Issues that the update rollup fixes
This update rollup fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  When the threshold is set so that the scoring pattern is &quot;Decreasing is better,&quot; the scorecard may display the wrong status. For example, the status may be displayed as green when the status should be displayed as red.

 You use Time Intelligence and specify a current lag value and a previous lag value. If the Adomd.net connection uses a connection string, the following error message is logged in the Application event log:

An error has occurred while querying the time-intelligence members for a KPI Measure.

KPI ID: e4333d54-3457-45fb-82c2-9c4f31e3fe79

KPI Measure: Default Target

Exception: System.Argument

Exception: A data source must be specified in the connection string.

 When you view a dimension, the labels for the row headers may be displayed as numbers.

 When you try to filter a scorecard by a column, the columns are not sorted. Instead, you receive the following error message:

An unexpected error has occurred.

 You modify the default scorecard view in ScoreCard Builder. Then, you publish the scorecard. When you view the scorecard in a Web browser, the Person Responsible field may be incorrect.

 You modify a scorecard that contains KPIs and report views. Then, you modify the scorecard view to enable the Enable cell selection and Pass cell selection to report view options. If you click a cell in the published scorecard, you receive the following error message:

An unexpected error has occurred.

 You enable the Append page filter option and the Render as image option in the Report views editor. Additionally, the page filter dimension contains an ampersand (&) in the filter name. If you use the Reports view in a published scorecard, the report is displayed as a red X.

</li>  You add a row member and then add an additional column, such as a Description column, to a scorecard. When you publish and then deploy the scorecard to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site or to a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 site, you receive the following error message:

There is a problem rendering this control. Please contact a system administrator.

Additionally, the following is logged in the Application event log: An exception occurred while rendering a Web control. The following diagnostic information might help to determine the cause of this problem:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at Microsoft.PerformanceManagement.Scorecards.WebControls.ViewTableCtrl.InsertAdditionalColumn(TableRow tr, Table table, TargetValueCollection topTargets, HeaderItem rowHeader, ColumnProperty columnProperty, UInt32 rowIndex)

at Microsoft.PerformanceManagement.Scorecards.WebControls.ViewTableCtrl.InsertMatrix(Table table, TargetValueCollection topTargets, Boolean[] targetFilterFlags)

at Microsoft.PerformanceManagement.Scorecards.WebControls.ViewTableCtrl.CreateChildControls

at System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls

at Microsoft.PerformanceManagement.Scorecards.WebControls.ScorecardCtrl.CreateChildControls </li> If you perform a copy-and-paste operation with a KPI that has a stated score in ScoreCard Builder, the scorecard may display an incorrect status. For example, if the KPI displayed a green status before you performed the copy-and-paste operation, the pasted KPI may display a yellow status.
