Analysis :: Profiler Trace Doesn't Capture Full MDX Query
Sep 16, 2015
I am trying to load all the MDX queries that run on a Analysis Server instance into a database for further analysis. A SQL Profiler is setup which captures the MDX queries, and when I am loading the Profiler info to database, some of the queries are not coming up in full length.The TextData field doestn't show full MDX query. When loading to the database, the field is next data type. Is there any workaround to get the complete MDX query?
Set up a trace with the events RPC:Completed, SQL:BatchCompleted, SQL:BatchStarting, and SQL:StmtCompleted.
When I issue the statement: SELECT * FROM XyzView there is nothing captured in Profiler. If I script out the view and then execute the select statement that defines the view, it does show up in Profiler.
I've tried adding a lot of the other events, i.e. SP:StmtCompleted and the various other StmtStarting events and the trace still does not capture anything.
Am I capturing the wrong events or is this known behavior? My goal is to see what the overhead is for using a view versus persisting the results of the view as a table and referencing that instead. The view in question is against static data, joins 9 tables, and is referenced a lot.
I can use the stats generated when I execute the select that defines the view but I still find this to be curious behavior so I assume I'm doing something wrong.
I have to leave a production trace running for a couple of days to track down a little bit of data corruption. I am setting the stop time and maximum file size and I am running it from another machine and writing to a file and not a table and all of that good stuff.
however since I am going to be leaving this running for a while I do not want to deal with a gigantic file to sift through I am trying to limit my trace to all of the stored procs, which can be coming from other databases, to those inserting and and updating a particular table.
I have been goofing around with the Objects:Closed and Objects:Open and the SP:Starting And SP:Completed events, but I can not seem to make this work. I skimmed through the first 5 pages of my google search and my BOL search, but came up empty.
Is this possible? I thought I had done this before.
I am going over the output of a Profiler trace and I've found that the duration for many occurrences of EventClass 15 (Logout) is several seconds, up to a maximum of 20 seconds. That seems excessive just to complete a logout, so my question is, does the duration figure reflect only the time to complete the logout operation or does it include the total time that the connection has been active for?
Anyone can tell me how I can take out the events which produce SSMS? (open query windows create three rows). I don't see anythinq filter for SSMS in filter events of profiler. I'm doing at trace and this is not confortable.
im trying to understand how the profiler works. so i started 2profilers,one listen to another and I saw the profiler is running:exec sp_trace_create @P1 output, 1, NULL, NULL, NULLwhich means @tracefile = NULLso where from the profiler read the results?!
HiI want read a trace file generated by SQL Server 2005 througr SQLServer 2000.But fn_trace_gettable function in SQL 2000 does not recognize the fileas of proper format.If there is some other tool or utility available through which i canread the file generated by SQL Server 2005.Or if I can get the file format of the file then I will write my owntool.ThanksPushkar
Greetings,I have been attempting to develop a useful and functional template fordatabase tracing/profiling that will enable me to collect metrics forperformance tuning. The database is used as an OLTP database as well asrunning reports. Below is a list of my trace properties and data columns.I would be interested to see other examples and strategies for the Profiler.thanxPerformanceExecution planSecurityAudit LoginAudit LogoutSessionsExisting ConnectionStored ProceduresRPC: CompletedTSQLSQL:Batch completedDATA COLUMNSEvent classtextdataapplication nameNTUsernameLoginNamesCPUreadwritedurationclient proc idSPIDStarttime
If a table has a trigger on it, and I am profiling.. on StmtCompleted... no filters... all teh stored proc code comes up, but, is there any way at all to see the same for trigger statements? I want to trace thru the proc and thru all trigger code also. Any ideas on work-around to trace trigger code, if Profiler can't do it? Thanks, Bruce
We have two servers each running SQL7. I cannot run a trace on one server from the other. Whatever server name I enter in the drop down box, the trace only records activity on the server that profiler is running on. Even if I put a non-existent server name in the box (!), the trace accepts the name but still only runs on the host server.
Can anyone provide with an example of how to script a profiler trace to have the data wind up in a SQL Table. The scripting mechnism that comes with SQL Server will not allow you to put the results in a table.
I've set the Duration of my trace to "Greater than or Equal to: 1000". However when I start my trace the Duration column is now empty. Prior to the setting, there were values showing in this column. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is there a way to setup a trace to show only direct TSQL statements triggered on my server? note I don't want to capture Procedure calls or the statements called within the procs.
Actually many people are firing direct SQL statements on server. And some are coming from entity framework as well. I just want to capture those.
I have discovered trace output in MSSQLDATAMSSQL.1MSSQLLOG that I have not kicked off. It is at various times and limited to 20MB. So that tells me a server event is kicking off a pre-defined trace. The trace contains mostly hash warnings and sort warnings. I have looked through my Agent Jobs, Agent Alerts, and perfmon and don't find anything that is set up to kick off a trace under a specified condition. I have checked the job activity, SQL error logs, SQL server logs, and the server's event viewer for any odd events or event times that correlate with the times of the traces. I have checked each database's sys.sql_modules for a definition containing '%sp_trace%'. Where else can I check to find what would be triggering these traces?
Our app logins don't have permissions high enough to run traces, I verified:
You do not have permission to run 'SP_TRACE_CREATE'
I am the DBA, not a .NET programmer -- so I am lacking experience if there's anything on the .NET side.
This is SQL 2005 64-bit running active/passive on a Win2003 clustered pair.
With SQL Server 2005 there is an option to grant a person access to Profiler for tracing SQL. This is done with the "GRANT ALTER TRACE" statement. The statement has to be executed at server level i.e. the master database.
The user in question only has access to certain databases on that server. The security problem that arises is that with the Profiler rights active, he can see the sql commands that are executed on the databases he has no rights for. Those SQL commands are executed by others users.
How do I configure security rules so that the person in question can use Profiler, but can only see the SQL statements that are executed on the databases he has the rights for? TIA!
How on earth can a Profile Trace be run where SSE 2005 is installed??? In the past, with MSDE, we always installed the 'tools' on a local workstation, so that we had EnterPrise Manager and its suite of tools...no problem. Yet, with Management Studio Express (err...Distress?), there's no way to do this! I've scoured the net, and I see threads where people have done it, yet, no one seems to be clear...including Microsoft...on how to obtain this MOST IMPORTANT of all tools for an SQL deployment.
I am attempting to create a new trace but I get the following error message: "failed to start a new trace".
I have been doing some digging and as I understand it, I had to find the directory Profiler uses for temporary files. So, I typed the following in the command window "SET TMP" and I received the following reply:
C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp
Now, according to the forum: [URL] ...
I am supposed to check that the system folder pointed to by the TMP environment variable exists and is not crammed with files.
Well, when I went to the directory C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp, it is indeed full of both files and directories. The size is 16.3 MB and has 133 files and 63 folders.
When I had a look at the Environment Variables window and chose TMP the value is "%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalTemp" which according to my limited understanding is the equivalent to C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp.
So, what I am wondering is am I supposed to totally clear out this directory? I am not too keen on doing this because I don't want to stuff my PC up.
This is for SQL Server 2005 SP4 Build 5266. We have been having performance issues in production. There are tight deadlines to be met and it is important that they are solved promptly.
Yesterday we replicated the situation in the acceptance testing environment. The jobs take 8 hours to run and we started at 2:00 PM.
Just before the jobs ran I set up an SQL Server Profiler trace to catch processes with a duration of longer then 12 seconds. I set it to save the results to a database table.
Last night I checked the table at 5:00 PM and there were entries in the table. However, I could be mistaken.
At 9:00 PM I checked the table and it was empty.
This morning I arrived at work and checked SQL Server Profiler. The trace was running and within SQL Server Profiler, there are 100s of results. I stopped the trace. However, checking the table, it is empty.
I thought I would be able to save the trace results to a file. When I chose "Save As" from the file menu, all the options are greyed out (trace file, trace template, trace table, etc).
The results are there but there is no way of saving them and no way of exporting them. How could this have happened?
Is there a location, where SQL Server Profiler saves the results in a temporary space. I may be able to open them and retrieve them. How can I save the results? Why are all my options greyed out?
Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
Hi, I have no idea what i'm doing wrong: Tried to gather more detail information about Deadlock (error # 1205) set the trace flag 1204 - ON (tried 1205 - ON as well) nothing happend, still the same message outgoing "Your transaction (process ID #13) was deadlocked with...." with no any detail. If anybody met the same problem before, HELP please.
Maybe the information goes to some place other than Error Log file?
I am getting deadlock in my production, i was taken deadlock information from trace file , i found deadlock graph but i am unable to find exact scenario . I am attaching deadlock trace file.
After the incremental process and full process, SSAS doesn't drop the index files #.xxx.fact.map and #.xxx.fact.map.hdr in the file.0.dim folder. We now have all the versions from 3 to 5000 sitting in the folder. The DBA team only found this when the disk is running out of space recently.
We've already check the account running the SSAS has local admin to the server.
Is there any config setting that might cause this issue? If not, what could it be causing this issue.
Hi all,I have a SQL Server 2000 database that is using the Full recoverymodel. The database is purely receiving inserts (and plenty of them)with maybe some view/table creation for reporting.In this state I would expect the log to grow ad infinitum but it getsto about 32% used and then empties.The log is not being backed up at all so am I missing something else?CheersDee
I have SQL 2005 on 64 bit cluster OS is Windows server 2003 SP2. We have full-text enabled on one table of the database. It has doc,xls,pdf and swf type of documents. Now full text works for word and excel docs but not for pdf files.
I searched online and found two commands to execute after installing Adobe 6.0 ifilter. I did it last week and then server was rebooted last weekend so it restarted all the services exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1
exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0
still pdf full text search is not working. Does this ifilter from Adobe works for 64 bit?

I am able to perform full text searches if I inform SQL Server the file is a text file but when I set the correct type as a csv the file does not get indexed.
Also nocticed that I have two IFilters one that comes with SQL and the other with Office they have the same name and just the one that is on system32 handles CSV files, office files are processed correctly.
This are the IFilter locations: C:WINDOWSsystem32offfilt.dll C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4MSSQLBinnofffilt.dll
I have a valid CSV but when I run the FiltDump.exe command I get: C:Temp>FiltDump 1075555.csv FILE: 1075555.csv Error 0x80030050 loading IFilter
This is the type of error log I get from SQL Server: 2007-11-20 15:30:18.46 spid24s Warning: No appropriate filter was found during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[FileStorage].[dbo].[Document]' (table or indexed view ID '6', database ID '162099618'), full-text key value 0x00000002.

I have created a tabular model with VS 2013 Ultimate. I deployed the model several times and everything works great with Power Pivot.
One of the dimension tables, "Age", has an integer field that is null. I updated that column in SSMS to have values, processed the table in VS and the "Age" column now has integer values.
I deployed the model again, connected with Power Pivot, and the "Age" column still has not data. I refreshed the Excel spreadsheet several times, started a new one, deployed several times and there is still not data in the "Age" column even though it clearly exists in VS.
I opened SSMS on the Analysis Service and queried the table in question and it also shows no data in the Age column even though it is in the data table and the VS model.
I can't find anything different about this column than others that contain data. How can this be happening?
Hi all, We have a table that is full text enabled and it is working fine, but the full text search doesn't returns any record for the following case
select * from let_catalog_search where contains(search_field,'"Bulk Process 1*"') even though there exist records that satisfy the condition in the table, the record that i am talking abt is "bulk process 1 with price bp100-ilt1-00200136 bp100-ilt1"
If I remove the last 1 from the search string i get lot of records, Can anybody help me out.
I want to display my problem. I have a cube that connected to hive DB through views. There are some changes that apply to some related tables on hive. This changes reflect on the cube so i make full process for the cube. I want to process only partitions that have been changed without full process. I detect changes on this table on another table on the local database.
I'm trying to organize this SQL query from a packet capture and I'm more of a network/application guy, not so much of a DBA. To me it looks like they are using variables in their query and the "@" is a delimiter.
