MS Office Plugin


MS Project Plugin

Synchronizing my project plan tells me "Unable to check for pending changes"

This error indicates that at some point after importing your project into SFEE, you went into SFEE and deleted the top-level task folder that was imported.

Once imported, metadata is added to your project file in MS Project that indicates which item ids are inside SFEE that correlate to the items within your project plan. By deleting the top-level task folder, the synchronization method can no longer determine which items in SFEE correspond to the items within your project plan. Hence, it cannot determine if there are pending changes. To correct this issue, open MS Project, access the Tools Menu, and then select Unbind from the SFEE Options. This will remove the meta data from your project plan, effectively returning it to a pre-import state. You should now be able to re-import into SFEE without error.


How do I find the version of my MS Project plugin?

You can obtain the plugin version by selecting SourceForge->Synchronize, and when the login pops up, hovering the mouse over the SourceForge masthead. A tooltip will pop-up with the component version numbers.

The version we`re interested in is SFProject.DLL. It will show something like:

V2.1.1699.19433


SFEE Explorer

Why is SFEE Explorer forgetting my settings and not logging me in?

Certain conditions can cause SFEE Explorer to stop functioning properly and to start behaving "oddly". This can manifest itself as the app not logging you into SFEE, or it forgetting your settings, or just general "weird" behavior.

To correct this behavior, you can try the following:

delete your stored profile from within SFEE Explorer

If deleting the profile doesn`t correct the behavior, try the following:

delete your stored profile from within SFEE Explorer

uninstall SFEE Explorer

re-install SFEE Explorer

If for some reason that still doesn't fix it, try the following:

delete your stored profile from within SFEE Explorer

uninstall SFEE Explorer

delete the following registry key (and all subkeys):

o HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareVA ?SoftwareSourceForge ?ExplorerWindowsMainWindow

reboot

re-install SFEE Explorer


When using SFEE Explorer version 4.4 SP1 to connect to SFEE 4.4 SP1, you receive the following error message: "Error - wrong number of arguments

This error is due to an incomplete configuration of the SFEE server. To correct this, add the following to the /usr/local/sourceforge/sourceforge_home/etc/sourceforge_configuration.properties:

sf.requireAssociationOnDocumentCreate=true

sf.allowedAssociationTypeOnDocumentCreate=Any

sf.requireArtifactToBeOpenOnDocumentAssociation=false

After restarting the application you should now be able to connect using SFEE Explorer.
