    great article, thanks.

    what tweaks to this process are required to run a server-side trace on analysis services? when i export my Script Trace Definition, the 'For SQL...' options are greyed out. i am only able to export 'For Analysis Services...' which produces an xmla file.

    what do i do with that xmla file to schedule the trace?

    i subsequently found this:

    the summary answer to my question is: paste the xmla code into a job step

    thanks again

    That's good. And thanks for posting it back here. Other people who come along will find it useful.
