We assume you are not already using Symphony DE.
Symphony provides batch files and the soamswitch command to facilitate the setup of either your current working environment or your global system environment. The environment setup method you choose depends on how you plan to run your client. If you only want to run your client from your current working command prompt window, use the batch files. If you want to run your client from the Windows desktop or you want to change the system environment permanently, use the soamswitch command.
If you want to change your current working environment to connect to a Symphony DE or a Symphony Cluster, run the appropriate batch file:
When you open the Symphony DE command prompt, the environment is automatically set to DE in the window. You can run symclientenv.bat to change the environment to connect to a Symphony cluster from DE. Afterwards, you can run symdeenv.bat to change the environment back so that you can connect to a DE cluster.
