Hi Everyone,

We have both MDM and DWC containerized platforms with 10.2.3 version. last week I upgrade to 10.2.6 version with following steps

1. load the 10.2.6  images

2. updated the image name in the docker yaml file
3. docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d
4. no errors. went fine
5. docker is up and running 
5. shutdown docker with docker stop <dockername> 
6. When you start the docket with docket start <dockername> getting below errors
7. But when you restart the server and execute again docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d, it's up and running.
8. When you stop/start with docket stop/start <dockername> getting below errors. 

Why it's not working with just start/stop command?
