error locating server/instance specified).
Is this a problem of the virtual PC? I am testing this because I need to be able to send updates to another local machine without using setup program.
I have a problem here, i want to update the DraftDB in Project Server from an exteral DB (which is not within the Project Server architecture). How can go about doing this?
-the exteral DB would have similiar Tables with the DraftDB such as having a Table call Sponsor -if i add a new record, edit a record, or delete a record on Table Sponsor on the exteral DB, the update would reflect to the DraftDB in Project Server?
Is there any PSI calls that capable of achieving this? Any ideas? (If you couldn't help, would you have any suggestions of who/where i should turn to?)
I'm creating a trigger in an Sql Server Project that needs to execute some code. Is it possible to reference any assembly? When I click "add reference" to the project I cannot browse to an assembly.
What are the limitations of this feature? I was under the impression you could execute any .net code.
I'm coding a TVF in C# and the debugger doesn't stop at all. It used to work when I was coding scalar functions, but it stop working since I removed my assembly from the DB and register it manually to test my SQL scripts. I removed the assembly again from my DB and re-deployed it with VS.2005 hoping that will fix it, but it didn't work. Right now I can't debug.
Have anybody had a problem like this before? Any help will be appreciated.
I'm running into an issue when developing a clr project. I open the project to make changes and apparently it hoses up the sql server that I'm connecting to. I'm opening the CLR Project from a mapped drive on another computer. I can't figure out why just opening up the project causes the slow down. Any ideas.
My environment: Home PC Vista Ultimate SQL Server Developer 2005
I'm about to go absolutely nuts. I've tried so many things including: 1) Of course making sure Remote connections and both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled for SQL 2005 2) Verified my connection string works. I even tested it in Enterprise Library using the tool and it connects successfully via windows authentication 3) Made sure of course my logged in user is a member of the administrator group and that my user in SQL 2005 logins has db_owner and full rights to the DB I am connecting to. I also made sure the NT AUTHORITY as well as the 3 sql service users have db_owner rights as well as the adminstrator in the SQL Server logins all have db_owner to the DB 4) Started the SQL Server Browser service, SQL Server DB engine, and SQL Server Agent 5) Made sure my site is setup right in IIS 7. I checked the connection string in there as well as it shows up in IIS7 in one of the sections. Using Windows authentication and it is enabled for my site 6) Tried running the .net site using both localhost (IIS) and also tried using the Visual Studio built-in web server. Both give this message still When I test my connection through Enterprise Library it shows test successful!

I am going to have around 20 databases of size 75 MB, each database for a company and many users may access the database simultaneously because it is a web based project. I would like to know the system configuration. ie
Processors, memory
SQL Server configurations like. dedicated memory, open objects, locks, user connections, tempdb size and other factors.
If possible suggest me any site name where I can more info on that, or any other nice book on Admin and optimisation.
I am trying to integrate SQL server 2005 install within my application setup project.so that whenever my application is intalling on a computer , if would check for sql server 2005 express , if the computer does not have sql server 2005 installed . the installer file should install sql server on the host computer.
Can anybody guide me through the steps involved in doing this.
I was just wondering why is there no option to add a new folder under a reporting server project. I have a reports project and under it i would like to add subfolders like Daily and Weekly just to make it more organized. I understand that during deployment, we can specify to which folder we want the report(s) to be deployed, but what is the reason behind not having an option to add a new folder?
I have a Report Server Project in my visual studio.net, To deploy the reports on target it is not possible to use deploy option on production. I need to build a MSI setup for my ReportServerProject.
What are the steps should be done to build a setup for the Report Server Project?
Hi, I'm rather new here, but I would like to add the question here since this project encompasses a lot of areas of ASP.NET (Visual Studio 2005). My project is about a site which is heavily based on Search Option. So basically, users will just have to fill in the forms, click search and it will search throughout the database. For example... The website is about a property listing. The database (based on SQL Server, can be created right through the Visual Studio 2005) consists of these attributes: ID, Property Name, Property Location, Property Cost. The user may search based on Name, Location and Cost. For the cost, there are two forms to fill: the lowest cost allowed and the highest cost allowed.All these are put on the Master Page (Located on the top). When the button Search is clicked, it will display the records that match the forms filled, in the main page located below the Master Page.If anyone can help me with this, I'll be very grateful. Thank you very much.
