Subject: RE: [staf-users] Machine sending the STAF command
Oh, your test machines (e.g. machine1) is specifying option "MACHINE
1722W7.Fekete.com" on the STAX EXECUTE request to indicate that the xml file to
be executed resides on the STAX service machine (instead of on the machine that
is submitting the STAX EXECUTE request) so that explains why the STAX service
log Start entries show "Machine: 1722W7.Fekete.com" instead of the host name of
machine1 because the "Machine:" value in the logged Start message is the
machine where the xml file to be executed resides.
Information about the machine that originated this request is not logged in the
STAX service log, or anywhere else. It is provided to the STAX job in variable
STAXJobSourceMachine as I explained previously so you could have your STAX
jobs log this in the STAX Job User Log for each job (or log it whereever you
liked). But, this data is not currently logged by the STAX service. You could
request a new feature to have the STAX service log information about the
machine that submitted each STAX EXECUTE request via
http://staf.sourceforge.net<http://staf.sourceforge.net/> by selecting
"Request New Feature" from the navigation panel on the left.
STAF has access to what machine originated each request so you can enable STAF
tracing to log trace information about STAX service requests. For example, you
could enable STAF tracing as follows on your STAX service machine (e.g.
1722W7.Fekete.com):
STAF local TRACE DISABLE ALL SERVICES
STAF local TRACE ENABLE SERVICE STAX
STAF local TRACE ENABLE TRACEPOINTS "ServiceRequest RemoteRequests"
STAF local TRACE SET DESTINATION TO FILE C:\temp\stafproc.trc
Or tracing could be set within the STAF.cfg file using TRACE configuration
lines instead of dynamically using the TRACE service.
Then the STAF trace file (e.g. C:\temp\stafproc.trc or whatever you set the
trace file name to in the above command) will contain information about every
STAX service request submitted (not just EXECUTE requests submitted to the STAX
service but all requests submitted to the STAX service). For example, if
machine machine1.Fekete.com submitted a STAX EXECUTE request to your STAX
service machine, a trace message would be written to the STAF trace file such
as the following where the value for the "Client:" would contain the machine
that originated the request.
C:\>type C:\temp\stafproc.trc
20140107-12:09:45;16116;00000001;STAX Service Request - Client: ssl://machine1.F
ekete.com@6550<mailto:ekete.com@6550>, Handle: 1216, Process: STAF/Client,
Request: EXECUTE FILE D:\Dis
tributedTesting\SilkTestDistribution\RunFromMediaFolder_Harmony.xml MACHINE 1722
W7.Fekete.com JOBNAME HarmonyRegressionTestMediaFolder FUNCTION main ARGS ['Harm
ony', '%runVersion%'] SCRIPT PRODUCT='Harmony' SCRIPT VERSION='0.0.0.0' SCRIPT B
UILD='MainBuild' SCRIPT BRANCHVER='Main' SCRIPT TESTHOST=1722W7.Fekete.com' CLEA
RLOGS ENABLED
However, note that trace information for every request submitted to the STAX
service will be logged, not just trace information for STAX EXECUTE requests.
Also, no information about the STAX Job ID is logged because the job has not
begun execution yet so a STAX Job ID has not been created yet.

Hi Sharon,
Attached is the architecture of our company’s automation system. Machine 1a and
Machine 1b will send the requests to start the STAX jobs on Machine 3a and
Machine 3b.
I tried the query you suggested and the query always returned this “Machine:
1722W7.Fekete.com”, which was not what I wanted.
What I really need is to know what machine (Machine 1a or Machine 1b) sends
that STAF command to start the STAX job.
Thank you very much.

Hi Cindy,
This information is provided in the STAX Service Log (which is STAF log file --
e.g. written by the STAF LOG service). See section "Listing/Querying STAX
Service Log" in the STAX User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Listing/Querying%20STAX%20Service%20Logs
for more information about querying the STAX service log. It describes this
log as follows:
STAX service log - This log contains messages generated by the STAX Service for
all jobs. This log contains a start and stop message for each STAX Job. The job
start message includes additional information about the job such as job ID, XML
file name, machine name, starting function, job name, and arguments passed to
the starting function.
For example, to query a STAX service log on your local STAX service machine and
just show the "Start" level messages logged since the last time STAFProc was
started on the STAX service machine, you could use the following STAF LOG QUERY
request (assuming STAX is the registered name for the STAX service):
C:\>STAF local LOG QUERY MACHINE {STAF/Config/MachineNickname} LOGNAME
STAX_Service LEVELMASK Start FROM {STAF/Config/StartupTime}
Response
--------
Date-Time Level Message
----------------- ----- -------------------------------------------------------
20140106-16:21:34 Start JobID: 1, File: c:/stax/delay.xml, Machine: local://loc
al, Function: , Args: , JobName: Delay Test
20140106-16:21:57 Start JobID: 2, File: C:/stax/prodTest.xml, Machine: tcp://cl
ient1.company.com@6500<mailto:ient1.company.com@6500>,
Function: , Args: , JobName: <N
/A>
20140106-16:24:01 Start JobID: 3, File: C:/stax/prodTest.xml, Machine: tcp://cl
ient2.company.com@6500<mailto:ient2.company.com@6500>,
Function: , Args: , JobName: <N
/A>
So you could parse each "Start" message to obtain the endpoint of the machine
that submitted the STAX EXECUTE request (e.g. the value between "Machine: " and
"," in the message).

Hi Sharon,
I guess what I want to know is where is the STAF log file to find out
information (e.g. what machines send requests), not a STAX job to log the
information.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks,
Cindy

Subject: Re: [staf-users] Machine sending the STAF command
So you want a STAX job to be able to determine the machine that submitted a
STAX EXECUTE request? This is provided in a STAX Python variable named
STAXJobSourceMachine (contains the endpoint of the machine submitting the
EXECUTE request).
Note that section "STAX Variables" in the STAX User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_StaxVariables
describes the variables (such as STAXJobSourceMachine) that are set in Python
during Job Execution by the STAX service and that can be referenced by your
STAX job.
For example, if you wanted your STAX job to log this information:
<log message="1">
'Machine endpoint that submitted the STAX EXECUTE request is: %s' %
(STAXJobSourceMachine)
</log>

Hi,
I have multiple machines send STAF command to one testing machine to launch
STAX jobs.
How can I find out the machine name that sent the STAF command?
Thanks,
Cindy
