You'll want to use STAF's PROCESS service, its START request, to run your
Winrunner scripts on remote machines. So, I recommend that you read
section "8.12 Process Service", particularly subsection "8.12.2 Start" in
the STAF User's Guide at
"http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRPROCSRV.
You first need to determine the command that you would run from a command
prompt (without STAF) to run your Winrunner script locally on your machine
(without user interaction). Once you know what command you need to run
and have tested that out, you can use the STAF PROCESS START request to
run that command locally or on a remote machine that's also running STAF
and has given STAF trust level 5 to the machine submitting the PROCESS
START request. You'll probably want to first submit the PROCESS START
request via the command line using the STAF executable. For example:
C:\>STAF machine PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "Your winrunner command"
RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
There are additional options for a PROCESS START request you may want to
use such as WORKDIR (if you the command to be run with a particular
working directory). Remember that the command is being run in the
environment in which STAFProc was started on the remote machine you
specify. If you need any additional environment variables set, you can
use the ENV option(s) on your PROCESS START request.
Once you have the PROCESS START request working using the STAF executable
from a command prompt, you can submit the PROCESS START request via a
program (e.g. Java, C++, Perl, Python, Tcl, or a STAX job) if you'd like.
Note that if you want to copy your Winrunner script to your remote
machine, you can use the STAF FS (File System) service's COPY request to
do this before submitting the PROCESS START reuqest.

[staf-users] STAF support with Winrunner
Hi Folks,
We have a set of 6 machines which need to be intergrated in a framework
for running regression we use Winrunner as the automation tool for our
testing. Could you experts please provide tips as to how to launch
Winrunner scripts in remote machines using STAF. I have installed STAF in
all machines, and this is the first time we are using it. Though the user
guide speaks about this, but it would be greatly time saving if you people
could pin point us to the correct procedure.
Looking forward to interacting with you folks a lot more.
Thanks,
Vinay
