The reason that you are not seeing these external services in the "STAF
local SERVICE LIST" output is because you haven't registered them. The
Event service is an external STAF service written in Java (like the STAX
service), and it must be registered in the STAF.cfg file (just like you
register the STAX service). Note that the STAFEvent.jar file is also
provided in the STAX tar file along with the STAX.jar file. Section
"Installation and Configuration", sub-section "STAX Service Machine" in
the STAX User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_StaxServiceMach
talks about this. So, you need to register both the STAX and Event
services. For example:
SERVICE STAX LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE /usr/local/staf/services/stax/STAX.jar
SERVICE EVENT LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE
/usr/local/staf/services/stax/STAFEvent.jar
The LOG and MONITOR services (as well as the RESPOOL and ZIP services) are
all external STAF services written in C++ and these services are provided
as part of your standard STAF install (not separately downloadable
services like STAX and Event). However, to conserve memory usage, these
services are not loaded into memory until you submit a request to each
service. This capability is provided by the STAF Default Service Loader
Service (STAFDSLS) which is configured automatically in the default
STAF.cfg file as follows:
# Default Service Loader Service for LOG, MONITOR, RESPOOL, and ZIP
services
SERVICELOADER LIBRARY STAFDSLS
For more information on the STAF Default Service Loader Serivce, see
section "4.5 Service Loader Registration" in the STAF User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRSERVICELOADERCFCG for
more
information.
So, for example, when you submit a request to the LOG service, the
STAFDSLS will automatically register the LOG service for you (and will
then show up in the "STAF local SERVICE LIST" output).
If you prefer, you can register these services in the STAF.cfg file
yourself (perhaps because you want to specify some non-default service
parameters).
I hope this answered your questions.

Subject: [staf-users] LOG and EVENT services not starting
I’ve just installed STAF on 3 Fedora 17 machines, and it seems that the
LOG, MONITOR, and EVENT services are not starting. I’m using the default
configuration plus the line:
SERVICE STAX LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE /usr/local/staf/services/STAX/STAX.jar
to start STAX.
On each of the machines. I manually install STAX by copying the files in
STAX353.tar (downloaded from the STAF homepage) to
/usr/local/staf/services/STAX. The output of STAF local SERVICE LIST is:
$ STAF local SERVICE LIST

Running a simple test script with logging seems to work, but I cannot
query the log:
$ STAF local LOG query MACHINENAME <machinename> LOGNAME <logname>
Error submitting request, RC: 2

LOG

I get the same response with any LOG command sent to STAF.
Does anybody have any idea on how to get this working? Thanks.
