    The Trace Properties dialog box appears.

    Note

  2. In the Trace name box, type a name for the trace.

  3. In the Use the template name list, select a trace template.

  4. Optionally, specify a destination file or table in which to save the trace results.

  5. On the Events Selection tab, click the SPID column heading to launch the Edit Filter dialog box. You can also right-click the column heading and choose Edit Column Filter. If the SPID column does not appear, check the Show all columns box.

  6. In the Edit Filter dialog box, expand the appropriate comparison operator, and enter a SPID as a value for the comparison.
