================================================================

I read about this error and I came to know that this is generated due
to the problem in the resource’s email and it is related to the
Notifications (Alerts/Reminders). The type of notification is
"Reminder-Tasks".
However, some of the proposed resolution says that this might be due
to Inactive resources. I do not have Inactive resources and my email
settings in the Server Settings is also correct. Moreover, the users
are receiving alerts if their assignments are changed. Hence, I don't
know why is this error being generated.

What I want to understand is where and how can I track the “uid” that
is mentioned in the errorinfo? Is this a Resource UID or what? Which
table can I find this ID?

Note: I made a SQL Query on MSP_RESOURCES to see if there is any
resource with this ID but the query returned 0 records.

Thank you
Best regards

Looks like an invalid e-mail address on one of the resouces.

Goto the resource center, sort by e-mail address. Validate those first. If
you do not find it, goto the Project Server reporting dB and query the
resource user VIEW for the uid 848d12c2-32d0-448b-9a1b-c58e8253c690. Check
the e-mail address.

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for the reply.

I went through the sorted list of the user emails but all of them
seems fine.
However, as you said, I went and queried the Reporting db which is the
following sql query:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM MSP_EPMRESOURCE_USERVIEW WHERE ResourceUID =
'848d12c2-32d0-448b-9a1b-c58e8253c690'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It returned 0 records.

I even tried with 'LIKE' statement but no records.

Moreover, do you mean that the 'uid' mentioned in the errorinfo is a
ResourceUID?

Found the problem ...

The problem was that a user had two email IDs to his name, which is
fine. However, they were seperated by semicolons, and that was the
problem.
The users in WSS 3.0 have more than one email IDs assigned to their
names and they all were seperated by semicolons and it never displayed
any error due to this.

Hence, what I learned is that for WSS 3.0 the email IDs for the users
must be seperated using semicolon ( but in Project Server 2007 it
should be seperated using comma (,).

However, there is still one thing pending for the sake of knowledge,
is that, what is the 'uid' in the errorinfo. I saw the recent
errorinfo and compared the uid with the ResourceUID of the user that
had the problems but it doesn't match in any way.

Can someone please let me know what is 'uid' in this errorinfo and how
to track them?

Thank you once again.
