SQL stored procedure update that you must run to install all Microsoft Project Server updates
To make sure that all the fixes that this update contains are
applied correctly on Microsoft Project Server 2002, 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 methods:
- If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the back end
for Microsoft 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 Microsoft 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 (SA)
account. You can also run the osql command with another user
name that has SA 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.
The SQL query may take several minutes to run on some computers.
You can confirm that the process completed successfully by viewing the stored
procedures on the server. If a stored procedure that is named
"MSP_WEB_SP_BUS_GetProjPathsForIDs" exists, the query completed
successfully.
