  1. Microsoft Office Project Server 2007: Maintenance and Monitoring Jean-Francois LeSaux Architect, EPM Global Practice Microsoft Corporation jeanfl@microsoft.com

  2. Webcasts SeriesWhat to expect • Solution Overview and System Elements • Solution Elements and Data Flow • Workload Scenarios and Reference Architecture • Network Communication • Server Administration • Maintenance and Monitoring • Deployment into a Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server (MOSS) Intranet Farm • Disaster Recovery • Virtualization

  3. What We Will Cover • Review of the logical architecture • Microsoft® Office Project Server maintenance • Farm backup • Moving environments • Database care • Service packs and updates deployments • Project Server monitoring • Farm, server health • Usage

  5. Project Server Maintenance • Farm backup • Moving/migrating environments • Database care • Service packs and update deployments

  6. EPM Components

  7. EPM Content (Where Is My Data?) • Microsoft® Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) data (Four databases) • Project • Enterprise Resource • Enterprise Custom Fields • Enterprise Global • (…) • EPM data in SharePoint (Content DB) • Documents • Risks • Issues • Deliverables

  8. EPM Data • EPM Administrative Backup/Restore • Use of the Project_Archive Database • Define the retention level (versions) • Driven by EPM functional administrator • Can be scheduled • Define the retention level (policy) “Oops I have deleted my project!”

  9. Backup and Restore Solutions • SharePoint Backup/Restore • Microsoft® SQL Server® Backup and Restore • Third-party solutions

  10. SharePoint Backup/RestoreHow it works Central Admin Console Farm File Server SQL Backup/Restore

  11. SharePoint Backup/RestoreDetails • Out-of-the-box UI and command-line access for Central Administrator • ‘Hooks up’ SharePoint databases and search index on Restore • Supports Full and Differential backup • Backs up the search index (MOSS only) • Extensible framework for third-party applications

  12. Use the command line with Windows Task Scheduler for scheduled backups Backs up content, SSP, EPM databases, and search index You must manually backup front-end files We recommend you keep images of your Web front ends High restore time  Low availability SharePoint Backup/RestoreLimitations

  13. Command Line • %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\bin\Stsadm –o backup • –directory \\SHARE\Backup • –backupmethod full • > D:\LOGS\Log_backup.txt

  14. SQL-Only Backup/Restore • Pros • Reuse existing technology and processes • Non-application specific • Remember • Post-restore reattachment and clean up • Search index must be backed up separately via SharePoint backup for MOSS “My SQL servers are managed by a separate organization or data center from my SharePoint installations.”

  15. To create a farm backup Use stsadm –o backup/restore To migrate a site collection Use stsadm –o backup http://server/site To migrate a site/list/library/item Use stsadm –o export/import for sites Use Site Manager within site collection Solution for Each Scenario

  16. Database Care for DBAs • Table and Index Fragmentation • Re-Indexing • Statistics Update • Maintenance Plan

  17. Database Care for DBAs • SQL Maintenance Plan • Storage (separate data and log if possible) • Recovery model • Maintenance plans • Back Up Database • Check DatabaseIntegrity • RebuildIndex (-> update statistics) • HistoryCleanup • Maintenance Cleanup

  18. EPM 2007 Resource Kit Tools • Project Server Settings Backup and Restore (Playbooks) • Project Workspace Site Relinker • View Effective Rights

  19. EPM Settings • Backup/Restore Project Server 2007 Settings • For example, to move a configuration from/to differentenvironments • Development/Integration/Production • New tool in EPM 2007 Resource kit • Playbooks “How do I copy Project Server 2007 settings from development to production ?”

  20. Resource Kit: Playbooks

  21. EPM Settings • Pros • No need to transfer the EPM data • Clean way to work with several environments • Backup your settings and keep history • Cons • Not a backup or high-availability solution

  22. Deploying Software Updates • Check TechNet for deployment guidance • Stay up to date with http://support.microsoft.com

  23. Deploying Software Updates • Read the Knowledge Base article published • Backup all databases • Deploy the updates on a test environment and validate the impact before rolling out to Production • Install the updates on servers and clients (if required) • Propagate the changes on the farm (PSConfig)

  24. demonstration Maintenance Tools • Backup • Maintenance Plans • Resource Kit: Playbooks • Resource Kit: WSS Relink

  25. Project Server Monitoring • Farm, Server Health • Usage

  26. Project Server Monitoring • Tools of the trade • SharePoint Best Practices Analyzer • SharePoint Diagnostic Tool: SPDiag • Performance Monitor • Microsoft® Operations Manager 2005 • Microsoft® System Center 2007
