Recently I deployed a four server SharePoint/Project Server 2010 farm. Servers as follows:
- SharePoint Application Server 1
- Project Application Server 2
- SQL/AS/SRS Server 3
- SharePoint Web Front End Server 4
Accessing the SharePoint site collections worked great. When accessing Project Server, however, I occassionally encountered an error. It was sporadic and could typically be resolved with a refresh of PWA. Nonetheless, the issues required a resolution. I did some researching and found a similar issue on a the SharePoint and Everything Else Blog, although it was not related to Project Server. It was, however, an endpoint failure in a multi-server SharePoint farm. I therefore followed the solultion, tweaked for Project Server 2010, and now the error is no more. Solution as follows:
In my case I wanted the Project Server service to run on just Server 2. I therefore went into central administration and turned the service off on the other servers. I then launched PowerShell from Server 2, and did the following:
- Run Get-SPServiceInstance
- Located the ID of the Project Application Service.
- Run Stop-SPServiceInstance ServiceID
- I waited and confirmed the service was stopped by running Get-SPServiceInstance again
- Run Start-SPServiceInstance ServiceID
Now no more error!
