Save Job 0% Complete. Expected Wait Time 180s

[Kevin]

I've read several posts on stuck/waiting queued jobs but not seeing my answer
yet.

I'm running SQL 2005 on a separate server. I have Server 2008, MOSS 2007
SP1 and Project 2007 SP1 on another box.
In looking in the active cache status, they say "Ready for Processing". In
the Manage Queue Jobs they say "Waiting to be processed".

I went into the SharePoint logs and the only thing I can see that sparks
suspicion is:
[SESERVICE] 1116_f82fa5f5-1688-4e0b-b1ef-08baf9d63c45
ServerEventsExecService could not start
[SESERVICE] 1116_f82fa5f5-1688-4e0b-b1ef-08baf9d63c45 Access is denied

The services for the server queue and server events were started. I
restarted them with no results.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do have one oddity but don't think it
is related. When I setup MOSS, it truncated my server name by 1 character
and I let it ride not knowing the ramifications. At the end I could not
access my PWA page until I created an Alternate Access Mapping with the full
DNS name. That full DNS name is what I'm publishing to from desktop MSFT
Project. I still see all the jobs in the queue and the PWA seems to be
working fine. All the MOSS services are under the truncated server name.
There are no services available to setup under the AAM modified name. Again,
don't think this is related but thought I would add everything I know.

Thanks for the help.

More info:
This sounds similar to another post I just found, but I have full admin
control over the boxes.
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...osoftproject&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1

I have only one Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Queueing.exe service running.


I am seeing another event error but the time is not related:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation
permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}
to the user DHARMACONLAN\prj08pool SID
(S-1-5-21-1343024091-1682526488-839522115-4874) from address LocalHost (Using
LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services
administrative tool.

Looks like I cleared up the application error by doing the following:
Start -> Administrative Tools – Component Services
- Console Root -> Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer
- Action -> Properties -> COM Security
- “Launch and Activation Permissionsâ€
- Edit Default.
- Add user (Dharmaconlan\prj08pool)
- Allow “Local Activationâ€
- Reboot

I've cleared Project Pro local cache and canceled all the jobs in the Manage
Queue Jobs window. Saved another project. Queue goes to "waiting to be
processed". Restarted the Queue service. Nothing. Looked at the logs and
see the following:

Queue system starting. SSP: f82fa5f5-1688-4e0b-b1ef-08baf9d63c45
Queue system could not start. SSP: f82fa5f5-1688-4e0b-b1ef-08baf9d63c45
[QUEUE] 4148_f82fa5f5-1688-4e0b-b1ef-08baf9d63c45 QueueExecService could not
start
[QUEUE] 4148_f82fa5f5-1688-4e0b-b1ef-08baf9d63c45 Access is denied

This sounds like a permissions issue possibly for the SSP user? No clue
what permissions need to be enabled though if that is the case.

Any help would be great.

I found some odd information around the need to access the below CRL sites to
get these services to work. It's probably a stretch but thought I would ask.
http://crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/CodeSignPCA.crl
http://crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/CodeSignPCA2.crl

On Server 2008, how do I make sure my ssp user has access to the internet?
Thx.

Resolution:
The installation process created services using the Database user account
info. The services need to use the SSP account information.

So I changed the Logon information for:
- Microsoft Office Project Server Events Service
- Microsoft Office Project Server Queue Service
and then restarted teh services. All is good now.
