Can you give more context about what you are doing? What are you running above?

If you run the query in the warning message, what result do you get?

What does "SELECT @@version" return

Hi @Raghavendra Katageri ,

Thanks for your guidance @Erland Sommarskog

@Raghavendra Katageri The questions you raised are valid, since exit code 14 is not a standard SQL Server error and the failing query against sys.traces needs verification. To move this forward, could you please share the output of SELECT @@VERSION and the result of the sys.traces query? That will help narrow down why exit code 14 is being returned.

That information will help determine whether this is version-related, permissions-related, or tool-specific behavior. Looking forward to your update.

Thanks,
Akhil.
