BUG #: 13966 (Plato7x)



SYMPTOMS
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services introduced a limitation on the number of open OLEDB sessions through HTTP for the same process in SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) to a single session. Because of this, some client applications might experience additional authentication prompts, or access denied errors if they use multiple HTTP connections to Analysis Services on a single client, or if they use a middle tier component to connect to Analysis Services.

With this hotfix, applications can retain the pre-SQL Server 2000 SP3 behavior by adding the string &quot;Restricted Client=2&quot; in the connection string for Analysis Services.



Service pack information
To resolve the problem, follow these steps:  Install SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Service Pack 4 on the server.

For more information about how to obtain SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Service Pack 4, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

 On the client computers, install either PTSLite.exe or PTSFull.exe from SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Service Pack 4. Add the string &quot; Restricted Client=2&quot; in the connection string for Analysis Services.
