Actual hours - moved from reporting database to publish database

[Rafal_Paczynski]

Hi All,

I am using Project Server 2007 together with Project 2007 pro. For one of
our enterprise projects I noticed that Actual Hours are not moved to project
pro. I can see reported hours (actual hours) in Reporting database but I do
not see them under Published database (for this some project of course). Do
you know how to move hours to publish database?

Just to give you overview since that week is possible for Project Manager to
approve time submited by users and see them in Project Pro ( in published
database).
However for last 3 monts that hours are not in published database but only
in reporting database, and I need to move them so Project Manager will have
copmlete overview in Project Pro.

Thank you very much for help.
That problem is very important for me to solve so I will admire any kind of
help.

Thank you very much.

Rafal:

Do you enter time through My Timesheets or My Tasks?

Hi Gary,

Users reported hours in Timesheets and after submit timesheets and import
hours, however we had problem with that project and we had to delete it from
Publish database and repoublish it again. Since that time our problem with
Project is solved but not approved hours by Project Manger "dissapered" from
Project in project pro.
I checked and I can see that missing hours in reporting database therefore I
would like to move them again to project in Project Pro 2007.

Could you please advice how to do it, we are missing submited hours since
beginning that year until yesterday. Since yesterday everything works perfect
on that project.

This project is strategisk so I need that hours to be moved so Project
Manager can see them in Project Pro.


Thank you for any help.

Do you think importing timesheets again can help ??

Hi again,


I just run a simple test, resource imported "missing" time for affected
project and Project manager got information regarding approving time.
After approving, Actual Hours are in the project.
I am very glad that works because we are not missing any hours.

Is there any easy way to import all missing hours, or resources have to
manually import all weeks which missing hours?

Thank you advance for help

You would have to write a tool to do that. It sounds as though something is
not working with your process on the human side of things. If you're going
to stick with 2007 for a while, then you might consider implementing the
"Tied Mode Solution" available as open source on codeplex. If you are
upgrading to 2010 early on, this is built in to the system. I think your
missing time is likely missing because of people missing the import step.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your replay. We are about to implemend "Tied Mode solution", I
am hoping that will solve some of our problmes

Thank you for help.
