Issues that the hotfix package fixes
The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package. This issue was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
 * Resource availability information is not updated for certain resources

You update resource availability information on the Update resource tables and OLAP cube page of Microsoft Project Web Access 2002. When you view resources on the Resource Center page, resource availablity information is not updated for certain resources. You may notice that resource availability information is not updated for resources that have higher Unique ID values. If you reduce the date range for retrieving resource availability information to a shorter time period, you no longer experience these symptoms. For example, if you reduce the date range to 6 months, you no longer experience these symptoms.

This problem occurs if the number of rowsets in the database table exceeds the maximum number of 1,048,001 elements. In this situation, Project Server 2003 does not successfully complete the update operation. This problem may occur when the both the following conditions are true:
 * The date range is set to a long time period, such as 12 months.
 * Lots of data must be gathered for processing.

SQL stored procedure update that you must run to install all Project Server 2002 updates
To make sure that all the fixes that this update contains are applied correctly on Project Server 2002, follow these steps:  Run the self-extracting package to extract the files in a temporary folder that you select. For each SQL query file that is extracted to the temporary folder that you selected in step 1, use one of the following procedures.

Note For example, Websps.sql is an SQL query file.  If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the back end for Project Server 2002, follow these steps:  On the main 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, quit 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 2002, follow these steps: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> On the main 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 if 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.</li> When you are prompted for your password, 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.</li></ol> </li></ul> </li></ol>
