Starting a container

Overview

When you create a container, it starts up automatically and continues to run until stopped by some event, planned or otherwise. You can manually restart a stopped container.

Procedure

To start a container:

  1. If necessary, in Fabric Explorer, expand the tree of the fabric whose container you want to start.

  2. Select the container and right-click it to open the context menu.

  3. Click Start Container.

    [Tip]Tip

    To check whether Fuse IDE started the container, click Containers in Fabric Explorer, and open the Properties view. You should see something similar to Figure 20, where brokerA was started successfully.
