Error or Warning Message

When trying to backup projects using Project Manager, the following error occurs:

Internal Error
Error Message: Invalid database object reference.
TargetSite: Void ExecuteSQL(Int32, System.String)
DeclaringType: MDBProxy.ConnectionManager
Attributes: internal
MemberType: Method

The software may otherwise function normally.  The problem occurs when an Oracle project database is used.

How to Avoid

Use the fully-qualified hostname for the Server Name field in the Project Database area of [[Setup]] instead of a simple host name.  The fully-qualified host name would be in the following format: hostname.domainname

For example: myhost.xyz.com
