[HTCondor-users] Not responding to listSpool requests

[lcartwright@xxxxxxx]

Hi,

I've been looking into building a web
front end for our users to use when submitting Condor jobs. I'm talking
to the Condor SOAP interface using Ruby and the Savon SOAP library. I've
got general job management working but have hit a problem with listSpool.
When I make a call to listSpool I get the following output:

I, [2013-01-10T09:56:35.113926 #4440]
 INFO -- : SOAP request: http://localhost:8081/

I decided to test using soapUI to see
if I could figure out what was going wrong. Using soapUI I send the following
request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:urn="urn:condor">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:listSpool>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <transaction>
         </transaction>
         <clusterId>87</clusterId>
         <jobId>0</jobId>
      </urn:listSpool>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Job 87.0 looks like:
-- Submitter: localhost.localdomain
: <192.168.239.133:8081> : localhost.localdomain
 ID      OWNER  
         SUBMITTED     RUN_TIME ST PRI
SIZE CMD               
  87.0   lee    
        1/9  14:52   0+00:01:01 C  0
  17.1 runtest.bash      

The response that soapUI gets is:

Error getting response; org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException:
The target server failed to respond

Which is an odd response when other
SOAP calls are working as expected.

Just to verify my own sanity and to
make sure other calls were working I did a simple get version with soapUI.
The call was:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:urn="urn:condor">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:getVersionString/>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

And the response was:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:condor="urn:condor">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <condor:getVersionStringResponse>
         <response>
           
<status>
           
   <code>SUCCESS</code>
           
</status>
           
<message>$CondorVersion: 7.8.7 Dec 12 2012 BuildID: 86173 $</message>
         </response>
      </condor:getVersionStringResponse>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


So soapUI is definitely working and
able to talk to the Condor SOAP service. Other calls are working within
my ruby script, such as transaction, cluster and job creation, submission,
etc.

Does listSpool behave differently than
the other calls? Could there be something I've missed in my setup? Are
there any logs I should be checking? Up until now the SOAP services have
worked as documented so I haven't had to do much digging.

Thanks,
Lee
