The JAMS Workflow Execution Method leverages the Windows Workflow Foundation design editor to allow a user to create complex workflows for Jobs, Setups, and other activities in JAMS.  As this Workflow Execution Method gains more and more traction amongst our user base, we are often asked about using these Workflow Jobs to submit Jobs on JAMS Agents other than Windows, such as Linux, Unix, and OpenVMS. 

A Windows Workflow Job in JAMS would be run from the JAMS Primary Engine Windows machine and is not able to have its Agent Node (on the Submit Options tab of the Workflow Job properties) set to an Agent installed on a non-Windows platform.  However, within that Windows Workflow Job Source, users can drag and drop Submit activities to the design editor and specify Job Names for those Submit activities that do execute on an Agent running on a platform other than Windows.  Within the Workflow Submit activity properties, the Agent name can be specified, and the Workflow Job running on the Windows machine will manage the Submission of those Jobs to those JAMS Agents:
