JAMS Delivers Support for Microsoft PowerShell
Columbus, Ohio – June 21, 2007 – MVP Systems, Inc., the developer of JAMS, a leading task scheduling and process automation application built on the .NET platform, announced today that it has added support for PowerShell, Microsoft’s new command line shell and scripting language.
With JAMS PowerShell support, users will be able to merge the powerful scheduling capabilities of JAMS with PowerShell scripts, combine JAMS cmdlets into scripts, and easily manipulate JAMS objects.
PowerShell support has been added to JAMS in three distinct areas:
- The JAMS PowerShell host is used to execute PowerShell scripts under the control of JAMS. Now, users can add all the power of JAMS to their PowerShell scripts.
- The JAMS PowerShell Snapin adds a wide array of PowerShell cmdlets which can be used to manage JAMS with PowerShell. Users can manage entries in the schedule, query history, control JAMS queues, and easily combine any of these PowerShell cmdlets into scripts.
- The JAMS PowerShell Provider exposes JAMS objects to the PowerShell environment. With the JAMS Provider, users can utilize PowerShell to manipulate JAMS objects the same way files are manipulated in the file system.
The new PowerShell provider and cmdlets also work with the JAMS VMS Connector, making it easy for OpenVMS customers to use PowerShell with the OpenVMS back-end as easily as if it were a Windows back-end.
JAMS V4.3.810 is now available as an open beta and can be immediately downloaded from the JAMS website at www.mvpsi.com. A production release is expected before the end of summer.
