Background Information
When viewing resource availability information from
the View Resource Availability page (Project Server 2002 or 2003) or the
Resource Availability page (Project Server 2007) through the Resource Center in
Project Web Access, you may occasionally see the “Availability data has not been
published…” error message formatted in red text at the bottom of the
availability graph. There are two possible causes for this error message, and
two possible solutions to this problem.
Resolution #1
If the error message appears for every resource in the
system, this indicates that the Project Server administrator needs to update the
Resource Availability tables in Project Web Access. To do this in Project Server
2002 or 2003, the administrator must complete the following steps:
1. Log into
Project Web Access with administrator permissions.
2. Click
Admin - Manage enterprise features
3. In the
Date range for resource availability section, select a new date range that spans
farther into the future
4. Click
the Save Changes button
The next time that the system updates the OLAP cube
and resource availability information, the error message will disappear from the
View Resource Availability page in Project Web Access.
Note for Project Server 2007
Users
The Project Server administrator must complete the
following steps in Project Server 2007:
1. Log into
Project Web Access with administrator permissions.
2. Click
Server Settings - Additional Server Settings.
3. In the Resource Capacity Settings section
of the page, increase the number shown in the Months Ahead field.
4. Click the Save button.
The next time the system updates
resource availability information, the error message will disappear from the
Resource Availability page in Project Web Access
Resolution #2
If the error message appears for only a few resources,
this indicates incorrect availability information for the selected resources in
the Enterprise Resource Pool. To correct this problem, the Project Server
administrator should complete the following steps:
1. Launch Microsoft
Project Professional and log into Project Server with administrator permissions.
2. Click Tools -
Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise Resource Pool.
3. Select the resources
with availability problems and then check out the resources for editing.
4.
Double-click the name of each resource individually.
5. On the General page
in the Resource Availability section, set the value for the last Available To
entry to “NA” (without the quotation marks).
6. Click
OK.
7. Repeat
this process for each resource.
8. Save and
close the Enterprise Resource Pool.
The next time that the system updates the resource
availability information, the error message will disappear for the selected
resources in Project Web Access.
