>

<program>
is the name of the path and executable required to start the program.Remarks
This command is run locally on the HMI server,
FactoryTalk View SE
Client, or FactoryTalk View Studio
that issued it.When you start a program using AppStart,
it is opened behind the main FactoryTalk View window. This is a result of certain operating system rules. You can either manually give focus to the program or you can work around this programmatically. For information on the workaround, see Knowledgebase Document ID: BF15995 - Use Windows to Move External Application Window to Foreground.
The
AppStart

.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to running the AppStart command to launch any external program, please verify and ensure the external program is safe and trusted.
