How can we identify a particular search using lookup or lookup definition?

in the case where a lookup file is enabled and lookup definition is disabled for the same lookup, what would happen?

Will the search which is using a lookup generate the results successfully?

If a lookup definition is disabled then any search using that definition will fail.
A search using the underlying lookup file will be successful.

If the argument to the inputlookup or lookup command uses a filename extension like .csv, then it's a lookup file; otherwise, it's a lookup definition. Also, you can compare the lookup name to those in your list of lookup definitions.
