I looked at Log i get error

E000 Error encountered while generating reports. Write to [msdb].[dbo].[DTA_reports_index] failed. 1 [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Not enough columns bound

How to get rid of this Error and get recommendations

What user account are you using to run the DTA and what permissions does it have in the database engine?
Make sure that the login has all of the needed rights:

If this is the first run of the DTA, you have to use a sysadmin user to launch it. After the first run, a login can tune the PDS of any database it has db_owner rights to.

Looks like there may be some setup table issues. I found this:

and teh solution was to fun a script to recrete the tables. I am looking for the script now.
