meet 'Error on determining the SDK Service build. RC:2, Result: VTAF_Host'

[Wei Wang]

In my VASA test on workbench3.5.7 I encountered an error 'Error on determining the SDK Service build, RC:2, Result: VTAF_Host'. Please see the full logs of the failed test below. I checked the 'RC:2, Result: VTAF_Host' via STAF help and found this means VTAF_Host service was not found. However I can see the Workbench vTAF Framwork has been installed on Workbench. In additionally in the Installed Package board in Workbench I found the hint 'VMware-vTAF-vasa-cert60 is not installed'. I'm not sure this hint is related to this error. The following is the full log for the failed test. Did anyone meet the same issue? Thanks!

You showed the log from some custom code you are running that uses STAF. Since it is custom code, I don't know what it is doing.

If you have a custom STAF service named VTAF_Host and you are trying to submit a request to it and the VTAF_Host service is not registered, then STAF will return RC 2 (Unknown service) as follows:

C:\>STAF local VTAF_Host DOTHIS
Error submitting request, RC: 2 
Additional info
---------------
VTAF_Host

The help for STAF error code 2 is:

C:\>STAF local HELP ERROR 2
Response
--------
Description: Unknown service
Details    : You have tried to submit a request to a service that is unknown to
STAFProc.  Verify that you have correctly registered the service.

You can try to query the VTAF_Host service. If the VTAF_Host service is not registered on that system, then STAF will return error code 48 (Does Not Exist) as follows:

C:>STAF local SERVICE QUERY SERVICE VTAF_Host
Error submitting request, RC: 48
Additional info
---------------
VTAF_Host

You can list the STAF services that are registered on the local system as follows. The services with Library "JSTAF" are external Java services that I've registered on my system either via "service" registration lines in its STAF.cfg file or that have been registered via a STAF SERVICE ADD request.
