Use this tag for questions how to implement and troubleshoot Microsoft Distributed Replay for SQL Server.
The Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Replay feature can be used to assess the impact of SQL Server upgrades, patches, code changes, index-tuning, etc.
Similar to SQL Server Profiler, you can use Distributed Replay to replay a captured trace against an upgraded test environment. Unlike SQL Server Profiler, Distributed Replay is not limited to replaying the workload from a single computer.
Distributed Replay offers a more scalable solution than SQL Server Profiler. With Distributed Replay, you can replay a workload from multiple computers and better simulate a mission-critical workload.
The Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Replay feature can use multiple computers to replay trace data and simulate a mission-critical workload. Use Distributed Replay for application compatibility testing, performance testing, or capacity planning.
See the MSDN page on Distributed Replay for further details.
