The last message appears in the Current Cube Status section.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if you have applied the Microsoft SQL Server Service Pack 3, but you have not applied the matching Service Pack for SQL Analysis Services.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install SQL Analysis Service Pack 3:  Visit the following SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 Web page:

 Scroll down to the Files in this Download section, and then click the Sql2ksp3.exe file. In the File Download dialog box, click Save. In the Save As dialog box, specify a location on your computer to save the file, and then click Save. In the Download Complete dialog box, click Open. In the Installation Folder dialog box, click Finish. Click Yes to create the C:\Sql3ksp3 folder. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer, click Explore, browse to the C:\Sql2ksp3\X86\Setup folder, and then double-click SetupSQL.exe.</li> Follow the instructions on the screen to install the service pack.</li> Install SQL Analysis Service Pack 3. To do this, repeat steps 1 through 8, with the following exceptions: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> In step 2, click the Sql2kasp3.exe file.</li> In step 7, browse to the C:\Sql2ksp3\Msolap\Install folder, and then double-click Setup.exe to install SQL Analysis Service Pack 3.</li></ol> </li></ol>

Note If you installed Project Server in a distributed configuration where Project Server and SQL Analysis Services are installed on different computers, apply Microsoft SQL Server Service Pack 3 (Sql2kasp3.exe) to update your Decision Support Object for SQL Analysis on your Project Server computer.

Note Additionally, in Microsoft Project Server Web Access, you must migrate the Analysis Services repository to a Microsoft SQL Server database and grant permissions to the Microsoft Project Server\Bin\1033 folder. For more information about how to migrate the Analysis Services and grant the necessary permissions to the Microsoft Project Server\Bin\1033 folder, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
