Slow performance when you open issues in PWA (812643)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project Server 2002
  • Microsoft Project Professional 2002

SYMPTOMS

When you try to open an issue in Project Web Access (PWA), there may be a significant delay of as much as 30 seconds. This may occur for projects that contain a large number of issues. When you use Sharepoint Team Services (STS) to open the issue, the issue opens immediately.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Microsoft Project Server 2002 queries the STS details one time for each issue. Projects that contain as many as 50 issues or more can result in extended delays.
