Profiler

Hey,
I want to run the profiler in certain times during the
day. Instead of me opening and closing sessions of
profiler, i extracted the script and run it through query
analyser (then schedula it as a job and run at the times i
want). I am testing this now and there seems to be a
problem. I run the script i got and when i execute it in
query anaylser the profiler file is created in the
location i want but no data is being written to it. I
cannot delete it because "the file is being used"... does
anyone know why this happenes? any work arrounds?
Help please!!Hi Claudia
This is normal.
Data is only written to the trace file in 128K chunks. So as soon as there
is 128K worth of events, you'll see some size for the file. If you stop and
close the trace, it will also write all the remaining data to the trace
file, or if the server is stopped.
