Hi,
I'm attempting to replay a trace using ostress from the RML utilities and am stuck.
Trying to replay the trace with ostress is throwing an error, I think it could be "REPLAY ERROR: Total users value 0", highlighted in the capture below:
The trace was recorded with the default profiler replay template and then converted to RML with readtrace.

Solved. I got this back from microsoft, there were problems with the RML file as the readtrace hadn't succeeded.

This is your key aspect. We look at the files that are to be processed and for some reason on your system we are not finding any to replay.
Is the incoming file name .RML correct and qualified correctly? OStress does a FindFirstFile to validate it and if it does not exist we ignore it and the number to replay would be 0.
