Note that when developing a new STAX job, you should look at using the STAX Monitor (if you haven't already). The STAX Monitor makes it easy to debug problems in your STAX job and provides the ability to display the job log and job user log at a click of a button (not that submitting a LOG QUERY request to query a STAX log is hard...).

Hi David
I know why the job fails, in fact I want it to (as an example of handling
such errors). I am meaning to submit the job from a Python script. It
sounds pretty kludgy having to query the log to figure out what went wrong,
isn't there some more direct way to catch the error?

The error is occurring because your function defines a required argument,
but you did not specify the argument on the STAX EXECUTE request. So, if
you get the following:

local WAIT RETURNRESULT
Response

If you execute the job via the STAX Monitor, then you will see the error
in the Messages panel:

And then if you specify the function argument on the STAX EXECUTE

Hello
I am new to STAF/STAX and am trying to implement a job as a STAX
function. First of all, I should like to get error information when the
function call fails. So far I am testing by calling my function without
its required arguments, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to
get at the error.
My STAX job definition is as simple as this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>
<defaultcall function="NoOp"/>
<function name="NoOp">
<function-list-args>
<function-required-arg name="arg1"/>
</function-list-args>
<nop/>
</function>
</stax>
I execute it with the command 'staf local stax EXECUTE FILE
C:/Users/knuarv/STAX/test.xml MACHINE local WAIT RETURNRESULT'. The
following information is then printed:
Response
--------
{
Job ID : 51
Start Date-Time: 20101006-12:41:27
End Date-Time : 20101006-12:41:27
Status : Terminated
Result : org.python.core.pyinsta...@de9738
Testcase Totals: {
Tests : 0
Passes: 0
Fails : 0
}
}
How do I get the error information? I can see that it's failed, given
that the Status is 'Terminated', but I need more detail.
Thanks,
Arve
