User-defined tracepoints are activated when you set them with the SET TRACE command. Predefined tracepoints are activated by default. Use the ACTIVATE TRACE command to activate one or more tracepoints that you deactivated with DEACTIVATE TRACE. Activating and deactivating tracepoints enables you to run and rerun your program with or without tracepoints without having to cancel and then reset them. By default, the RERUN command saves the current state of all tracepoints (activated or deactivated). You can activate and deactivate user-defined tracepoints or predefined tracepoints or both. To check if a tracepoint is activated, use the SHOW TRACE command. Related commands: CANCEL ALL RERUN (SET,SHOW) EVENT_FACILITY (SET,SHOW,CANCEL,DEACTIVATE) TRACE
