Informix Error -16365

-16365 Breakpoint or tracepoint name is already active.

The ENABLE command has no effect on breakpoints or tracepoints that are already enabled. Check that you entered the name or reference number that you intended. If you did, and you still feel that name should have been inactive, use list break trace or search the command buffer to see if a previous DISABLE command deactivated the wrong breakpoint or tracepoint.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-16365 fires when ENABLE targets a breakpoint/tracepoint that's already enabled — per the official guidance.

  1. ENABLE targeting an already-enabled breakpoint/tracepoint, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Check that the intended name or reference number was entered, per the official guidance.
  2. Use list break trace, or search the command buffer, to check whether a previous DISABLE deactivated the wrong reference point, per the official guidance, if the name was expected to be inactive.
Examples
Listing current breakpoints/tracepoints
> list break trace
Diagnostic Checks
  1. Run list break trace and confirm which reference points are actually enabled.
