### startup()

Source: https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition83/8.3.6/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/storeforward/sinks/AbstractSink.html

Starts the data sink. This method transitions the sink's status to STARTED, invokes any specific startup logic defined in subclasses via onStartup(), and handles exceptions by faulting the sink.

```APIDOC
## startup()

### Description
Starts the data sink by transitioning its status to `SinkStatus.STARTED` and invoking any additional startup logic specific to the sink. If the status update to `STARTED` is successful, a log message is generated at the debug level, indicating that the sink is beginning its startup process. The method then calls `onStartup()`, a lifecycle hook that subclasses can implement to define custom startup behavior. This method is thread-safe due to the use of synchronization, ensuring that only one thread can execute the startup sequence at any given time. If any unexpected exceptions are thrown during the startup process (including from `onStartup()`), they will be caught and handled by transitioning the sink to `SinkStatus.FAULTED` state. The exception will be logged and stored as the fault error, leaving the sink in a faulted state rather than an inconsistent state.

### Method
public final void startup()

### Throws
`Exception` - if any exception occurs during the startup process.
```
