You can get a list of internal STAF services (that are provided as part of
the STAF download/install) from "Appendix B: Service Command Reference" in
the STAF User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRCMDREF and a detailed
description of each of these services in section "8.0 Service Reference"
in the STAF User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRSERVICEREF.
We also provide some external STAF services (written in Java) that you can
download separate from STAF itself and then register in the STAF.cfg
file). The external STAF services are listed and described at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/getservices.php. This web page also provides
links to the User Guide for each of these external services.
You can also write a custom STAF service yourself. The STAF Service
Developer's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/getservices.php explains
how to do this.
Yes, you can use STAF to run a python script (or any other command) and
collect logs on the same machine. To do this you just specify "local" for
the machine instead of a remote machine's host name or IP address.
All of the documentation for STAF is available via the STAF/STAX
Documentation web page at http://staf.sourceforge.net/docs.php.
Also, I think you would find it helpful to go through at least Part 1 of
the STAF Education provided at http://staf.sourceforge.net/education.php.
Part1 goes over the basic STAF concepts and how you can leverage using
STAF. The "Leveraging STAF" section also lists and describes all of the
STAF services that are available.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, now i got how can i use STAF. i wen
through the documentation in the official site but i feel its not for
novice . Your explanation really helped me.
Where can i get list of services that STAF supports and some explanation
about these services as how they are useful.
Can i use STAF for running the python script and collecting the logs on
the same machine
thanks a lot

Or, maybe you wanted to log the result from your database select to a file
on another machine. You could use the STAF LOG service and submit the
request within your Python script. For example, you could update your
Python script as follows to do this:
from PySTAF import *
import sys
# Create a STAF handle works to use to submit STAF service requests
try:
handle = STAFHandle("Test1")
except STAFException, e:
print "Error registering with STAF, RC: %d" % e.rc
sys.exit(e.rc)
# Connect to a database on get a phone number for sam
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.Connect("localhost","root","san123","phone")
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM phonebook WHERE Name ='san'")
get_contact = cursor.fetchall()
print get_contact
db.close
# Log the phone number in a log on machine machine1
message = "Phone# for San: %s" % (get_contact)

result = handle.submit("machine1", "LOG", request)
if (result.rc != STAFResult.Ok):
print "Error on STAF machine1 LOG %s" % (request)
print "Expected RC: 0"
print "Received RC: %d, Result: %s" % (result.rc, result.result)
sys.exit(1)
print "\n*** Test successful ***"
# Un-register the STAF handle
result = handle.unregister()
if (result != STAFResult.Ok):
print "Error unregistering with STAF, RC: %d" % result
sys.exit(result)
sys.exit(0)

What is it that you want to do via STAF? It's difficult to answer how you
can use STAF if we don't know what it is that you are trying to accomplish
via test automation.
For example, you could use STAF's PROCESS service to run your Python
script on a different machine (or on many different machines) if you
wanted. For example, perhaps from machine1 you wanted to be able to run
this Python script on machine2. You could use STAF's FS (File System)
service to copy your sample script file from machine1 to machine2 and then
use STAF's PROCESS service to run this script. Here are STAF command line
line examples of how to do this:
STAF machine1 FS COPY FILE "/tmp/test.py" TOFILE /tmp/test.py" TOMACHINE
machine2
STAF machine2 PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "/tmp/test.py" RETURNSTDOUT
STDERROTSTDOUT WAIT
STAF also provides APIs for submitting STAF service requests via Java,
C/C++, Python, Perl, and Tcl or you can use STAX.

Can some one tell me as how can i use STAF in python.
suppose i have script which connects to DB and fetches the data , in this
case how can i use STAF.
below is sample script
import MySQLdb
db=MySQLdb.Connect("localhost","root","san123","phone")
cursor=db.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM phonebook WHERE Name ='san')
get_contact=cursor.fetchall()
print get_contact
db.close()
please let me know how ca i use STAF here, any other simple example for
STAF usage other than the above script is also appreciated.
