This article describes how to create a trace template from an existing trace while it's running by using [!INCLUDE ssSqlProfiler].
-
If necessary, switch to the window that contains the trace.
-
On the File menu, point to Save As, and then select Trace Template.
-
Type a name or select one from the list. Select OK.
If you select an existing template file, you're asked if you want to overwrite the file. You can only select a user-defined template. Predefined system trace templates can't be overwritten.
