MOPS SP2, Project SP2, WSS 3.0 SP2 (no MOSS).
Tried importing an mpp file several times, from scratch, up to point of
Click Finish. The mpp file is one of our PMs and this is supposed to be our
pilot project. Same results: Step 1: All local resources (14 total) are
mapped to enterprise resources. Step 2: Resolve Conflicts: 9 local resources.
But those were among the 14 just mapped to enterprise resources! I'm no
Sherlock Holmes, but some of the tasks are marked x% (meaning, not 0%)
complete and the 9 local resources are (variously) assigned to these tasks.
Only these resources show up in Step 2. If I finish the Wizard (which I
finally did and I knew to change Import to No in Step 2), my saved project
shows both the local resource and enterprise resource for the same task and
same % work assigned.
Too, in Step 1 there are several "Task is marked 100% complete. Move actual
work to new resource?" (I know that means "Do you want to transfer the
already completed work?", and in cases where someone takes leave and
remaining work is reassigned, to typically click No. However, I tried both Ok
and No. (And anyway, What should I choose?))
Why is this happening and where do I look in the mpp file for issues? I did
see warnings in Resource Sheet view about some of the resources should be
leveled Day to Day but the resources did not correlate with the 9 showing in
step 2; that is, some of the 9 had a warning but others did not.
Also, if I have to -- I know you're not supposed to Save As an mpp file to
MOPS -- what about copying/pasting from mpp into new MOPS project, omitting
copying the resources and % complete but rather entering these manually. Just
to get this particular project over to MOPS one way or the other.
Thanks,
