EXM 3 Sitecore 8: Invalid object name 'dbo.Fact_AutomationStatesStatisticsByMessage' after Setup

Question

After installing a clean sitecore 8 and the EXM module, I get the following exception when trying to create a new one-time-message:

Invalid object name 'dbo.Fact_AutomationStatesStatisticsByMessage'.

What's wrong?

Answer 1

During the installation process of the EXM module important-post-installation-steps are shown, also there is a site from sitecore explaining the steps:

Answer 2

Make sure that you run Sitecore.EmailExperienceManager.sql to create the necessary tables in the reporting database of your instance. The file is available in the Data folder.
