INTRODUCTION

Issues that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix package fixes the following issue:  

923730 An OLAP cube view contains empty resources in Project Server 2003



This hotfix package fixes the following issue that was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
 * The time zone is different between a server that is running Project Server 2003 and a client computer that is running Microsoft Office Project 2003. When the client computer views a managed period that is created on the server, the date range is incorrect. For example if the managed period is from Monday to Sunday (7 days) on the client computer the same managed period may be from Sunday to Sunday or from Monday to Monday (8 days).

This issue occurs if the managed period spans the change from standard time to daylight saving time.

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 to Project Server 2003, follow these steps:  Run the self-extracting package to extract the files in a temporary folder. 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, as appropriate for your situation:  If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the back end for Project Server, follow these steps: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> On the main server that is running SQL Server in your configuration, run SQL Query Analyzer.</li> In the Database box, click the ProjectServer database.</li> 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.</li> On the Query menu, click Execute.</li> When the query has finished executing, exit SQL Query Analyzer.</li></ol> </li> If you are using SQL Server Desktop Engine (also known as MSDE 2000) as the back end for Project Server, follow these steps: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> On the main server that is running SQL Server in your configuration, click Start, click Run, type osql -i \ .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 account. You can also run the osql command that has another user name that has system administrator permissions on the server.</li> At the password prompt, type the password for the account that you used the command in step A, and then press ENTER. The SQL query file that you specified in step A runs.</li></ol> </li></ul> </li></ol>
