back to the
topIssues that are fixed in the hotfix package
The following issues are fixed in this hotfix package, but were
not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
- When you run Project Server 2003 with many open resources,
your server may experience very high CPU usage.
- When you publish a very large number of project plans to
your project server, publishing may take an unexpectedly long time to
complete.
- If you change the regional settings on your project server
computer to a European language (such as Spanish, Dutch, or Finnish) that
contains a decimal symbol set to a comma, the non-decimal value may be shown
incorrectly in the Project Center for Enterprise Project Number fields that
contain a formula or a value list.

back to the topSQL stored procedure update
To make sure that all the fixes that this update contains are
applied correctly on Project Server 2003, follow these steps:
- Run the self-extracting package to extract the files in a
temporary folder that you select.
- For each SQL query file (such as Websps.sql) that is
extracted to the temporary folder that you selected in step 1, use one of the
following steps:
- If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the back end
for Project Server, follow these steps:
- On the main SQL server in your configuration, run
SQL Query Analyzer.
- In the Database box, click the
ProjectServer database.
- 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.
- On the Query menu, click
Execute.
- When the query has finished running, you can quit
SQL Query Analyzer.
- If you are using SQL Server Desktop Engine (also known
as MSDE 2000) as the back end for Project Server, follow these steps:
- On the main SQL server in your configuration, click
Start, click Run, type osql -i
tempdir\queryfile.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 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 account. You can also run the osql command with another user name that has system administrator
permissions on the server. - At the Password prompt, 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.
