Error if i wrap the command :- stafclient.stafexception: '"SC QUERY Audiosrv"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

[Ganesh Markande]

Hi,

I am getting following error when i wrap the command using STAFUtil.wrap(command).
stafclient.stafexception: '"SC QUERY Audiosrv"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Following request gives me the error :-

STAF local Process START SHELL COMMAND STAFUtil.wrap(command) WAIT RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT"

Command = "SC QUERY <Service-Name>"

If i exclude "STAFUtil.wrap()" then command executes fine.

Following request gives successful results :-

STAF local Process START SHELL COMMAND command WAIT RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT"

Command = "SC QUERY <Service-Name>"

How are you submitting the STAF PROCESS START request? Is this via the STAF command executable from a command prompt or .bat file? If so, there isn't a STAFUtils.wrap() function for the STAF command executable.

Or are you using a <process> element in a STAX job? If so, here's an example of a STAX job that runs fine:

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

<stax>

<defaultcall function="main"/>

<function name="main">

<sequence>

  <script>
    service = 'Audiosrv'
    command = 'SC QUERY %s' % (service)
  </script>

  <process>
    <location>'local'</location>
    <command>command</command>
    <stderr mode="'stdout'"/>
    <returnstdout/>
  </process>

  <message log="1">'Process RC: %s  STAXResult: %s' % (RC, STAXResult)</message>

</sequence>

</function>

</stax>

Or are you submitting the PROCESS START via a Python script? If so, here's an example showing three different ways that work:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66

I am submitting STAF request from JAVA using submit2() method.

[Ganesh Markande]

I am creating a request object

request = stafServiceCommandAction + " SHELL COMMAND " + STAFUtil.wrapData(command.toString().trim()) + " WAIT RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT";

Then submitting it to STAF submit2()

handle.submit2(machineName,stafServiceName,request);

Works fine for me. Here's an example submitting a "SC QUERY Audiosrv" command and using STAFUtil.wrapData around it in a PROCESS START request:

import com.ibm.staf.*;
import java.util.*;

public class ProcessWrapData
{
    // This is the main command line entry point

    public static void main(String [] argv)
    {
        // Register with STAF

        try
        {
            handle = new STAFHandle("Process_WrapData_Test");
        }
        catch (STAFException e)
        {
            System.out.println(
                "Error registering with STAF, RC: " + e.rc);
            System.exit(1);
        }

        // Submit a PROCESS START request using STADUtil.wrapData()
        // to "wrap" the command option value.
        String machineName = "local";
        String stafServiceName = "PROCESS";
        String command = "SC QUERY Audiosrv";

        String request = "START SHELL COMMAND " +
            STAFUtil.wrapData(command) +
            " RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT";

        STAFResult result = handle.submit2(
            machineName, stafServiceName, request);

        if (result.rc != 0)
        {
            System.out.println("Error starting process, RC: " +
                               result.rc + ", Additional Info: " + 
                               result.result);
            System.exit(1);
        }

        STAFMarshallingContext mc = STAFMarshallingContext.unmarshall(
            result.result);

        System.out.println(mc);
    }

    private static STAFHandle handle;
}

Here's its output:
