Essentially, every component in JAMS supports or controls how a Job is defined or run. At its core a JAMS Job incorporates a number of properties and resources that ensures that it executes at the right time and under the proper conditions.

In a nutshell, a Job is a task, script or command that can be run on a variety of systems including: Windows, Unix, and PeopleSoft.

The Execution Method page follows. Here you can view and choose from a listing of execution methods by clicking the File Browser button.
Select Next to access the Notification Email Addresses page where you can supply one or more addresses to alert staff members if a Job fails or doesn’t complete within an allotted time.
On the next page, verify the user account for this Job using the dropdown list or by entering a valid username and password.
On the Source page you can (optionally) enter the Job’s commands. Click the Next button.
