BISM MD: Introduction to Evaluation Nodes

This is the first introduction to the concept of evaluation nodes in SQL Server Profiler and what they can tell you about what is going on in the SSAS engine. I would also like to examine where the evaluation nodes show up in the Profiler trace. Evaluation nodes were introduced as events in SQL Server Profiler with the SQL Server 2012 release. They have been part of the engine before that but it is in the SQL Server 2012 edition they were added as Profiler Events.
