Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
It sounds like you're trying to enable a snapshot schedule in Azure Data Share, but the option is greyed out. This can happen for a few reasons. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
- Check Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to enable snapshot schedules. You need to have the
Contributor
role or higher on the Data Share resource. - Register Resource Provider: Make sure the
Microsoft.DataShare
resource provider is registered in your Azure subscription. You can do this by navigating to your subscription in the Azure portal, selectingResource providers
, and registeringMicrosoft.DataShare
. - Verify Data Source: Ensure that the data source you are trying to share supports snapshot schedules. For example, Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage are supported, but some other sources might not be.
- Check Existing Schedules: If there is already an existing snapshot schedule, you might need to modify it instead of creating a new one.
- Follow the Steps: Here are the steps to enable a snapshot schedule:
- Navigate to your Azure Data Share resource.
- Click on
Received Shares
. - Select the specific share (e.g.,
share_contoso_sales
). - Click on
Snapshot Schedule
. - Select the schedule that has been made available by the data provider.
- Click
Enable
