How to: Make Templates from Trace Files (SQL Server Profiler)

This topic describes how to create a trace template from an existing trace while it is running by using SQL Server Profiler.

To derive a template from a running trace

  1. If necessary, switch to the window that contains the trace.

  2. On the File menu, point to Save As, and then click Trace Template.

  3. Type a name or select one from the list. Click OK.

Note

If you select an existing template file, you are asked if you want to overwrite the file. You can only select a user-defined template. Predefined system trace templates cannot be overwritten.
