Getting Started — Trace Replay

Capture on a representative workload window first (short), confirm events appear on the Summary, then replay to a non-production target with Dry-Run enabled before a full multi-threaded replay.

Getting Started

  1. Connect to Source Server — The connection dialog appears on startup. Enter the source SQL Server where you want to capture traces.
  2. Set Target Server — Click "Set Target Server" in the header bar to configure the replay destination.

All four authentication modes are supported: Windows, SQL Server, Azure Entra ID (Password), and Azure Entra ID (MFA).
