Importing Log File Fails When Query String Contains Single Quotes

• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you import a log file with log entries that contain query strings with single quotes, Usage Import may quit.

This problem only occurs with the SQL Server version of Usage Analysis.

CAUSE

The presence of single quotes in a query string causes Uas.exe to quit because there is more than one identifier present in the query string.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Site Server service pack that contains this fix.
