  • Artikel

I assembled this list of what is new/deprecated in SharePoint and Project Server 2016 for a customer upgrading from Project Server 2013. He wanted to have a training call, so built the list and added some notes about important information in each. It's my hope that this will be useful to others.

      1. “A single database for multiple instances” – If you want to have more than one instance of PWA, I recommend you have separate databases for reporting purposes from the pjrep.* tables in the content database, because direct access to the reporting schema is supported only if there is a single instance of Project Web App that uses the database.
