If possible, run the long running process in a testing/performance environment where there are not several other processes running at the same time.

Open Tools | Tracing cockpit.  Mark the Bind parameters checkbox and accept the Default values for the rest of the parameters as follows:

Click on Start trace and save the trace file to read, C:tempprocessnametrace.etl.

Run the process with the performance problem.

Now, in the Tracing Cockpit form, click on Stop Trace:

Open the SQL tab page.  The query should be displayed here.  If there are too many records, apply the filter by typing the table name into the Name Filter field, and by marking the Show Tables checkbox to find your query:
