The positive effects of a rise of the price of a particular commodity, i.e. a relative price rise, include the re-allocation of resources to increase production of that commodity (unless prevented by e.g. a quota, or unless supply is perfectly inelastic).

The positive effect of a general price rise (i.e. price inflation without a change in price ratios) is supposed to be that, absent economy-wide indexation, it allows a downward adjustment or real prices for goods and services that are sticky downwards in nominal terms. The examples usually given are wages (generally) wages in declining industries, and house prices.

More cynically, one might say that from the point of view of the government the positive effect of a general price rise (even when wages are indexed) is the stealthy increase of tax rates through bracket creep.
