The STAX service provides every STAX job its own unique STAF handle. So,
generally speaking, a STAX job does not have to do anything to have a STAF
handle available. This handle is used by the <process> and <stafcmd>
elements to submit requests. This handle is used across all threads in a
STAX job.
So, it seems like you would want to do the following
<stafcmd>
<location>'local'</location>
<service>'var'</service>
<request>'set var <name>=<value>'</request>
</stafcmd
That will set <name> equal to <value> in that handle associated with your
STAX job. Those variables will be used in all subsequent requests
generated by your job, including all <process> and <stafcmd> elements.

Re: [staf-users] Share variables across commands
Let me state my requirements more clearly, I wrote a STAX job that submits
requests to a remote machine, I need subsequent process and stafcmd
elements to use the same handle within a thread.
It is stated here that:
The first thing a process should do is register with STAF to obtain a
handle.
So how can I perform this registration without using the STAFHandle class?
For static handles, it is stated here in the STAF user's guide that:
This command is only valid if submitted to the local machine, not to
remote machines.
So static handles can be created for local machine only, while I need this
for a remote machine.
Thanks

Then you probably just want to first resolve the PROCESS START COMMAND
string, specifying the HANDLE <Handle> on the VAR RESOLVE request. Then
use the result string as the COMMAND you are submitting to the remote
machine.
Or you can use a static handle for both the VAR SET and the PROCESS
START...

Re: [staf-users] Share variables across commands
That's exactly what I'm trying to do: use variables for the calling handle
only (not shared or system variables), but the code you provided doesn't
work, it gives:
Variable resolution failed for string: echo {First} {Second} {Third}
You are trying to resolve a variable that does not exist.
That's what I expected as the VAR Set command has a handle and the PROCESS
Start command has another one, so those variables aren't visible to it.
2008/5/7 David Bender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
It depends on exactly what you are trying to do. You can certainly use
VAR SET to remotely set variables (maybe you can point me to the STAF
documentation where that is not clear).
For example, I can set some variables on a remote system:
$ STAF remotemachine.company.com VAR SET VAR first=1st VAR second=2nd VAR
third=3rd
Response
--------
And then run some STAF requests to the remote machine which reference
those variables:
$ STAF remotemachine.company.com PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "echo {first}
{second} {third}" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : 1st 2nd 3rd
}
]
}
$ STAF remotemachine.company.com PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "echo {first}
{second} {third}" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : 1st 2nd 3rd
}
]
}

[staf-users] Share variables across commands
Hello,
I want to share some variables across some successive staf commands on a
remote machine, do I have to register a static handle? (it is stated that
the VAR Set command is not available for remote machine!). So how can I do
this?
Thanks
