To get a version of ReadTrace that can process SQL Server 2016 and 2017 trace files or XEL files, follow these steps:

1. Download the Database Experimentation Assistant (DEA) from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54090
2. Install the DEA toolset. Default path used is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Corporation\Database Experimentation Assistant"
3. If you look in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Corporation\Database Experimentation Assistant\Dependencies\X64" you will notice the latest versions of ReadTrace.
4. Make a backup copy of your existing ReadTrace and other related files from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Corporation\RMLUtils
5. Copy the 4 files from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Corporation\Database Experimentation Assistant\Dependencies\X64" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Corporation\RMLUtils" and overwrite the existing files.
6. Now you should able to process the trace files of SQL Server 2016 and 2017 using the newer version of ReadTrace.

The team that owns the ReadTrace utilities has an action item to update/refresh the download bits for RML with these new binaries. There is no estimated date on when this will be made available.

Is there any update on when RML that supports 2016/2017 will be available publicly?

[JosephOBrienDBA]

Why are we still waiting for a version of ReadTrace that can process Sql Server 2016?

[fatherjack]

Is there news on support for SQL 2016/2017+2019 please?

[suresh-kandoth]

Please see instructions from https://github.com/microsoft/SqlNexus/wiki/RML-Utility to get the latest updates to ReadTrace that can process all versions of SQL Server.

Has this been closed with no fix? Will we always have to download DEA and get the working ReadTrace from there? This is very disappointing.
