I have a mass of orphaned assignments in the Project Server 2003 database and
in the cube. Managed time periods had been turned off and projects were
deleted and then re-imported to the server. Then actuals were "overwritten"
to correct assignment data and managers ignored the warning messages that
there was remaining work on resources that were no longer active in the
server. One project plan has duplicate assignments with duplicated actuals
so I know a major clean-out is necessary.
I want to save all the project files with their actuals locally. Then I
want to delete all the project plans from the server. But, I'm not sure what
order I should follow for the next steps.
How do I make sure the database and cubes are cleared of all tasks and
asisgnments before re-importing the project plans back to the server? I can
force a rebuild of the binary record in the database but is that all I need
to do?
And--must I reactivate the inactive resources that are in these project
plans so that the data can be reposted to the database?
I'm taking control of this server and its projects until project managers
are properly trained regarding assignments.
