Syms function undefined on parallel pool workers when compiling standalone application

I am trying to run a simulation where I am symbolically generating a set of functions to test during each iteration. I am running several simulations at a time with parfor and it works great on my machine. I am now trying to compile this code to a standalone application to run on AWS since I need more compute power. However when I test the code on my local machine after it compiles I get this error:

'An UndefinedFunction error was thrown on the workers for 'syms'. This might be because the file containing 'syms' is not accessible on the workers. Use addAttachedFiles(pool, files) to specify the required files to be attached. See the documentation for 'parallel.Pool/addAttachedFiles' for more details.'

I don't think I should need to add the symbolic toolbox to the parallel pool... Does anybody know what might be causing this error and how to fix it? Thanks!

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

Nothing from the symbolic toolbox can be compiled.

[Steven Lord]

Walter is correct. Symbolic Math Toolbox is not listed in the table showing which products are supported for use with MATLAB Compiler and so will not work with the MATLAB Compiler.

[Alex Baucom]

Ahh. I must have missed that somehow. Thanks!
