Issues that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Consider the following scenario. You create a new enterprise resource for an existing task. The task was created for a project that contains several unsubmitted timesheet reports that have been closed.

You then view the Tasks section on the home page of the enterprise resource. Several of the closed entries that go as far back as three months in the Tasks section display the following error message:
Your timesheet has not been submitted for the period date_range_for_time_period.
Consider the following scenario. You create two new Resource Enterprise multivalue fields as follows:
- ResourceEnterpriseRMV2ID_#ID
- ResourceEnterpriseRMV2ID_#+1ID
When you use the ResourceCodeValuesUpdate Project Data Services (PDS) method and when you add the <AutoCheckin>1</AutoCheckin> XML tag to the ResourceCodeValuesUpdate Project Data Services (PDS) method, the ResourceEnterpriseRMV2ID_#ID field is correctly updated. However, at the same time, the ResourceEnterpriseRMV2ID_#+1ID field is incorrectly updated. Only the first field should be updated.

SQL stored procedure update that you must run to install all Project Server updates

To make sure that all the fixes that this update contains are correctly applied to 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 procedures:
- If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the back end for Project Server, follow these steps:
  1. On the main computer that is running SQL Server in your configuration, run SQL Query Analyzer.
  2. In the Database box, click the ProjectServer database.
  3. 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.
  4. On the Query menu, click Execute.
  5. When the query has finished executing, 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:
  1. On the main computer that is running 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 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 together with another user name that has SA permissions on the server.
  2. 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.
