Product Details

What is JAMS?

JAMS is an enterprise job scheduling and workload automation solution that manages IT processes – from simple batch processes and scripts, to cross-platform workflows that integrate jobs running on multiple servers and business applications. JAMS enables users to define, schedule, execute and monitor jobs from a single centralized console.

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 automation features enable users 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.

JAMS helps enterprises eliminate the slack, security risks, and lack of visibility associated with trying to automate critical business processes with a jumble of homegrown, single-platform scheduling tools and scripts. Once jobs are centrally managed in JAMS, JAMS will manage cross-platform workflows to drive results.

JAMS is a key part of Fortra’s comprehensive portfolio. Fortra states its mission is to help organizations increase security maturity while decreasing operational burden, envisining a stronger, simpler future for automation and cybersecurity.

  • Execution of Batch Jobs, Scripts, Cron, Stored Procedure.
  • Monitoring of Jobs that are executing, completed, and failed.
  • Different Execution Methods are supported, like powershell, SQL task, file transfer, windows task scheduler, workflow, etc.
  • Supports integration with other application like goanywhere MFT, SAP, Oracle, etc.
  • Error handling and sending of notifications for different types of events particular to a defined job.
  • JAMS allows you to manual or automatically deploy JAMS Agent.
  • Very simple and user friendly, easy to understand and implement.
Cons
  • When connecting to a database like Oracle, we need to use the Oracle driver. It would be better if the user could define the Oracle connection through JAMS itself.
  • Sample job for different kind of execution method.
  • It would be better if we could click a button to upgrade the version of the JAMS application when upgrading it.
  • Enhance the capabilities of the JAMS Web Client so that it will not be needed in the future because it is a hassle to install it on different workstations.

JAMS - great experiences with it for 10+ years.

  • It allows for very complex workflows.
  • JAMS is very customizable, for times, emails, etc.
  • JAMS has an open database to build complex queries against jobs and history.
  • JAMS queue process allows us to pause groups of jobs at a time.
Cons
  • On complex jobs it might be challenging to find where in the flow a job is located.
  • JAMS security model is very robust but has troubles at times.
  • Because of robust configurations, some views (lists) are missing data, so it would be nice to have on it.
