Solution to a common problem

P

Padraig

I wanted to simply put this out there so that anyone who comes across
this problem does not end up ramming their head through their monitor
in the same way that I almost did.

Product: Project Server 2003

Symptoms: The Application Event log is polluted with errors that come
in packets of seven errors at a time followed by two warnings. The
errors are generated when you attempt to publish a project plan,
assignment, or task to Project Server. Here are some of the program
files that trigger these errors:

ViewCreator.cpp
ViewNotify.cpp

Additionally, when you use the EditSites utility to test database
connectivity from the Web Server to the Database Server, the first
three tests will complete successfully; the last test will fail and you
will receive the following message:

"The Project User is not a member of MSProjectRole."

Solution: When I opened the EditSites tool, I found that, for some
reason, the MSProjectServerUser was used in both the MSProject and
MSProjectServer roles. The solution was to change the MSProject role
user to MSProjectUser (not MSProjectServerUser). After I clicked Save
and exited out of the utility, I successfully published a project plan
and was able to see the published tasks after clicking on a Project
Name via Project Web Access.

This is the result of an installation bug. The person who installed the
software is not to blame.
