Why Switch to JAMS

Legacy schedulers and siloed automation tools can slow teams down as environments grow more complex. JAMS replaces fragmented scheduling with a single, enterprise-ready workload automation platform that scales with your needs.

With JAMS, teams gain centralized visibility across systems, more control over dependencies and exceptions, and stronger automation for modern hybrid environments. Built-in migration utilities and expert support help reduce risk and effort when transitioning from your existing scheduler, so you can move forward without rebuilding everything from scratch.

The result is more reliable automation, fewer manual workarounds, and a platform designed to support both today’s workloads and what’s next.

We Make Migration Easy

Migrating from AutoSys doesn’t mean starting from scratch. JAMS provides tools and support designed to minimize disruption:

  • Automated Job Conversion
    Our migration utility reads your AutoSys JIL files and automatically converts jobs, schedules, calendars, and dependencies into JAMS. Most customers convert the majority of jobs automatically.
  • Side-by-Side Running
    Run AutoSys and JAMS in parallel during your migration period. Test converted jobs in JAMS while AutoSys continues production workloads—switch over when you’re confident.
  • Dedicated Migration Engineer
    Every customer gets a migration specialist who has guided numerous organizations through this process. They’ll help you plan the conversion, troubleshoot issues, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Proven Methodology
    We’ve successfully migrated hundreds of organizations from AutoSys. Our phased approach minimizes risk: convert infrastructure jobs first, then application jobs, then decommission AutoSys.
  • Training Included
    Your team gets comprehensive training on JAMS as part of the migration. We ensure everyone is comfortable before you go live.

Technical Details: AutoSys JIL Files and Migration to JAMS

Migrating from AutoSys to JAMS involves leveraging your existing AutoSys configuration. The key to this process is the AutoSys Job Information Language (JIL) files, which define your jobs, schedules, and dependencies.

  • AutoSys Database: Use AutoSys utilities or SQL queries to export job definitions to JIL files.
  • AutoSys Server File System: Check the AutoSys installation directory for JIL files or directories containing them.
  • Access the Migration Utility: Within JAMS, locate the AutoSys migration tool.
  • Import JIL Files: Upload your JIL files to the utility.
  • Review and Validate: The utility converts the JIL int
  • Test and Refine: Run converted jobs in JAMS, comparing their output to AutoSys. Refine the definitions as needed.
