I have followed the instructions in You Tube Video "Configuring Common Project Administration (2010 Beta 1). I got all the way to the end of the video and was able to successfully deploy the predefined templates. I got the message "Predefined templates deployed successfully"; and I see the list of templates. When I click Create to try to create the test project, I am sent to the Projects page, I see the All Projects heading but nothing else??
I get the error message "Error Retrieving Contexts".

cpa.log shows:

My problem is similar, when in the web UI, I don't get an error retrieving contexts. I get a message saying there are no predefined templates...

Will templates work from an older version of Jazz?
Can I import them from another, older version?
Is there another, better solution?

Log in to the web UI, click Process Templage Management->
(using the following URL)
https://localhost:9443/jazz/admin#action=jazz.viewPage&id=com.ibm.team.process.ProcessTemplateManagement

If I click to Deploy processes the informational message at the top of the web page says "There are no predefined tamplates in the repository, To import a template, click the Import Template button." After clicking once the "Deploy Predefined Templates is grayed out.

For the following URL:
https://localhost:9443/jazz/admin#action=com.ibm.team.process.editProjectArea&itemId=new

When in Project Area Management -> Create Project Area -> Deploy predefined process templates -> the message reads "The predefined process templates have been deployed successfully. " I can't save any changes to a project because I can't start from an non-existent template.



I'm using the Beta: 3.0 M7 Beta.

I'm guessing this is the wrong forum. I'll see if I can find another that fits better.
