Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package

The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package but was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
  • Resource availability is only published for a subset of resources when you publish large date ranges. However, resource availability publishes successfully for all resources for small date ranges.

    Note This issue can occur when there are many Enterprise Resources in the Enterprise Resource pool. For example, this issue can occur if there are more than 2500 Enterprise Resources and if the date range to be published for resource availability is over 6 months. The issue can show up even if you have less than 2500 Enterprise Resources. Additionally, this issue can occur if the date range that is specified for publishing resource availability is over a very long time span. An example of a very long time span is 12 months or longer.

SQL stored procedure update that you must run to install all Project Server updates

To make sure that all the fixes that this update contains are applied correctly on Project Server 2003, follow these steps:
  1. Run the self-extracting package to extract the files in a temporary folder that you select.
  2. For each SQL query file, such as Websps.sql, that is extracted to the temporary folder that you selected in step 1, use one of the following methods:
    • If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the back end for Microsoft Project Server, follow these steps:
      1. On the main SQL server in your configuration, run SQL Query Analyzer.
      2. In the Database box, click the ProjectServer database.
      3. On the File menu, click Open, locate the SQL query file in the temporary folder that you selected in step 1, and then open the file.
      4. On the Query menu, click Execute.
      5. When the query has finished running, quit SQL Query Analyzer.
    • If you are using SQL Server Desktop Engine (also known as MSDE 2000) as the back end for Microsoft Project Server, follow these steps:
      1. On the main SQL server in your configuration, click Start, click Run, type osql -i tempdir\queryfile.sql -U sa in the Open box, and then click OK.

        For example, if you extracted the files in step 1 to the C:\Temp folder and the name of the query file is Websps.sql, type osql -i c:\temp\websps.sql -U sa.

        This command connects you to the local default instance of MSDE 2000 by using the System Administrator (SA) account. You can also run the osql command with another user name that has SA permissions on the server.
      2. At the Password prompt, type the password for the account that you used in step a, and then press ENTER. The SQL query file that you specified in step a runs.
