6. Deployment
7. Logical ArchitectureProject Server is a SharePoint application
8. What’s Changed in Deployment? Project Service replaces Shared Service Provider
Configuration of Non-Project Services for core functionality
New required configuration steps
No more ActiveX!
Improvements
Overall Setup experience
Pre-requisite installer
Farm configuration wizard
Improvements to Central Administration
Manage Project Service with all other services
9. Project Server 2010 Software Requirements
10. Installation Process
11. Enable Required Services Minimal Services Required to operate a Project Server 2010 server farm
Project Service Application
Reporting
Excel Services
PerformancePoint Service
Secure Store Service
Charting
State Service
By default, all available services are enabled by the configuration wizard
Performance Consideration: only enable necessary services to fulfill requirements
12. Post Setup Project Web Access Core Items Time Reporting Periods
Required now for My Tasks/My Timesheets
Base Security
Cube Building Service (Analysis Services OLAP cubes)
Exchange Integration
Project Server users can view Project Server tasks as Outlook tasks without ActiveX
Requires configuration in both Project Server and Exchange Server
13. Deployment Scenarios Together/Coexistence
Single farm with both Project Server and SharePoint Server
Apart/Standalone
Dedicated Project Server Farm running WSS or SharePoint Server
14. Together Pros and ConsSingle Project and SharePoint Server farm Advantages
Server consolidation
Administration and maintenance
Single software update plan
Leverage high availability
Disadvantages
Software updates
Additional training required for SharePoint Administrator(s)
Additional licenses required
15. Apart Pros and ConsSeparate Project and SharePoint Server farm Advantages
Farm hardware and software updates
No dependency on the intranet farm’s availability
Change management
Security isolation
Leverage the same SQL Server infrastructure as the other farm
Disadvantages
Additional administrative tasks
Applying and testing patches on two farms versus one
Content management and governance
Project Server’s SharePoint content cannot be stored on another farm
Greater cost
Additional hardware
Additional software licenses
16. Deployment Considerations in a Single Farm Server and Client licenses
Must install Project Server and SharePoint Server on each of your servers
Isolate PS for performance/manageability/governance purposes
Isolate Project Server content databases and Application Pool
Separate Root Site Collection
Separate Site Collection for Project Workspaces
Isolate Reporting and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) databases
Patched together (Cumulative Updates/Service Packs) and plan accordingly
Customization
Line of Business integration
Outsourcing and farm consolidation
17. Upgrade
18. Plan First!Assess the environment Evaluate configuration and customization
Determine Service Pack and patch levels
Enumerate configuration changes that must be replicated
Evaluate licensing requirements and compliance
Evaluate for supportability
19. Upgrade & Migration to Project Server 2010 Project Server 2003 needs to be migrated via 2007
2007 does not need to be in production
Consider using a “Virtual Migration Environment”
Project Portfolio Server migration
Project Portfolio Server (PPS) 2006 to 2007
Project Portfolio Server 2007 – three approaches
Migrate to Project Server 2010 feature set
Map, customize and develop desired functionality on Project Server 2010
Use the gateway to transfer data
Finish existing projects in PPS 2007 and start new in Project Server 2010
Use side-by-side with Project Server 2010
Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010
Out-of-the-Box experience
20. Upgrade from Project Server 2007 Streamlined upgrade Out-of-the-Box experience
Two ways to get environment ‘upgraded’
In-place upgrade
Could be constrained by the 64-bit requirements or by the dependency on SharePoint Server
4 or 5 Database Attach
4 DB = Project Server data only
5 DB = SharePoint data (Project Workspaces) and Project Server data
Upgrade of the databases happen automatically during PWA Provisioning. Possible warnings or errors in the ULS folder
Backwards Compatibility Mode is automatically enabled after upgrade
Enables of 2007 and 2010 clients to connect to 2010 server
21. In-Place Upgrade – Key Steps
22. Database Attach
23. Backwards Compatibility Mode Accelerate deployment of Project 2010
Seamless co-existence and data exchange among various Project desktop versions
Both Project 2010 desktop and Project Server 2010 scenario
24. Backwards Compatibility Mode
25. Backwards Compatibility Mode
26. Backwards Compatibility Mode
27. Backwards Compatibility Mode
28. Backwards Compatibility Mode
29. Backwards Compatibility ModeImplication to the feature set Manually scheduled tasks are not available on the server or client
Tasks cannot be set to Inactive
Font strikethrough not available
All Departmental custom fields enforced on Project Professional 2007
All other server features fully functional
New features of Project 2010 Professional including views and formatting – like Timeline, Team Planner, 32-bit colors could be used but are not available to Project Professional 2007 users
30. Backwards Compatibility ModeTurning off BCM to Native is one way only setting
BCM to native only should happen when
All client are migrated to Project Professional 2010
All custom application are properly tested in the development/test/staging environments
Project Web Access -> Server Settings -> Additional Settings
31. Project Server and Professional Version compatibility matrix
32. Project Standard and Professional New version of binary file format The Project 2010 MPP file format (MSProject.MPP.14) is changed to reflect all new enhancements, especially manual scheduling
The file format extension is still “mpp”
Project 2003/2007 users open/save/convert via Project 2010 Trial download
