This is most likely a network issue, where the machine where the process is executing can't communicate with the STAX service machine to inform it that the process has completed. On the target machine, try running "STAF <stax-machine> PING PING". If it fails with an RC 16, then see section 3.1.4 "Why can't my STAF machines communicate?" in the STAF FAQ: http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFFAQ.htm

Subject: [staf-users] STAX fails to receive response from a finished
process command.
Hello everyone!
About two weeks ago, our STAX script stopped working. It seems it executed
the command correctly, but could not be able to receive the response from
the target machine. So even after the command is executed on the target
machine, STAX still thinks it is still launching hangs there. I made a
simple script to try it out but with no luck.
test.xml

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

</if>
</sequence>
</testcase>
</function>
</stax>
>From STAX monitor I could see STAX stopped at this testcase and hanged
there while the VM was already powered on.
I tried reinstalled STAF, STAX and JRE on both machines but it still didn't
work. Could anyone please tell me what might be wrong? Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Zhe Li
