[!INCLUDE SQL Server] There are two ways to schedule tracing in Microsoft [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. You can:
-
Enable a trace stop time.
-
Use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent to schedule a trace.
You can specify a trace stop time if you use [!INCLUDEtsql] stored procedures or if you use [!INCLUDEssSqlProfiler]. The stop time must be set when the trace is originally configured.
The best way to schedule traces is to use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent to start the trace and then specify a trace stop time by using the [!INCLUDEtsql] stored procedure sp_trace_setstatus, or [!INCLUDEssSqlProfiler].
To set an end time filter for a trace
