Overall Satisfaction with JAMS
JAMS is the primary SAS report scheduling tool used by my team, and also used by other teams in our company. We switched from a prior software to JAMS because it allowed us better control in handling failed reports and our prior software was limited in what kind of jobs could be scheduled. In particular, its ability to inherit multiple variables gave us a lot of flexibility for unifying reports.
- In-app monitoring of job scheduling and completion
- Providing tools to adapt schedules based on changing conditions
- Robust options to rerun and otherwise manage failures
- Requires use and knowledge of PowerShell to get the most out of it
- While scheduling options are far superior to other tools, we have still had circumstances where schedules we wanted to set up were not available in a single job
- Organizing jobs is a pain once they've been created - difficult to move jobs to different folders, and cloning existing jobs can cause new runs to be submitted
- The Web App is woefully inferior to the desktop app
- Reduced cost due to far fewer man-hours on failure management
- Smaller code base due to condensing of similar reports
- Better visualization leading to faster turnaround on failures
