Start Symphony DE

Windows

The Windows global environment is already set to the Symphony DE environment.

On Windows, you have the option to start Symphony DE automatically from the installer.

If you installed with Windows administrator permissions, Symphony DE always starts automatically when the host is restarted.

If you installed without Windows administrator permissions, Symphony DE and workload will stop as soon as you log off.

To start Symphony DE manually, perform the following steps.

  1. Right-click on the Symphony DE icon in the system tray and start the cluster. The icon turns green after Symphony DE is started.

    You can also start cluster using the Windows command prompt by entering:

    soamstartup

    You should see the following message:

    Successfully started Symphony Developer Edition processes on the local host...

    If you do not see the startup message above, use the troubleshooting information to resolve the problem.

    Note:

    If you installed Symphony DE with a local administrator account, you can start or stop Symphony DE processes on the local host. Right-click on the Symphony DE icon that looks like a series of monitors in the system tray to display menu. A green color indicates that the Symphony DE processes are running locally on the host. A blue color indicates that the Symphony DE processes are not started on the host.

  2. To ensure Symphony DE has started, use the soamview app command.

    soamview app

    You should be able to see that the application called symping4.1 is enabled.

  3. Right-click the Symphony DE icon in the system tray and select Platform Management Console to view or control the Symphony DE workload. Alternatively, you can run the following command to get the URL for the Platform Management Console:

    start_agent -u

Linux/UNIX

On Linux/UNIX, you must start Symphony DE manually after installation and every time the host restarts.

  1. Go to the conf directory under the directory in which you have installed Symphony DE.

    For example, if you installed Symphony DE in /opt/symphonyDE/DE41, go to /opt/symphonyDE/DE41/conf.

  2. Set the environment
    • For csh, enter

      source cshrc.soam

    • For bash, enter

      . profile.soam

  3. To start Symphony DE, use the soamstartup command.

    For example:

    soamstartup &

    You should see the following message:

    Successfully started Symphony Developer Edition processes on the local host...

    If you do not see the startup message above, use the troubleshooting information to resolve the problem.

  4. To ensure Symphony DE has started, use the soamview app command.

    soamview app

    You should be able to see that the application called symping4.1 is enabled.

  5. Check that the Symphony processes sd, rs, and start_agent are running.
    ps -ef|grep sd
    ps -ef|grep rs
    ps -ef|grep start_agent

    If you do not see the Symphony DE processes, use the troubleshooting information to resolve the problem.

  6. On Linux, navigate to the Platform Management Console to view or control the Symphony DE workload. The location is http:/host_name:18080/platform. To get the URL for the WEBGUI service, run:

    start_agent -u
