KB33872: After changing the Intelligence Server name or IP address in the projectsources.xml file, an error occurs when refreshing or re-executing a report in MicroStrategy Office

SYMPTOM
When attempting to refresh or re-execute a report in Strategy Office 9.4.1 and above, users receive the following messages from the Strategy Office console and errors log:

 
Sample Code/Error
 

An error connecting to project Project Name
Error.  Project source 'Project Name' was not found and no project source is defined with server 'localhost' and authentication mode standard. Check project source

For more information on this setting refer to tech note KB19191: How to use the persisted project source name to refresh report using MicroStrategy Office 9.x
WORKAROUND
If the administrator decides that it is impossible to have every user implement this change manually, follow these steps to implement it automatically at the Web Services Server level, and have it override the settings at the user level.

1. Find the moimain.dll.config file located in the Web Services machine under Program Files\Strategy\Web Services\Office\moimain.dll.config
   Note: if the file doesn’t already exist, create a default one in a text editor.
   The contents of the file by default looks like this:
     Sample Code/Error
   
   
   

   
   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <configuration>
     <appSettings>
     </appSettings>
   </configuration> 

   
   
   
   
2. Add the following line: 
    
   
   Sample Code/Error
    
   
   

   
   <add key="Use PS Name" value="1" enable="0" override="1" />
   

   
    
   The resulting file should look like this:
    
   
   Sample Code/Error
   
   

   
   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <configuration>
     <appSettings>
       <add key="Use PS Name" value="1" enable="0" override="1" />
     </appSettings>
   </configuration>
   

   
   
   
   

Once this has been implemented, every client machine that connects to this Web Services machine will have the particular setting ‘Use the persisted Project Source name to connect’ enabled without needing users to change it themselves.
