Author Startup Parameter -T 1204
Cgal

2006-02-28, 8:23 pm

I am working with the RTM Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005 and Deadlock
trace output is not getting written to the error log. I use the -T startup
parameter and specify -T1204; -T 3605. I set the startup parameters using
the SQL Server 2005 Configuration Manager. I then restart the SQL Server
service and create a deadlock. The deadlock info. is not written to the
error log.

If I run the DBCC TRACEON (1204, 3605, -1) then the output appears in the
error log.

I also tried the low case ("-t") startup option and it did not work. As a
last ditch effort, I set the -T 1222 startup parameter but once again the
trace output is not written to the error log.

This seems to be a bug.

Please help.

Thanks!

Chris

Are you 100% certain you specify the startup parameters for the correct instance? I just added the
flag and I did indeed get a dump in the errorlog for my deadlock. Btw, Profiler has a nice graphical
deadlock viewer in 2005.
