JAMS overview

What is JAMS?

JAMS is an automation orchestration and job scheduling solution that works across applications, APIs, and scripting languages. Run, monitor, and manage critical IT processes—from simple batch jobs to cross-platform workflows—from a single pane of glass.

JAMS can automate jobs on any platform - Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, zOS, and OpenVMS and includes native application integrations to run jobs specific to databases, BI tools, and ERP systems. Its extensive automation features enable you to run jobs on any schedule, as well as trigger off the completion of other events. JAMS centrally monitors the status of all jobs, provides notifications of failure (or success), and maintains a detailed audit trail and log of every execution.

Key benefits of using JAMS

Centralized Control & Visibility: A single dashboard monitors all scheduled jobs and batch processes across diverse systems, reducing reliance on fragmented, native scheduling tools.

Operational Cost Reduction: Automates routine tasks and night-time processes, reducing the need for manual intervention and lowering labor costs.

Reliability & Performance: Features like dependency mapping, resource load balancing, and predictive alerts ensure critical jobs run smoothly and meet SLAs.

Integrations: Connects with applications like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Informatica, and SQL to automate end-to-end workflows.

Event-Based Scheduling: Triggers jobs based on file arrivals, email alerts, or system events rather than just time-based schedules.

Security & Compliance: Provides detailed audit trails, role-based access control, and secure execution of scripts, helping to meet regulatory standards.

“Great dependency checking. The new Workflows are a great addition and very useful for full scale "thinking" by the flow or processes.”

“The idea of having JAMS scheduler handle jobs and monitor them is fantastic and is the best solution so far for batch jobs while managing 20-50 servers.”

Cons
“Clients tend to lose connection with server as it does not refresh consistently (v6), sometimes frustrating that other sessions will show different job statuses.”

“Sadly at this time, after spending a year attempting to deploy, JAMS is not the product for us.”

“We did not want them looking through batch files and trying to figure out what failed and when.”
