User-defined tracepoints are activated when you set them with
the SET TRACE command. Predefined tracepoints are activated by
default. Use the DEACTIVATE TRACE command to deactivate one or
more tracepoints.
If you deactivate a tracepoint, the debugger ignores the
tracepoint during program execution. To activate a deactivated
tracepoint, use the ACTIVATE TRACE command. You can activate and
deactivate user-defined and predefined tracepoints separately.
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).
To check if a tracepoint is deactivated, use the SHOW TRACE
command.
