Problem Migrating Projects from Project Server 2003 to 2007

[Karleen]

I'm having problems migrating our projects from Project Server 2003 to
Project Server 2007. I've ran the migration tool and the only items that
transfer over are all the users. I'm running the migration config file as
MigrateAll = Publish. Could I be doing something else wrong. I've made sure
they aren't checked out. Any ideas?

If you have any projects/files listed in the [Projects to save] or
[projects to publish] sections of the config file than that action
will override the MigrateAll = Publish. Even if the projects listed
don't exist. Make sure the sample projects are commented out in those
sections. (I'm writing this from memory, so I may be off on the actual
section names.]

Already checked those. I've even tried just moving individual projects over
with nothing in MigrateAll.

The migration should leave some decent log files. Search those for the
word "error" to see if anything is causing trouble. Other than that,
The most common problem I've run into is setting up the .config file.


Sorry I don't have more ideas...

I think I found my problem. All of my projects are in Project Web Access
2003, I'm looking in the wrong table in the database. Is it possible to move
these projects from the MSP_WEB_PROJECTS to the MSP_PROJECTS table. That way
I can move them with the migration tool.

Karleen:

All of your projects should also be in MSP_PROJECTS. If not, something is
drastically wrong with your system or you have been publishing projects from
a file share, which is not an enterprise configuration, and not subject to
migration. Recheck your system and check your SQL backups.
