After you update a project, if you have trouble
selecting objects, follow the instructions in this task to troubleshoot
the problem.
Procedure
Check the following items in the order given:
- Check the process rules for the project to
verify these settings:
- The task queries are correct in the folder template.
- The correct folders or folder templates are a part
of the process rule. You might be required to update the process rule
if the folders or folder templates for the project are incorrect.
- The baseline is set.
- Run the update operation by using the verbose option.
The verbose option generates extra information
about the candidates that are analyzed. The verbose option
provides the scores for each candidate and why they received the scores. See Changing update options.
- Check the project grouping properties:
- If you turned off Auto Update,
select the check box to turn on Auto Update again.
- If you removed a task temporarily, add the task.
- If you manually added a task, verify that you intend
to keep the task.
- Check that the baseline project is set.
- Build managers can compare process rules
to ensure that the rules are set correctly.
- Right-click a project or project grouping
and click Process Rule Properties.
- In the Process Rule Properties window,
click the object menu and click Compare with Process Rule
from Process. Verify that the baseline setting is correct.
- Build managers can right-click the project
a user is having problems with and click Properties.
Verify that the baseline project is appropriate.
If
a build manager used a generic process rule that uses the Specify
Baseline setting, and then added the setting to a release,
the baseline must be set for the process rule. If the baseline is
not set for the process rule, the project grouping using that process
rule does not get a baseline and cannot update correctly.
Build
managers can specify a baseline in the Process Rules Properties window.
