apstart command

The apstart command starts the system software stack, which includes the system application and platform manager.

Note: When starting the software stack, it might take some time for Cloud Pak for Data and the web console to fully start. During this time, when you view status in ap sw, a WARNING might be displayed for these components. The status shows OK after the startup process finishes.
