can''t show properties of DB

  • Hi,

    i have encountered a strange issue of Enterprise Manager, when i right click any DB, choose properties, the EM will hang. but other operation such as list tables/SP are fine.

    It is ruuning SQL2000 on Windows 2000 server.

    any idea? i don't have chance to reboot the server, since it is in production.

    Thanks,

    Jack

  • reboot the workstation?

    Does this happen everytime? I might uninstall, reinstall the client tools. And patch tem.

  • What do you mean 'it hangs'? Do you mean that you've selected the Taskpad view and you get a pop-up about a script error? If so, select View>detail (or something besides taskpad). Then do it again, but this time select Taskpad.

  • Looks like the server is too busy.

    How long you waited?

  • Hi, Steve,

    Thanks for your help.

    the issue happened 80% of time when i performe this operation, is uninstall/install client require a reboot? if so, i can't do that, since this is production server.

    thanks,

    Jack

  • thanks SqlBill, "it hangs" means EM is not responding anymore told by Task manager.

  • Hi, Just an FYI. I am experiencing the exact same problem in relation to looking at the properties of our production DB (which is on a clustered platform) from EM on my own client labtop. I tried unregistering the SQL Server in EM and registering it again but to no avail.

    I intend to uninstall SQL from my own client labtop and reinstall.
