Hi Tennis, Yes, you can do this if you submit this STAF service request via a program using a STAF API for Java, C/C++, Python, Perl, or Tcl instead of using the STAF command line executable which just returns a string containing the result because then you can access the individual fields (such as jobID and status) in the unmarshalled result object directly. For examples, see the following documents accessible via the STAF Documentation web page at http://staf.sourceforge.net/docs.php for the programming language of your choice: - STAFJava User's Guide - This document describes STAF's V3 support for the Java language. It includes information on the core STAF Java APIs. - STAF Python User's Guide - This document describes STAF's V3 support for the Python language. It includes information on the core STAF Python APIs. - STAF Perl User's Guide - This document describes STAF's V3 support for the Perl language. It includes information on the core STAF Perl APIs. - STAF Tcl User's Guide - This document describes STAF's V3 support for the Tcl language. It includes information on the core STAF Tcl APIs. - STAF User's Guide sections "6.2 C" and "6.3 C++" - These sections document STAF's support for C/C++.
The STAX Users's Guide describes the result format returned by a STAX "EXECUTE FILE <FileName> WAIT RETURNRESULT" request in section "EXECUTE", sub-section "Results" at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_Execute. See where it talks about when this request is successful and the WAIT option and RETURNRESULT option are specified (but not the DETAILS option) and says the result will contain a marshalled <Map:STAF/Service/STAX/JobResult> representing the job result and it defines this map and its fields (including "jobID" and "status"). For example, here's a Java program that submits an "EXECUTE FILE <FileName> WAIT RETURNRESULT" request to the STAX service on the local machine and accesses the fields named "jobID" and "status" in the result: import com.ibm.staf.*; import java.util.Map; public class RunSTAXJob { public static void main (String[] args) { new RunSTAXJob(); } public RunSTAXJob() { STAFHandle stafHandle = null; try { stafHandle = new STAFHandle("MyTest"); String machine = "local"; String service = "STAX"; String xmlFileName = "C:/stax/test1.xml"; // XXX: Change this to your STAX xml job name STAFResult result = null; // You should use helper method STAFUtil.wrapData() for any values // that may contain spaces String request = "EXECUTE FILE " + STAFUtil.wrapData(xmlFileName) + " WAIT RETURNRESULT"; result = stafHandle.submit2(machine, service, request); if (result.rc != STAFResult.Ok) { System.out.println( "Error submitting request STAF " + machine + " " + service + " " + request + "\nRC: " + result.rc + " Result: " + result.result); System.exit(1); } // Pretty print the result (if desired) System.out.println(result.resultContext); // The result from the STAX EXECUTE WAIT RETURNRESULT is a // marshalled map. Access the data from the map (e.g. jobID, // status, result) in the root object of the result. Map jobResultMap = (Map)result.resultObj; String jobID = (String)jobResultMap.get("jobID"); String jobStatus = (String)jobResultMap.get("status"); if (!jobStatus.equals("Normal")) { System.out.println( "STAX Job ID " + jobID + " failed with a " + jobStatus + " status."); System.exit(1); } String jobResult = (String)jobResultMap.get("result"); System.out.println( "STAX Job ID " + jobID + " completed successfully returning: " + jobResult); stafHandle.unRegister(); } catch (STAFException e) { System.out.println("STAFException creating handle: " + e.getMessage()); } } } -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 From: Tennis Smith <tennis_sm...@yahoo.com> To: staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net, Date: 12/26/2012 09:26 PM Subject: [staf-users] Getting Key/Values From Results Data Hi, I'm confused about the best way to access the contents of results when I run a stax job. For example, when this is the output: { Job ID : 3 Start Date-Time: 20101028-14:35:01 Stop Date-Time : 20101028-14:39:19 Status : Normal Job Log Errors : [] Result : None Testcase Totals: { Tests : 1 Passes: 1 Fails : 0 } } How can i get the value for "Job ID" without grep or some other utility? Is there a "native" way to access the jobid key/value pairs? Hope this makes sense. -- Tks, -Tennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
