start-ds command

The start-ds command starts an Endeca data store.

The Endeca data store to be started must be attached and must be stopped.

The syntax for the start-ds command is: 
endeca-cmd start-db <datastore-name> [global-options]
where datastore-name is the name of an attached data store that is stopped.

The data store's Dgraph process is started on the ports set by the --ws-port and/or --bulk-load-port flags (of the start-ds or attach-ds command) or by the Endeca Server. The process is also started with the Dgraph flags that were specified with the --args flag of the create-ds or attach-ds command.

start-ds errors

If datastore-name is already started, the Endeca Server returns this error message: 
Cannot perform this operation while the data store is STARTED
If datastore-name is detached or does not exist, the Endeca Server returns an error message similar to this example: 
Could not find the Endeca data store 'bookes'
