Applies to: Project Server 2010

Topic Last Modified: 2011-04-04

Bulk Update Project Sites is available through the Microsoft Project Server 2010 Server Settings page in the Operational Policies section. For more information about related administrative settings, see Operational Policies (Project Server 2010 settings).

Configure the Bulk Update Project Sites Setting

The Bulk Update Project Sites page allows you to change site path information for project sites in one Web application to a different one (for example, when migrating). It allows you to break the original links between projects and their corresponding project sites in one site collection and then relink to the new project sites in the new site collection.

  • Project Site Permissions

Update Site Paths

The Update Site Paths setting lets you break links between projects and project sites that are contained in one site collection and relink with the new project sites in a different site collection.

To update project site paths to a new site collection

  1. On the Server Settings page, in the Operational Policies section, click Bulk Update Project Sites.

  2. On the Bulk Update Project Sites page, in the Update Site Paths section, for Previous Site Path:

    1. Select the Web application for your project sites that you want to break the link to. If you are migrating project sites on the same server, the Web application that you need to select may appear as a URL. If you are migrating projects sites from a different server, the Web application you need to select may appear as a globally unique identifier (GUID).

    2. In the Site URL field, type the site URL information (for example, PWA).

  3. For New Site Path:

    1. Select the Web application that contains the project sites that you want to link to (for example, http://hr1.contoso.com).

    2. In the Site URL field, type the site URL information (for example, PWA).

  4. Click Save.

Update Content Types

The Update Content Types setting allows you to ensure that when you migrate content from one farm to another, the content types of Project Issues, Risks, and Documents are updated in the new location so that item links remain functional.

To enable the Update Content Types setting

  1. On the Server Settings page, in the Operational Policies section, click Bulk Update Project Sites.

  2. On the Bulk Update Project Sites page, in the Update Content Types section, select Update Content Types.

  3. Click Save.

Project Site Permissions

The Project Site Permissions setting allows you to synchronize permissions to the Project Sites while updating the site paths. This allows users to immediately access their project sites.

Note

For the Project Site Permissions setting to be enabled, the Project Site Permissions setting must also be enabled on the Project Site Provisioning page.

To enable the Synchronize site permissions setting

  1. On the Server Settings page, in the Operational Policies section, click Bulk Update Project Sites.

  2. On the Bulk Update Project Sites page, in the Project Site Permissions section, click Synchronize site permissions.

  3. Click Save.
