Cross Platform Scheduling
A JAMS Scheduler can orchistrate the execution of scripts across multiple platforms with ease. Windows, OpenVMS, Linux, can all be easily tied together with JAMS.

PowerShell Support
JAMS includes a PowerShell Host for executing PowerShell scripts. It also includes a PowerShell Snapin with over 20 JAMS specific cmdlets and a JAMS Provider to expose your JAMS objects to PowerShell.

Date specifications are easy!
JAMS uses natural language date specifications, not complicated codes. JAMS understands just about any date specification you can think of, things like:

• "WEEKDAYS"
• "FIRST DAY OF MONTH"
• "LAST DAY OF MONTH"
• "3RD WORKDAY OF PERIOD"
• "2ND TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER"

Resource Based Scheduling
Managing the batch processing in an enterprise is complex. As you add jobs and servers the complexity increases exponentially. JAMS adds another powerful tool to your arsenal, Resource Based Scheduling.

A Resource is an arbitrary component used by your jobs. A Resource can represent disk I/O, memory utilization, database lock contention, or network bandwidth, anything which is needed by your jobs. Once you've identified your Resources, you specify which Resources a Job requires and JAMS takes care of the rest!

Setups
Setups are another powerful scheduling tool. Setups make it easy to define a stream of jobs which can then be managed as a single entity. The Jobs in the Setup can be a mixture of OpenVMS, Windows NT and Unix Jobs. JAMS takes care of all of the details of sequencing and scheduling the individual Jobs.

Parameters
JAMS has the best parameter handling in the business. Each Job can have up to 255 parameters. When an operator or end-user requests a job, JAMS will display "fill-in-the-blanks" forms to obtain values for a Jobs parameters. JAMS also has many features which make sure the correct values are passed to automatically scheduled jobs. For example, if a parameter is a date, you specify the default value using JAMS natural language date specifications, for example, "FIRST WORKDAY OF LAST MONTH".

Job Execution History
JAMS keeps track of all batch jobs that run on your system. You can query this history immediately, it's updated as soon as the job completes!

Dependencies
A JAMS Job can have an unlimited number of dependencies. A Job can depend on the completion of another Job, the completion of a remote Job or, it can depend upon the value of a JAMS Variable.

Notification
JAMS can notify you of many different problems. You can be notified of:

• Failed Job completion.
• Successful Job completion.
• Job is taking too long.
• Job is stalled.
• Job ran too quickly.
