Well, you could simply get the timestamp yourself when a result is 
returned from submitting a STAF service request (e.g. if you're submitting 
the STAF service request via a program).

Or, you can turn on STAF tracing for trace points to log this information 
in the STAFProc trace log (which you can redirect to a file).  For 
example, you can enable one or more of the following tracepoints:
- ServiceRequest:  The trace point which causes a trace message to be 
generated for every incoming service request before it is processed by the 
service.
- ServiceResult:  The trace point which causes a trace message to be 
generated for every incoming service request after it is processed by the 
service.  Note that the trace message will include the return code and 
result for the service request.  This tracepoint overrides the 
ServiceComplete, ServiceError, and ServiceAccessDenied tracepoints.
- RemoteRequests:  The trace point which enables trace messages to be 
generated for requests destined for other machines.

Normally STAF tracing is used when you're debugging a problem.  See 
section "8.18 Trace Service" for more information on tracing.

Or, if you are interested just in when a process started via the STAF 
PROCESS service's START request completes, when you submit the PROCESS 
START request without the WAIT option (e.g. submit it asynchronously), you 
can specify the NOTIFY ONEND option so that a STAF/Process/End message 
will be sent to the specified handle's queue and this message includes the 
endTimestamp for the process. 

Or if you're simply trying to see how long submitting a STAF request 
takes, we provide a STAFLoop executable that calculates the average time a 
request takes.  For example:

C:\>STAFLoop
Usage: STAFLoop <# loops> <Where> <Service> <Request>

C:\>STAFLoop 10 local PING PING
Total loops: 10
Total time : 0.030
Avg. time  : 0.003
Loops/sec  : 333.333

Since I don't know why you want to do this, I'm not sure if one of these 
methods will do what you want.

Re: [staf-users] Is there anyway for STAF to get timestamp of events from 
remote system







Thanks Sharon for the quick follow up for more clarity:
 
Bascially, when "x staf system" sends a command to "y staf system 
(remotely), is there a way to get the command output timestamp from "y 
staf system" back to x staf system for logging?
 
Thanks again,
JB

I don't really understand what you're asking.  Can you please provide more 
ifnromation on what you're trying to do.

Hello, 
 
I"m trying to get log timestamp remote events from the remote system using 
STAF, is there a way to accomplish this? 
 
Thanks, 
JB
