Changing your current working environment

When you open the IBM® Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition command prompt, the environment is automatically set to IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition in the window. You can change your current working environment.

Procedure

On Linux®, you can change the environment to connect to an IBM Spectrum Symphony cluster from IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition using the symclient or client profile. Afterward, you can use the soam or platform profile to change the environment back so that you can connect to an IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition cluster:
1. Configure the cluster's entry point in the ego.conf file:
  1. Specify the primary candidate host list:
```
EGO_MASTER_LIST="primary_host primary_candidate_host"
```
  2. Specify the vemkd daemon port number:
    For example:
    EGO_KD_PORT=7870
2. Complete one of the following steps, depending on your workload type:
  - For IBM Spectrum Symphony workload alone, go to the installed IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition path and set the environment using the following commands:
    - To connect to the IBM Spectrum Symphony cluster:
      
      (csh) source conf/cshrc.symclient
      
      (bash) . conf/profile.symclient
    - To connect to the IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition cluster:
      
      (csh) source cconf/shrc.soam
      
      (bash) . conf/profile.soam
  - For IBM Spectrum Symphony and MapReduce workload, go to the installed IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition path and set the environment using the following commands:
    - To connect to the IBM Spectrum Symphony cluster:
      
      (csh) source cshrc.client
      
      (bash) . profile.client
    - To connect to the IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition cluster:
      
      (csh) source cshrc.platform
      
      (bash) . profile.platform
On Windows, you can change your current working environment to connect to an IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition cluster or an IBM Spectrum Symphony cluster by running the symclientenv.bat file to change the environment to connect to an IBM Spectrum Symphony cluster from IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition. Afterward, you can run symdeenv.bat to change the environment back so that you can connect to an IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition cluster:
1. Configure the cluster's entry point in the ego.conf file:
  1. Specify the primary candidate host list:
```
EGO_MASTER_LIST="primary_host primary_candidate_host"
```
  2. Specify the vemkd daemon port number:
    For example:
    EGO_KD_PORT=7870
2. Run the appropriate batch file from the Start > Programs > IBM Corporation > Symphony Developer Edition 7.3.1 > Symphony DE 7.3.1 Command Prompt:
  - Run symclientenv.bat to reset your current command prompt session to connect to the IBM Spectrum Symphony cluster.
  - Run symdeenv.bat to reset your current command prompt session to connect to the IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition cluster.
