What is JAMS?

The Job Access and Management System (JAMS) is designed to automate and enhance your organization’s batch processing capabilities across multiple platforms. Windows, UNIX, Linux and System i can be easily tied together using the JAMS enterprise scheduling engine.

Whether your organization’s servers are virtualized or physical, uniform or diverse, JAMS provides secure control mechanisms that can enable you to submit batch processing jobs or alternatively create schedules for automatic execution.

JAMS is highly customizable and ready to provide benefits right out of the box. In addition, JAMS is scalable, allowing you to grow your business without worry that future upgrades will negate existing work or settings.

Once properly configured, JAMS will enhance and simplify the most complex batch scheduling processes, providing your organization with increased system reliability and reduced cost of operation.

JAMS Components

JAMS integrates three components that work together to create a unique and powerful management system.

JAMS Client: provides the main user controls for JAMS in a Windows-based GUI.
JAMS Scheduler: schedules all Jobs, Scripts, or Tasks that run on your organization’s servers. It is also monitors the status of all Jobs and communicates this information to the JAMS Client.
JAMS Server: the application service that facilitates communication between the JAMS Clients and the JAMS Scheduler.
