Re: [staf-users] simple stax script

You can start the STAX Monitor via the command line as described in 
section "Starting the STAX Monitor" in the STAX User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_StartMonitor. 
For example to start the STAX Monitor for a STAX job with job ID 1 that is 
already running,

java -jar STAXMon.jar -job 1

Hi ,
Thanks for the response ,can you please tell me how do i'll call stax 
monitor with command line, i don't want to use the the GUI for my 
automation, my intention is I'll submit a job and will monitor the job in 
backend.


Thanks,

If you want a STAX job's result to be set to a message then you need to 
return that message from the STAX job's main function using the <return> 
element. 
For example: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> 
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd"> 

<stax> 

  <defaultcall function="test"/> 

  <function name="test"> 
    <sequence> 

      <script>command = 'ls /'</script> 

      <!-- Run a command (e.g. "ls /")and return its stdout/stderr --> 
      <process> 
        <location>'local'</location> 
        <command mode="'shell'">command</command> 
        <stderr mode="'stdout'"/> 
        <returnstdout/> 
      </process> 

      <if expr="RC == 0"> 
        <script>lsOutput = 'Output from "%s" command:\n%s' % (command, 
STAXResult[0][1])</script> 
        <else> 
          <script> 
            lsOutput = '"%s" failed with RC=%s, STAFResult=%s, 
STAXResult=%s' % \ 
                       (command, RC, STAFResult, STAXResult) 
          </script> 
        </else> 
      </if> 

      <message log="1">lsOutput</message> 

      <!-- Get the current date-time --> 
      <script> 
        from time import localtime, strftime 
        currentTime = strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", localtime()) 
      </script> 

      <message log="1">'Current date-time: %s' % currentTime</message> 

      <!-- Create a result containing "Hello world", the current 
date-time, and output from "ls /" command --> 
      <script>result = 'Hello world @ %s.\n%s' % (currentTime, 
lsOutput)</script> 

      <!-- Log the result in the STAX Job User Log and send to the STAX 
Monitor messages --> 
      <message log="1">result</message> 

      <!-- Return the result --> 
      <return>result</return> 

    </sequence> 
  </function> 

</stax> 

You can submit a STAX EXECUTE request to run this STAX job and wait for it 
to complete and return its job result as follows: 

# STAF local STAX EXECUTE FILE C:/stax/returnJobResult.xml WAIT 
RETURNRESULT DETAILS 
Response 
-------- 
{ 
  Job ID         : 12 
  Start Date-Time: 20130725-08:02:14 
  End Date-Time  : 20130725-08:02:15 
  Status         : Normal 
  Result         : Hello world @ Thu, 25 Jul 2013 08:02:15. 
Output from "ls /" command: 
Cygwin.bat 
Cygwin.ico 
Thumbs.db 
bin 
cygdrive 
dev 
etc 
home 
lib 
proc 
tmp 
usr 
var 

  Job Log Errors : [] 
  Testcase Totals: { 
    Tests : 0 
    Passes: 0 
    Fails : 0 
  } 
  Testcases      : [] 
}

from a Function" in the STAX User's Guide at

Hi , 
I am a newbie to STAX, wants to use in my automated solution in Linux Env. 

Can any one share me a sample stax script which will return me 
1) hello world message & current date & output of 'ls' (unix command) 

both in STDOUT & in a file. 

I have followed couple of blogs, executed sample stax script aswell, but 
not able to get the result ,  it always comes as 
 Result         : None 


Thanks, 
Bab
