Hi,
I'm new to STAF and am building a new environment using dynamically
provisioned virtual machines as test servers and my goal is to maintain a
respool of ready vms to dole out workloads. The vm will start staf on its own
and notify the workload manager according to the test server's staf.cfg:
NOTIFY ONSTART MACHINE staf PRIORITY 3 HANDLE 26
NOTIFY ONSHUTDOWN MACHINE staf HANDLE 26
I see the startup and shutdown messages traverse the network between the nodes
(using a protocol analyzer) and can find them on the workload manager in the
queue for handle 26 with:
staf local QUEUE LIST HANDLE 26
as evidenced by

but I cannot seem to access the messages in the queue with the GET/PEEK
commands.
C:\STAF>staf local QUEUE PEEK PRIORITY 3 HANDLE 26
Error submitting request, RC: 29
C:\STAF>staf local QUEUE GET PRIORITY 3 HANDLE 26
Error submitting request, RC: 29
If I add the WAIT command to the request and restart staf on the worker-bee
messages are added to the queue but don't aren't found by GET/PEEK. This issue
doesn't seem unique to start/stop notices either - I'm able to enter messages
into the queue on the local server and also cannot retrieve those messages with
GET/PEEK. After I get this sorted out, I'd like to move to the event manager
service so that the machine can be added to the respool automatically; but I
thought I'd start out simpler first.
RC 29 indicates to me that there's no element found in the queue, and based on
the output of the LIST command, that doesn't appear to be the case. STAF is at
version 3.3.2 on both hosts.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
