Greyed Out Backup Option..

May 13, 2007

Hi Guys,

Why is that some of the databases has their "Transaction Log" & "File and Filegroup" options in Backup greyed out? I was trying to create a backup job using the sql enterprise backup wizard. However, the database that is the backend of our erp application has its "Transaction Log" and "File and Filegroup" option greyed out.

Any idea why?

Reporting Services Option GREYED OUT!

Aug 15, 2007

Hello All,

I have a workstation that had an installation of SQL 2K5 that a tech set up for me. Naturally, it was the wrong edition AND no components were actually installed, making my laptop into a paperweight. I advised that we get SQL Developer for the DBA's and I am trying to install but the option for Reporting Services is greyed out.

I have uninstalled SQL (I think it was Standard) and I even went through the "complete uninstall" detailed in one of these threads thinking that was the problem. I am still unable to install Reporting Services.

Has anyone run into this problem?

PLEASE HELP!

thanks!

SQL Server Database Services Option Greyed Out

Jul 15, 2007

Hi,



I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 onto my XP Professional PC. When I get to the "Components to install" part, the "SQL server database services option" is greyed out. Infact, all options except "Workstation components..." are greyed out. I've tried uninstalling all previous versions of SQL server and trying again, but with the same results.



any help would be much appreciated

SQL 2012 :: File And Filegroup Backup Components Greyed Out

Apr 22, 2014

I am looking at the file / filegroup level backup and recovery options within SQL Server and I'm struggling with the following concept.

Books online assures me that it is possible to perform a file restore whilst the database is in the simple recovery model.

So I have set up a database with two separate file groups, a read/write primary and a read only "secondary". Each filegroup has 2 underlying data files.

I have then created a "live" customers tables within the primary filegroup and assigned my existing "archive" customers tables within the secondary filegroup.

If I try to perform a file or filegroup level backup within management studio, those options are greyed out. I can only perform a database backup.

If I switch back to the full recovery model, the options are no longer greyed out.

So my question is this, is file level backup and recovery actually supported in the simple user model, do you have to perform this task outside of management studio, or (as is likely) am I missing something crucial?

Identity Increment = Greyed Out (actually, All Properties Are Greyed Out)

Oct 2, 2006

I am looking to make the primary key auto increment by 1.  I have found by looking around the internet that you need to do this in the Tables -> [Table Name] -> Columns -> [Column Name], Properties window, and I see the "Identity Increment" however all of the properties there are greyed out -- I can't access them. Any ideas on how to make this work?For some background: I'm running SQL Server 2005 with Visual Studio 2005.  To create this database, I right-clicked on my project, and went to 'Add SQL Database', I filled in the columns all from within visual studio.

May 6, 2015

I need to backup a single DB  with "Copy-only Backup" option on. I Want to place the backup on a different location, we have a media set which is used for daily backups. I want this backup placed on a different

server 192.168.250.xxx

I have added this location to "back up to" The old one is still there. I I then hit OK th backup hangs for 2-3 minutes and gives me an error which points to the old media set. SO I want to create a  new  media set and call it  "onlyonce" but what I am not sure about is  what this Means "back up to a new media set and erase all existing backup sets"  Does that mean all old backups will be deleted?

Encryption Keys Backup Option Is Disabled

Jan 23, 2008



I just installed Reporting Services (2005) in a "distributed installation" mode. That is, I have sql server 2005 on a separate server. I installed the Report Server on its own server where I already had IIS running.

That all seemed to go well and I didn't get any errors or anything. After the install process was done, I ran the RS Configuration Manager tool. Since "Install but do not configure" option was automatically selected for me, I started working through all the pages from top to bottom. Again everything worked, and I have green checkboxes next to all of the nodes in the left except...

When I get to the Encryption Keys page, it has a blue exclamation icon next to its icon in the left pane. On the page itself, the Backup and Change buttons are disabled, greyed out.

And, the next item down, Initialization, is shown with a greyed out "x" icon. It's not red, but greyed out.

So, I'm not sure what this all means, but I'm guess it means that I don't have RS set up yet...! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Debug Is Greyed Out?

Sep 5, 2006

I know there's a trick to this, that I can't figure out.



Have an SSIS package that I developed and deployed/saved(?) to a file on the SSIS server. Now I need to change the data flows. Did that, no issues, lets me resave the file, but I can't debug or execute the package so I can test what I did is right? Why is the debug drop down box greyed out? There's gotta be something I'm missing here.



THanks,

Jan 27, 2007

 

Hello I am working on a sql express table and while configuring the steps after I select the data source and the selectment statement window shows, I want to use the advanced tab but it is greyed out. I want to be able to add edit and delete my data. I have administrator rights for this project and the workstation so thats not the issue. What I am tryng to accomplish is extending a website to manage it's content and users. Also the table has colums and the colums has test data within them I tested a query and the connection had a successful return. Maybe it's a configuration thing I am unaware of.

SQL 2012 :: Configuring Memory Per Query Option And Index Create Memory Option

Feb 10, 2015

So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.

From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.

Report Builder, Getting Started Pane: OK Greyed Out

Sep 26, 2007



Hi all,

I'm working on a new SSRS implementation, and have created a Report Model against an SSAS database. I launced Report Builder and can see and select the model in the list, but the OK button at the bottom of the pane is greyed out so I'm unable to actually start building a report against it. Any ideas on what I need to change to make the button work? I have already verified that I have full access to the data source as well as the model, in addition to the underlying SSAS DB, so I don't believe it is a permissions issue... But I'm certainly open to any suggestions.


Thanks!

Parameter Greyed Out In Deployment, But Not Preview. Argh!

Mar 9, 2007

I've got a report with several cascading parameters. When I preview the report, everything works fine. However, when I deploy the report, the very first (and thus the rest) of the cascading parameters is greyed out. Any idea what's going on?

I am passing one unrelated parameter into this report, and I also have three non-cascading parameters before this one, but none of them are used in the queries for the cascading parameters. They also appear correctly at the top of the report.

This is rather frustrating since the preview works fine -- making it pretty difficult to debug the issue!

SQL Server Agent &> General Tab &> Mail Session Is Greyed Out ??

Feb 22, 2004

Hi All,

Great forum y'all have going here.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Enterprise Manager:
I have setup and 'sucessfully tested a MAPI session' with a mail profile via support services > sql mail. That works fine, however in sql server agent properties the mail session section on the first general tab appears to be greyed out.

scenario is:
Windows Server 2003 SBS edition
SQL Server 2000 SP3
Exchange Server 2003 is also running on the server, with Outlook 2003 client (so i suspect side chaining issue).

Any help appreciated! did not have any luck googling or using microsoft KB.

View Button For Step Output Logs Greyed Out

Jun 12, 2008

Hi.

My company has upgraded some of the database systems to SQL 2005 while other have a fresh install.

The problem we're seeing is that the view button located in the Advanced section of the steps in the Job properties windows is greyed out. The path is valid as we can copy the path and paste it at the run command and view the log.

Does anyone know how this problem can be resolved? If we select to log the results to a table; we have access to the corresponding view button but not the one for the file system logging.

We rely heavily on this feature since we used it often under SQL 2K. Can anyone provide any helpful details to resolve this or has anyone seen this problem before???

Any helpful replies would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Reporting Services :: SSRS Properties Greyed Out In SSMS On Windows 2008

Oct 17, 2008

Have installed SQL 2008 on Windows 2008 and have come across a strange issue.
 
When connecting to the Report Server cvia SSMS to enable "My Reports" (for example) the Report Server Properties are greyed out and we cannot alter them. This occurs when logged on both locally & remotely to the Win 2008 server.
 
Interestingly, we have another (XP Pro) box with SQL 2008 on it. If we connect to the Win 2008 SQL report server from the XP machine's SSMS, then we have full control and can access and change the report server properties on the Win 2008 server. 
 
The relevant domain accounts are in the Admin group on the Win 2008 server and the XP Server so we are confused as to why we cannot edit the Win 2008 report server properties locally.
