Post-upgrade tasks (Project Server 2013)
Summary: After you upgrade to Project Server 2013, you must address additional tasks.
Applies to: Project Server 2013
After upgrading to Project Server 2013, you must address two post-upgrade tasks:
Enable Issues and Risks links.
Add the Project Server 2013 Enterprise Project Type (EPTs)
Enable Issues and Risks links
After upgrading to Project Server 2013, Issues and Risk links in your upgraded project plans will not function and require the following in order for them to work properly:
Bulk update of all project sites - You will need to change the site path information for your upgraded project sites since they have been moved from one Web application to another. You can do this through the Bulk Update Project Sites page in the Project Web App settings located in SharePoint Central Administration. For more information about the Bulk Update Project Sites page, see Bulk Update Project Sites (Project Server 2013 settings).
Publish all projects with associated project sites - After updating your site path information for your project sites through the Bulk Update Project Sites page, you will need to publish each project that contains an associated project site. This is required so that the Project Server 2010 links for Issues and Risks are moved to Project Server 2013, which occurs when the project is published. If the project is not published, the link items will not display.
Important
Document library links to tasks in Project Server 2010 are not migrated to Project Server 2013 during the upgrade process. Although your Document library links may function in Project Server 2010, when they are upgraded to Project Server 2013, they will no longer display since they are not upgraded. However, new Document library links can be added in Project Server 2013.
Add the Project Server 2013 Enterprise Project Types
A known issue after you upgrade from Project Server 2010 to Project Server 2013 is that on the Project Center page, if you click New on the ribbon, you only see the Basic Project EPT that was migrated from Project Server 2010. You do not see the two default EPTs that are installed with Project Server 2013:
Enterprise Project
SharePoint Tasks List
The following procedures allow you to correct this problem so that you can access and use the default EPTs for Project Server 2013. This process requires two procedures:
Add the SharePoint Tasks Lists EPT
Rename the Basic Project EPT to "Enterprise Project"
After you complete the procedures, the Enterprise Project Types page displays the SharePoint Tasks Lists and Enterprise Project EPTs.

In the New Project Page/Project Details Pages section, in the New Project Page list, select Project Details. In the Available Project Details Pages list, move Project Details and Schedule to the box on the right.

In the Defaults section, select Use this as the default Enterprise Project Type during Project Creation.
In the Image section, in the Type the URL field, type/_layouts/15/inc/pwa/images/CenterNormalProject.png. This specifies the location of the default image for the SharePoint Tasks List EPT. Click Click here to test to verify that the image is found in the default location.
