MC Press Online is one of the world's leading providers of education and training materials for all levels of IBM Power Systems professionals. Chris Smith, one of MC Press' lead writers, wrote a brief review of JAMS Job Scheduler. Some of his comments are below.
"The company's JAMS Job Scheduler has individual software "agents" that allow it to work with just about any operating system. In fact, the company brags that it has not yet come across an operating system that is not compatible."
"Since many batch jobs run at odd hours, it helps to be notified if things go awry, which is why JAMS now has integrated voice and SMS text communications to notify the operator of any problem. You can even communicate back to JAMS using a portable device."
"What's really handy about JAMS is that it not only does job scheduling and workload management, but as of V 4.8 (the current version is 5.3), it also handles file transfers-FTP, FTPS (FTP over SSL), SFTP (FTP using SSH), and Secure Copy employing SSH. The file transfer features support wild cards and automatic retries while maintaining an audit log of all transfer activity. Customers reportedly use JAMS to schedule critical business processes that have to run once an associated file transfer is complete."
