Re: [staf-users] STAX logfile retrieval

[Sharon L. <lu...@us...>]

An easy way to do this is to use the "CLEARLOGS Enabled" parameter when 
registering the STAX service.  This parameter specifies that the STAX Job 
and Job Users logs should be deleted for the job # that is about to be 
executed (e.g. overwritten).  This ensures that only the last job's 
contents are in the STAX job logs.

SERVICE STAX LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE C:\STAF\services\stax\STAX.jar \
             PARMS "CLEARLOGS Enabled"

This allows you then to simply query the log without additional parameters 
and you'll get only the log entries for the last time this job # was run.

However, if you didn't want to clear the STAX job logs, then you could do 
what the STAX Montior does to show only the results from the last STAX 
job.  First, it submits a request to query the STAX Job log requesting 
only the last "Start" record in the STAX Job log (by specifying LEVELMASK 
Start and LAST 1).  Then It unmarshalls the result and retrieves the 
timestamp for this log record (as this will be the timestamp on the STAX 
service machine).  Then it submits another request to query the STAX Job 
log and or STAX Job User log using this timestamp for the FROM option. 

Here's how it looks from the command line:

C:\>STAF stax1 LOG QUERY MACHINE {STAF/Config/MachineNickname} LOGNAME 
STAX_Job_1 LEVELMASK Start LAST 1

[staf-users] STAX logfile retrieval






Hello list,

The framework I currently work in requires me to fetch the logs from a 
STAX 
job after it's completion.
The way it is done now is by noting the time before the job is launched 
and 
using the noted time in the log query (after ...).

However, this causes problems when both systems are not configured in the 
same time zone.

Is there a way to fetch the log from one individual stax job? The job id 
is 
not sufficiant because a restart of stax restarts the numbering.

Thanks,

luksedj
