Updating environment variables

After you install OpenSwitch, you may need to update the environment variables. OpenSwitch provides a batch file for this. These files are created at the end of the installation process under the root installation directory.

Go to the %SYBASE% directory, open a Command Prompt window, and enter:

.\SYBASE.bat

To run the coordination module sample in %OPENSWITCH%\sample, verify that %OPENSWITCH%\lib and %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\dll are included in your PATH variable.

Table 4-1 describes the environment variables included in SYBASE.bat and SYBASE.env files.
