up and running

Working and active

Up and running means operational and functioning properly.

The phrase typically describes systems, machines, or processes that have been started and are now working as intended: We should have the new server up and running by Friday.

It often implies successful completion of setup or recovery from a problem: After the outage, it took three hours to get everything up and running again.
