Profiler

    Does anybody know how to create a template in SQL Profiler 2008r2 that would allow you to use that on a 2012 server?

    I Profiler can trace what I am doing in the software which is on 2012 but I won't let me save my template to use it again. I have to continually change the settings.

  • Hi cdl_9009, welcome to the forum 😀

    I don't know if i did understand your question but you can create templates within sql server profiler this way :

    Click File > Templates > New Template

    Hope it helps.:cool:

  • Correct,

    I was creating my template that way but when tried to tie it to my SQL2012 database, it wouldn't save the template for me to use it when I got in the next time. I always have to manually set it up.

    I am thinking maybe I can't save it because I don't have SQL2012 client utilities on my machine. I only have the 2008r2 but I can use 2008r2 to access 2012 database and query it.

  • Not related, but with sql server 2012 you have now Extended events, pretty similar to SQL Server profiler but with better performances and scalability. Check it out ! 😀

  • If you are using the GUI for Profiler Trace (Taking a guess, but I believe you are)

    Have you considered scripting from your template out with appropriate options to run a server side trace? Additionally a server side trace is less resource intensive that client side. Be sure to filter as many things out as possible to make trace more specific.

    Create a profiler trace on the 2008R2 machine. Export the trace as a TSQL script and run that script on the 2012 server. You shouldn't have any problems.

    In essence you would be creating a server-side trace and using it on another server.
