Project Server 2003 SP1 fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
You experience unexpected behavior when you use the Week format
You may experience unexpected behavior if you use the Week format to specify start dates for tasks in your project. For example, you may find that the start date for the task is displayed by using a different date from the date that you specified, or you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
The "Server extranet address" box is not empty when you delete its the contents
When you delete the contents of the Server extranet address box on the "Server configuration" page of Microsoft Project Web Access and then click Save Changes, the contents of the Server extranet address box is not empty as expected. The Server extranet address box contains a space character.
You cannot link issues, risks, or documents to tasks in your administrative project
You cannot link an issue, a risk, or a document to a task in your administrative project when you click one of the following options on the "View resource assignments" page of Microsoft Project Web Access:
- Link Risks
- Link Issues
- Link Documents
When you try to do link an issue, a risk, or a document to a task, you receive the following error message:
Note In this error message, Item is either issues, risks, or documents.
You do not experience this issue when you link an issue, a risk, or a document to a task in your administrative project by using the "View my tasks" page or by using the "Project Center" page.
Issues and risks that are assigned to you are not listed on the Home page of Microsoft Project Web Access
When you view the Home page of Microsoft Project Web Access, you may find that although an issue or a risk is assigned to you, you receive the following message under Issues or under Risks:
Note In this message, Item is either issues or risks.
This issue may occur if you are in a workgroup environment. For example, this issue may occur if Project Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services are located in one workgroup, and Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 and Microsoft Project Web Access are located in a different workgroup.
When you use Project Professional 2003 to open a project that is stored in Project Server 2003, click Documents on the Collaborate menu, click Shared Documents, and then click All Document Libraries, the Microsoft Project Web Access navigation bar appears on the "View and Upload Documents" page.
Additionally, if you click Shared Documents, and then click All Document Libraries again, or if you view a task on the 'View my tasks" page, and then click Go to linked issues, you receive the following error message:
"Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'MSP_ASSIGNMENT_BASELINES' with unique index 'I_MSP_ASSIGNMENT_BASELINES'" error message when you save a project
When you save a project to Project Server 2003 that contains baseline information, you may receive the following error message:
This issue may occur if you save the project immediately after you delete a previously saved project that contains the same baseline information. In this situation, the stored procedure that deletes information from the MSP_ASSIGNMENT_BASELINES table in SQL Server incorrectly processes the delete operation.
Data is missing from Portfolio Analyzer view after you upgrade Microsoft Project Server 2002 to Project Server 2003
When you view the Portfolio Analyzer view of a project on the "Portfolio Analyzer" page of Microsoft Project Web Access after you upgrade Microsoft Project Server 2002 to Project Server 2003, you may find that certain data that was published before the upgrade operation is missing. This issue occurs if the date and time entries in the AssignmentTimeStart column of the MSP_VIEW_PROJ_ASSN_TP_BY_DAY table in the Microsoft Project Server database are incorrectly processed during the upgrade operation. Data may be missing for projects that contain assignments that occur on the last day of the date range that is specified by the online analytical processing (OLAP) cube.
After you publish a project to Project Server 2003, a Windows SharePoint Services Web site is not created for the project, and you experience the following symptoms:
- When you log on to Microsoft Project Web Access, click Admin, click Manage Windows SharePoint Services, and then click Manage SharePoint sites, the name of the project appears under Project Name but no site address is listed under Site Address.
- If you click the name of the project, and then click Create Site, you receive the following error message:
This issue may occur if the name of the project contains an ampersand "&" character (without the quotation marks).
E-mail notifications are not sent if the address in the From address box contains one or more spaces
If the e-mail address that you specify in the From address box of the "Notifications and reminders" page of Microsoft Project Web Access contains one or more spaces, Project Server 2003 does not send the e-mail message. You do not receive an error message when this issue occurs.
Certain values that you specified for tasks in your project are unexpectedly blank when you edit and view your project by using the Project Center page
When you edit your project by using the Project Center page in Microsoft Project Web Access, you may find that certain values that you specified for tasks in your project are unexpectedly blank after you save the changes that you made to the project. For example, if you open your project by using the Project Center page, modify an outline code, and then save your changes, you may find that the Duration box for tasks in your project is empty.
The "Project Web Access Assignment Notes" dialog box for a task does not notify you that you cannot save new information to the Notes history area
When you open a note that is added to a task on the "View my tasks" page in Microsoft Project Web Access, type text in the Notes history area of the Project Web Access Assignment Notes dialog box, and then click OK, the text that you type is not saved to the note. The Project Web Access Assignment Notes dialog box does not contain any information to notify you that the Notes history area is read-only and that new information cannot be saved to this area.
The baseline bar on the View a Project page in Microsoft Project Web Access unexpectedly displays actual work
After you enter the actual work that is performed for tasks in a project, and then publish the updated information to Project Server 2003, the baseline bar may display incorrect information. When you view your project in Tasks Tracking view on the View a Project page of Microsoft Project Web Access, the baseline bar for the project unexpectedly displays the actual work.
Project Server 2003 database is in an inconsistent state after you use the ResourcesAdd method to add two resources that use the same user name in the same request
When you use the ResourcesAdd method to add two resources that use the same user name to the Enterprise Resource Pool in Project Server 2003 in the same request, you do not receive an error message. The operation appears to complete successfully. However, only one of the resources is added. When you view the Project Server 2003 database, two new entries are created in the MSP_RESOURCES table and in the MSP_TEXT_FIELDS table. However, only one new entry is created in the MSP_WEB_RESOURCES table. Therefore, the database is in an inconsistent state. This issue occurs regardless of whether the corresponding user accounts in Microsoft Windows are the same or are different.
When you work with categories in Microsoft Project Web Access, and you click Administrators under Users and groups with permissions on the Modify Category page of an existing category or on the Add Category page of a new category, the permissions that are listed in the Permissions table are unavailable (appear dimmed). You cannot edit permissions for the Administrators group in any category.
"Page cannot be found" error message when you use Microsoft Project Web Access to search for content in a document library in the Swedish version of Project Server 2003
You may find that you cannot use Microsoft Project Web Access to search for content in a document library in the Swedish version of Project Server 2003. When you connect to a document library, type a search string in the Search box, and then click Go, you receive the following error message:
This issue occurs because a string that is used by the search functionality is localized incorrectly, and an incorrect URL is returned.
Cursors in Project Server 2003 do not use the fast forward-only read-only cursor feature
Cursors in Project Server 2003 use the default cursor declaration and are not optimized to use the fast forward-only, read-only cursor feature.
The Users page in the Japanese version of Project Server 2003 contains incomplete information
Incomplete information appears on the Users page of Microsoft Project Web Access in the Japanese version of Project Server 2003. When you log on to Microsoft Project Web Access, click Admin, and then click Manage users and groups, the sentence that appears under the following buttons is incomplete:
- Add User
- Modify User
- Deactivate User
- Merge User Accounts
The sentence is incorrectly localized and does not read as follows:
Outline levels of a project are not displayed on the Updates page in Microsoft Project Web Access
The Updates page in Microsoft Project Web Access does not display the outline levels of a project. Because only the top-level summary tasks and specific tasks are displayed on the Updates page, you cannot distinguish between tasks that use the same names that are contained in different outline levels.
"An error occurred while exporting the grid to Excel." error message when you click "Export Grid to Excel" in Microsoft Project Web Access
When you click Export Grid to Excel on the Project Center page in Microsoft Project Web Access to export the project grid to Microsoft Excel, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
This issue occurs if the project contains more than eight outline levels.
The "View my tasks" page for a resource contains incorrect assignments after you update your project in Microsoft Project Web Access
After you click Update on the Updates page in Microsoft Project Web Access to update your project with new assignments, resources may not be assigned to the correct tasks when a resource views their assignments on the "View my tasks" page. This issue may occur if the following conditions are true:
- A resource uses Microsoft Project Web Access to assign him or her self to a task, and then updates the timesheet on the "View my tasks" page.
- The task has an existing assignment.
In this situation, the tasks that are listed for the resource on the "View my tasks" page may be incorrect.
Project Server 2003 takes a longer time than expected to process views
In certain situations, Project Server 2003 may take a longer time than expected to generate views for a project. The performance of the Project Server Views Processing Service service may be slow.
Grouping of tasks is not restored to use the previous setting when you click Revert on the View a Project page in Microsoft Project Web Access
When you view a project on the View a Project page in Microsoft Project Web Access, click Group by to organize the tasks into a group by using the options that you want, and then click Revert, you may find that the grouping of the tasks is not restored to the previous setting.
For example, if the tasks in the project are listed in numeric order, and you click Task Name in the Group by box to organize the tasks by task name, and then you click Revert, the tasks are not listed in numeric order as expected.
Resources are not leveled after you synchronize the Enterprise Resource Pool with Active Directory
After you synchronize the Enterprise Resource Pool with an Active Directory group in Microsoft Project Web Access, resources in your project are not leveled as expected. When you click Level Resources on the Tools menu in Project Professional 2003, and then click Level Now, tasks that are assigned to the resources are not rescheduled. This issue occurs because a leveling setting is not set correctly for resources that are added to the Enterprise Resource Pool by the synchronization operation.
"You cannot hide this task for one of the following reasons" error message when a resource tries to hide a task in Microsoft Project Web Access
When a manager removes a resource from a task in an administrative project, a black "X" appears next to the task as expected when the resource logs on to Microsoft Project Web Access, and then views the "View my tasks" page. However, the resource cannot hide the task. If the resource clicks the task, and then clicks Hide, the resource receives the following error message:
There is no option to add a ResourceNames field to the Timesheet view in Microsoft Project Web Access
When you modify the Timesheet view on the Modify Timesheet View page of Microsoft Project Web Access, there is no option to add a field to the view that can display the names of all the resources that are assigned to tasks in a project. Microsoft Project Server 2002 included a ResourceNames field. The ResourceNames field is not listed as an option in the Available fields list in Project Server 2003.
Tasks that are pending approval are unexpectedly listed on the "View my tasks" Web page when you click the URL in a progress request e-mail message
When a team member opens a progress request e-mail message, and then clicks the URL in the e-mail message to view the tasks that require a progress update, only tasks that appear in the Tasks pending manager's approval list are displayed on the "View my tasks" page in Microsoft Project Web Access. This issue occurs because Project Server 2003 uses an incorrect filter to list the tasks that require a progress update. The filter that is used lists the tasks that are pending approval from the manager and does not list the tasks that require a progress update.
"An error occurred while completing the operation" error message when you click Save Changes on the Modify Category page in Microsoft Project Web Access
When you click Save Changes on the Modify Category page of a category in Microsoft Project Web Access, you may receive the following error message:
This issue may occur if a user whose account status is set to Inactive is listed in the Users and groups with permissions box of the Modify Category page of a category.
Project Server 2003 incorrectly processes certain error codes for publish operations
Project Server 2003 incorrectly processes the error codes for certain errors that may occur during publish operations. When this issue occurs, the error codes are not returned to Project Professional 2003 when you publish a project to Project Server 2003.
You cannot use the ProjectTasksCreate method to add a task to a project if the ID parameter is not specified
When you use the ProjectTasksCreate method to add a task to a project, you may find that the task is not added to the project. This issue occurs if you do not specify an ID parameter for the task.
New task assignments are unexpectedly listed on the "View my tasks" Web page when you click the URL in a canceled task notification e-mail message
When a manager deletes a task from a project, and then publishes changed assignments for that project, the URL that appears in the e-mail message that the team members receive contains an incorrect URL. When the team member clicks the URL in the e-mail message, the "View my tasks" page in Microsoft Project Web Access does not list the tasks that were deleted from the project as expected. This issue occurs because the URL in the e-mail message contains an incorrect filter. The filter that is used lists the new tasks that are assigned to the team member and does not listed the tasks that were deleted by the manager.
Text is missing from notes that are pending approval on the "View task changes submitted by resources" page after you become the new manager for the project
When you republish the assignments for a project by using the Become a manager for these assignments option, and then you view tasks that are pending approval on the "View task changes submitted by resources" page in Microsoft Project Web Access, you may find that text that was added to a note in a task before you became manager of the project is missing from the note. You cannot approve the text in the note because the text no longer appears in the note.
Changes that you make to a resource calendar are not saved
When you change the calendar of an enterprise resource more than one time, any additional changes that you make to the calendar are not saved. You may find that changes that you make to calendars of other enterprise resources are not saved. For example, this issue may occur in the following situation:
- You check out an enterprise resource, change the working time for certain dates on the calendar, and then save and close the resource.
- You check out the same enterprise resource, change the working time for the same dates on the calendar that you made changes to in step 1, and then save and close the resource.

Known issues
Known issues that may occur during installation of the service pack
The Setup program may not display any messages on the screen during certain parts of the upgrade operation
When you upgrade Project Server 2003 to Project Server 2003 SP1, and the Project Server 2003 database is large, the Setup program may not display any messages during certain parts of the upgrade operation to notify you that the upgrade operation is running. The upgrade operation may appear to stop responding (hang). However, although no messages appear on the screen, the upgrade operation is still running. Depending on the size of the database, the upgrade operation may take several hours to complete. For example, the Setup program may take two hours to upgrade a database that is 5 gigabytes (GB). During this time, the Setup program may not display any messages on the screen.
Known issues that may occur after the service pack is installed
You cannot connect to the server if you are running Project Server 2003 SP1 and the original release version of Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 on the same server
After you install Project Server 2003 SP1 on the server, you may find that you cannot connect to the server by using Project Professional 2003. This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
- Project Server 2003 SP1 and Project Professional 2003 are installed on the same server.
- You upgrade the installation of Project Server 2003 on the server to Project Server 2003 SP1 but you do not upgrade the installation of Project Professional 2003 on the server to Project Professional 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
To connect to the server, both Project Server 2003 and Project Professional 2003 must be running the same version of Microsoft Office Project 2003. For example, Project Server 2003 SP1 and Project Professional 2003 SP1 must be installed on the server.
OLAP cube generation may not work correctly if the Project Server Scheduled Process Service service is running on all offloaded servers in a configuration that uses multiple views processing servers
In a configuration of Project Server 2003 that uses the Project Server Views Notification Service service, where the Project Server Views Notification Service service is offloaded to more than one server, only one of the offloaded servers can run the Project Server Scheduled Process Service service. If all offloaded servers are running the Project Server Scheduled Process Service service, OLAP cube generation may not work correctly, and you may experience the following symptoms:
- An OLAP cube is not built after you specify the update schedule for OLAP cube generation on the "Update resource tables and OLAP cube" page in Microsoft Project Web Access.
An event that is similar to the following is logged in the application event log on the computer that is processing the OLAP cube:
