As defined in the STAX User's Guide, a "LIST JOB <JobID> STAFCMDS" request
submitted to the STAX service returns a list of any STAF commands that are
currently running in a STAX job. By "currently running", it means that
the STAF service request has been submitted and the request hasn't
completed yet. Please see the STAX User's Guide for a complete
description of every request that can be submitted to the STAX service.
A "LIST JOB <JobID> STAFCMDS" request will list more than one STAF command
if more then one STAF command (submitted via a <stafcmd> element) is
currently running. This would be the case if a STAX job is running
<stafcmd> elements in parallel via the <parallel> and/or <paralleliterate>
elements. It shows the actual STAF service requests that were submitted
(e.g. after Python evaluation has been done) and are still currently
running. For example, the output from a STAX LIST STAFCMDS request if
these staf service commands are running in parallel within a STAX job:
Stafcmd Name Location Request# Service Request
------------- -------- -------- -------
----------------------------------------------------
Delay 30 secs server1 343 DELAY DELAY 30000
List services server2 349 SERVICE LIST SERVICES
Delay 60 secs machineC 351 DELAY DELAY 60000
STAFCommand24 machineA 355 FS COPY FILE /tests/TestA.out TOFILE
/results/TestA.out
STAFCommand25 machineB 357 FS COPY FILE /tests/TestA.out TOFILE
/results/TestA.out
You appear to be asking for a list of all STAF commands that may be run
within a STAX job which isn't possible. The STAX service doesn't know
which <stafcmd> elements will actually be run by a STAX job until the
<stafcmd> element is actually run (during runtime). That is, a <stafcmd>
element may only run if certain conditions occur, etc. due to <if>
elements, etc.. Your STAX job may be simply run some STAF commands
serially (e.g. a <sequence> element that contains some <stafcmd>
elements), but STAX jobs can be much more complex than that. Certain
<stafcmd> elements may only be run conditionally and/or <stafcmd> elements
may be run within a <paralleliterate> based on a list of machines, or
<stafcmd> elements may be run within a <loop>, etc. Also, note that the
actual STAF service request that is submitted isn't known until the
<stafcmd> begins execution and evaluates any Python code within the
location, service, and request sub-element values.

[staf-users] Can't output all the commands for a job
Hi,
I'd like to be able to get a list of all the commands to be run for a
job. At the moment when I run 'staf local stax list job [jobnumber]
stafcmds', I will only get the current command.
If the job is a Pending Request, running 'staf local stax list job
[jobnumber] stafcmds' yields...
Stafcmd Name Location Request# Service Request
------------ -------- -------- ------- ------------------------
STAFCommand1 local [requestnumber] respool request pool [machinename]
If the job is at the end of the queue (it is currently running),
running 'staf local stax list job [jobnumber] stafcmds' yields...
Stafcmd Name Location Request# Service Request
------------ -------- -------- -------
----------------------------------------
STAFCommand2 [machinename] [requestnumber] process START COMMAND
[the actual command we want to run when it gets to the end of the
queue]
Where as what I would like to be able to output is when a job is a
Pending Request is...
Stafcmd Name Location Request# Service Request
------------ -------- -------- ------- ------------------------
STAFCommand1 local [requestnumber] respool request pool [machinename]
STAFCommand2 [machinename] [requestnumber] process START COMMAND
[the actual command we want to run when it gets to the end of the
queue]
Am I running the wrong command to output this information (it's all in
the xml file for stax to read.. but the parameter 'stafcmds' suggested
to me that it'd retrieve all of the commands related to the job so I'm
a bit confused.
I am running version 3.1.1 of stax and version 3.1.2 of staf,
Any help on this matter would be gratefully received,
Many thanks,
Chris
