Problem with Masters Projects

[Luis Calabria]

I have tree projects. I need to publish the information, but I use a Master
Project to do that. So I put these tree projects into a Master Project and I
publish its information.

When a resource go to the View Task he see the normal task information.
The problem occurs when I replace the resource with another in one task. I
republish the information but the resource still have the task’s assignment.

In the traditional form (when I publish the specific project) the resource
see a X in the task when I change the assignment. In this case it doesn’t
occur.

In addition to this, when I reassign the resource to the task the resource
have two tasks instead of one.

I need to know, if this problem have a resolution.

Luis --

Ask your Project Server administrator to delete the master project from the
Project Server database, and to disable the permission that allows users to
publish master projects to the Project Server database. You should NEVER
publish master projects, as it is the source of the very problem you
describe. Instead, you need to open and publish each project individually.
Hope this helps.

Dale, thank you for your answer, but I really need to publish the task in a
Master project.
I find a hotfix in microsoft that talk about something like that but I can't
download it. The hotfix was publishing on March 23.

I would suggest that you put the tasks in a separate project and then link
them to the other projects, if necessary. I repeat: you should not publish
a master project as this will lead to duplicate task assignments. Hope this
helps.

Hi Luis,

Do you really need to publish the Master INSIDE Project Server? I use Master
Schedules based on Project Server schedules, but I save and publish them to
another place (local drive for personal use or collaborative tool like
SharePoint for a community).
