Project and Project Server PU Sept. 2015

On September 8, 2015 there was a Public update released for Project & Project Server 2010 & 2013.

Fixes for PS 2013

  • Consider the following scenario:
    • A task is published to your timesheet.
    • You add actual work to the task and submit a status update.
    • Your status manager approves the actual work that you submitted.
    • Your status manager locks the task that you submitted work to.
    • You delete and re-create your timesheet.
    • You submit your timesheet.

    In this scenario, upon recreating the timesheet, the locked task does not reappear on the timesheet. Therefore, as soon as the timesheet is submitted, the actual work that’s previously been approved and is seen in the project isn’t on the timesheet. This means the actual work in the project and the timesheet are no longer synchronized.

  • After a timesheet is submitted and approved, you can edit a task from the timesheet on the Assignment Detail page but you can’t submit the changes for approval as status updates.
  • It may take a long time to load a resource plan if there are many resources and custom fields on the resource plans.
  • When you approve multiple status updates at one time, all remaining updates fail if a single update fails.
  • If the calendar on which a task is calculated does not have the default 8am and 5pm start times and finish times, when you edit the task’s start or finish dates on the Task Details page, the newly calculated duration is wrong.

 

Fixes for Project 2013

  • Enables single sign-on (SSO) for ADAL on cloud domain-joined computers. On cloud domain-joined computer that has Modern Authentication enabled, domain accounts seem to be logged in but can’t open files.
  • Fixes the following issues:
    • When running in the background, the Auto Save feature that has the Prompt before saving option enabled causes the processor to be fully allocated.
    • When you open an .xml file to create a project, it takes longer than merging the data into an existing or blank project.
    • When you try to import an Excel workbook into a project, some assignment information is lost.
    • When you reduce the work of a fixed work task while editing in Project in the schedule web part, the duration of the task may be reduced unexpectedly.
    • When you open an Excel workbook in Project 2013, not all actual works are imported for resources for tasks.
    • When you apply actual work to a project, the actual work may be applied to an incorrect resource. This issue may occur when one resource is exchanged for another while you’re using the Assign Resources dialog box and a status update is pending.
    • When you open a SharePoint task list in Project 2013 and close it without saving, the %Complete fields of tasks are updated to incorrect values.
    • When you assign a resource on the Resources tab of the Task Information dialog box to a task, the Units value of the resource is always set to 100% even if another value is entered.
    • You can’t remove remaining work from a manually scheduled task in Project 2013 when the task is published to Project Server, and when the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets task settings and display options are enabled.
    • After you change a custom field on a project detail page, the milestone flag on a task is reset to Yes unexpectedly.
    • When you use a task template that has cost resources assigned to create a project in Project Web App and then you open the project in Project 2013, Project 2013 crashes.
    • When you try to update budget costs on resources in Project 2013, Project 2013 may crash.
    • When you try to save a project to Project Server or you try to view the project properties of the project, Project 2013 may crash if some project level custom fields type is number.
    • When Project Professional 2013 attempts to save a project to a Project server right after the first failure, it may crash.
    • When you try to save a project from an earlier version of Project Server, you receive the following error message:
      Error 9000
      Save job cancelled in the queue: Root element is missing.

 

 

Fixes for PS 2010

  • When you approve multiple status updates at one time, all remaining updates fail if a single update fails.
  • When you open a resource plan that contains many resources and customer fields, it takes a long time to load up the resource plan.

 

Fixes for Project 2010

  • When you assign a resource on the Resources tab of the Task Information dialog box to a task, the Units value of the resource is always set to 100% even if another value is entered.
