SQL Server 2012 - Trace flag T3226 does not work anymore?

  • I tried to turn on T3226 by both using DBCC TRACEON (3226,-1) and changing the SQL Server startup parameter directly. The startup log showed that the flag had been turned on:

    Registry startup parameters:

    -d E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf

    -e E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG

    -l E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf

    -T 3226

    However, successful backup jobs are still being logged. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

  • Use DBCC TRACESTATUS to check whether the trace flag has been applied correctly.

    If not, something is wrong with your startup options.

  • Thanks for the response. I had done that. I did it again just to show the results:

    dbcc tracestatus (-1)

    TraceFlagStatusGlobalSession

    32261 1 0

  • Weird... does it work if you set it with DBCC TRACEON directly (I mean, without setting in the startup params)?

  • As I said in the initial post, I had tried it both ways and it dod not work either way.
