Enterprise Job Scheduler Software: Every Server You Run
One console for every scheduled job, script, and ERP process. Dependencies, alerts, and history come built in.
Job scheduler software runs jobs automatically based on time, events, and dependencies, then records what happened. JAMS Scheduler does this across Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, OpenVMS, and z/OS, with 70+ built-in Execution Methods.
The problem
Why native job schedulers stop scaling
Windows Task Scheduler, cron, and SQL Server Agent each keep their own schedule, their own logs, and their own idea of failure on every server. Once jobs depend on each other across machines, nobody has one place to see what ran, what failed, or what is waiting.
How it works
How JAMS Scheduler runs a job
Every job moves through the same five stages, so you can see exactly why something is waiting, running, or done.
01
Trigger
A time, file, job, variable, or email submits the job
02
Dependencies
The entry waits until every precondition is met
03
Queue and Resources
Limits decide what runs now and what runs together
04
Agent
Runs on Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, OpenVMS, or z/OS
05
Result and Events
History, alerts, and recovery jobs fire on the outcome
Most waiting happens at the Dependencies stage. JAMS Scheduler shows exactly which precondition a job is waiting on.
Capabilities
Job scheduling tools in one console
Natural-language schedules
Write schedules like “Workdays” or “1st Friday of Month,” with fiscal Date Types for non-calendar periods.
Event triggers
Submit jobs when a file lands, another job finishes, a variable changes, or an email arrives.
Dependencies and Pre-Check Jobs
Hold a job until every upstream job, file, or custom precondition is met.
Queues and load balancing
Cap concurrent jobs and spread work across Agents. An unavailable Agent drops out and rejoins when it returns.
Runaway and stalled alerts
Get notified when a job runs too long, finishes too fast, or stalls waiting on a prerequisite.
Job Diagram
See every upstream and downstream dependency for a job before you change it.
Audit Trail with revert
Every change to jobs, credentials, and Agents is recorded. Revert a job or restore a deleted one.
Folder inheritance
Set credentials, Agents, triggers, and notifications once on a Folder and every job in it inherits them.
