Installed SP2 and Hot-fix (2007) and then something straneg occurr

[Rene Bongers]

After installing SP2 and the last hot-fix, for MSP2007, a strange thing
occurred.
When I open 2 projects. I get a view of all the resources that are used in
both projects in the Resource sheet.
When I have a look in the "build team (CTRL+T)" I only see there the
resources that I what to use for one of the projects.
I never had this problem before.
Is here a solution for or are we the only people with this problem?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

This is the default behavior of Projct Server 2007 when opening multiple
projects and applying any resource View, such as the Resource Sheet view or
the Resource Usage view. To the best of my knowledge, this has always been
the behavior of the tool from the very beginning. It is not a bug and not
an issue; it is default behavior. Perhaps you only noticed just now. Hope
this helps.

Dale,

Thanks for the answer. A colleague and I are 98% sure that we saw this for
the 1st time after the upgrade. And why should you see this? You are only
interested in the people that are in your team. We open the both project
because the enumeration from the both projects is not correct. But I will
make a new questions for this problem. We thought that this would be over
after installing the hot-fix and SP2

In Project Server 2007, when you open multiple projects and then apply the
Resource Usage view, the system allows you to level overallocated resources
across ALL of the open projects. I believe this is one of the reasons why
you see the combined resources for all projects in a resource View.
Frankly, I think this is a useful feature, don't you? Hope this helps.

Rene:

To add to Dale's reply, this is indeed the default behavior for a long time.
Also, understand that while resource views will show the combined resources,
using a tool like Build Team from Enterprise is only active for one project
at a time, and therefore will only show the resources that concern the plan
for which you open it.

This brings up a follow on question that might avoid a little havoc.
If you have two projects open, and you use the build team from
enterprise resource pool to replace a resource, would you might
replace the resource on an unintended (the wrong) project?
