INF: RML Utilities: Turning on Trace Flags

  • Article

Summary

When using the RML utilities the logged message or documentation can indicate that use of a trace flag is necessary to change behavior.

More Information

The RML Utilities use command line parameter ( -T) as a trace flag to alter the utilities behavior.  The term trace flag is a hold over from the SQL Server concept.   Unless otherwise specified the trace flag is NOT a dbcc traceon(##) request.   Instead, add the -T## as a parameter to the command line invocation of the utility.
