Issues and Risk List error

[Nach]

Hi,
I just migrated from PS 2003 to 2007. I get the following error when I try
to look at a project's Issues or Risks..
"One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings
page to delete these fields."

Once I goto the List Settings...select a random view and click OK...it shows
the list of issues. I don't understand where the problem is..also I do not
want to do this manually for all the sites to be able to see the risks and
issues. Any thougts on this..?

Thanks
Nachal.

Or Is there a way to create a new view that is available to all the Project
Risk Sites. Currently if I create a view it is only available to that
particular site...

Thanks

Risk & Issue Lists in PS2007 require that the default fields are not changed
or deleted as this causing WSS Sync errors on publishing.

Publish a project and check the error information in the Queue or ULS logs.
This should give you and idication of which fields are missing/changed.

Paul,
Thanks for your input. I am seeing the following error

<class name="Reporting Wss list sync failed">
<error id="24018" name="ReportingWssSyncListFailed"
uid="10e4de87-3913-4928-b1e0-55a30b66c2c0" SPListType="1100" Error="Failed to

'8662ab52-20d2-4b53-b0d3-98d0ca46408d'. The field Priority was missing from
the SP list and was ignored." />
<error id="24018" name="ReportingWssSyncListFailed"

How do I figure out which field is giving me this error ?

Thanks
Nachal.

From your issue list, you're missing the field/column "Priority" or it's of
the wrong data type. It should be type "choice"

From your risk list, you're missing the field/column "Cost", or it's the
wrong data type. It should be type "currency"

Paul..that's really coo. But how did you know those fields are Priority and
Cost ? From uid ? Where am I supposed to look up those uids? And if i want to
change them..do I have to do it in the database or the XML file or in PWA
itself?

Thanks

The clue is in the error message

The field Priority was missing from
The field Cost was missing from

oops...it's in the error message itself that it's Priority and Cost..I guess
I just want to know how to solve it...in the sense where to make the
changes..Is there a way to solve this before migration?

 

[Paul Conroy]

As far as I know, and I'm not too familiar with migrations, make sure the
risk/issue fields in the 2003 environment are as expected in the 2007
environment prior to pulling them across.

I have compared both the lists in 2003 and 2007 a number of times...nothing
jumps out! And I dont even see "priority" and "cost" columns in those
lists...I dont know where they are coming from....but thanks a lot for your
input..it helped a lot!!

Thanks
Nachal.
