Hi,
I'm trying to run a command-line utility exe using the <process> element
in STAX. When I try to run the command-line utility from inside a STAX
job, the job just hangs and never finishes.
This is how I'm trying to run the utility in the STAX job:
<process>
<location>'local'</location>
<command mode="'shell'" >'"C:\Program Files\my company\my product
name\command_util.exe"'</command>
<parms>' -w -c '</parms>
<workdir>'C:\Program Files\my company\my product name'</workdir>
<stderr mode="'stdout'"/>
<returnstdout/>
</process>
To troubleshoot, I tried running this from a command prompt with the
STAF command and found that this command runs successfully:
C:\> staf local process start shell command "\"C:\program files\my
company\my product name\command_util.exe\"" parms " -wait:120 -command
get roamer.RoamingMode" wait stderrtostdout returnstdout
The crucial item seems to be the 'wait' option just before
'stderrtostdout'. If I remove this 'wait' option the command doesn't
run successfully.
So my question is, how do I include the 'wait' logic in the STAX job?
In reading the STAX Users Guide, it says that the specific 'wait' option
is not allowed in a STAX <process> element.
Does anyone know what the 'wait' option does? or how to run something in
STAX without it?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom Daggett
