It is most likely a firewall or BSO problem, where the firewall is not
allowing communication via the TCPIP port that STAF is using (the default
port is 6550).

Re: [staf-users] STAX process jobs never ends
Hi David,
I encountered the same problem.
I have two machines installed STAF, one in the lab, say
qb04.cn.ibm.com(AIX), and the other in the office, say
mydesktop.cn.ibm.com(WindowXP). mydesktop.cn.ibm.com has also with
STAX installed. I can run STAF qb04.cn.ibm.com PING PING successfully
from mydesktop.cn.ibm.com, but failed from qb04.cn.ibm.com because
mydesktop.cn.ibm.com not in our lab's DNS server. Since I can get
mydesktop.cn.ibm.com added to the lab's DNS server, I tried to add an
entry to /etc/hosts on qb04.cn.ibm.com. After that I can ping
mydesktop.cn.ibm.com from qb04.cn.ibm.com using command 'ping
mydesktop.cn.ibm.com', but still failed to run STAF
mydesktop.cn.ibm.com PING PING which should be reason why my jobs
never end according to your explanation, the error message is:
Error submitting request, RC: 16
Additional info
---------------
STAFConnectionProviderConnect: Timed out connecting to endpoint:
select() timeout: 22, Endpoint: ssl://mydesktop.cn.ibm.com
I want to know, why this happened since I already can ping the target
machine using command? How can I solve this? Thanks!
