You are not specifying the PROCESS START request properly. It is PARMS not
PARAMS and since the parms contains a space, you must either enclose the
parms value in double quotes or use the ColonLengthColon format which you
can do by using the STAF::WrapData function as talked about in section
"7.2 Option Value Formats" in the STAF User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDROVFORM. Better yet,
when you specify the SHELL option you can specify the command and
parameters in the command value. Also, since you're submitting the
request synchronously by specifying the kReqSync option using the submit2
method, you might as well use the submit API instead as it is equivalent.
Here's an example (note this example is very similar to an example in the
STAF Perl User's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFPerl.htm
.
# Register with STAF and get a STAF handle
$handle = STAF::STAFHandle->new("MyProcessTest");
if ($handle->{rc} != $STAF::kOk) {
print "Error registering with STAF, RC: $handle->{rc}\n";
exit $handle->{rc};
}
# Submit a PROCESS START request and wait for it to complete
my $machine = "local";
my $command = "/bin/rpm -q AvmarClient";
my $request = "START SHELL COMMAND ".STAF::WrapData($command).
" RETURNSTDOUT RETURNSTDERR WAIT";
print "\nSTAF $machine PROCESS $request\n";
my $result = $handle->submit($machine, "PROCESS", $request);
if ($result->{rc} != $STAF::kOk) {
print "Error on STAF $machine PROCESS $request\n";
print "Expected RC: 0\n";
print "Received RC: $result->{rc}, Result: $result->{result}\n";
exit $result->{rc};
}

Subject: [staf-users] How to pass prams to process request using
submit2
Hi,
I am automating the linux and AIX package installation process.
Using Perl API I am using the following command:
$cmdResult = $fHandle->submit2($STAF::STAFHandle::kReqSync,"$machineName",
"process", "start command /bin/rpm params -q AvmarClient returnstdout
returnstderr wait");
But it fails with error:
Invalid command: /bin/rpm -q AvamarClient-6.0.100-580
The command is not a file or does not have execute permissions.
OS RC 2
But same thing if I am executing:
staf local process start command /bin/rpm parms "-q AvamarClient"
returnstdout retrunstderr wait
it works fine. I would like to know how could we pass the parms option
using submit2 call.
Regards
Sanjeev
