What’s New in JAMS V7.1

The New Features in JAMS V7.1. (9:12)

Hackers don’t discriminate. If they can’t impersonate a user to commit their acts, they could impersonate a job. That batch job you run every night at 2 AM with Task Scheduler or Cron? That one that has a plaintext password in the source code? Someone could wreak havoc if they had access to run that job on their terms. Even worse, they could steal credentials from that job and use them to access other systems. (18:19)

SAP is a best-in-class business application, but workload automation isn’t one of its core features. Overcome the scheduling limitations of the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) in SAP with enterprise workload automation. Watch this recorded webinar to learn how to start SAP jobs dynamically, eliminate processing delays, deploy robust alerting, and connect SAP to other applications like Informatica and Oracle.

You’ve grown beyond a few SQL servers and jobs, and the basic management tools in SQL Agent are starting to fall short. It’s time to tame SQL Agent. Learn how to monitor the status of Agent jobs using a centralized dashboard approach, how to keep common code in sync across hundreds of servers, how to handle server outages, and your database maintenance and backup options for any SQL editions that don’t support SQL Agent. Then, see how you can easily manage hundreds of servers and thousands of jobs with JAMS. (1:01:17)

At the University of Mary Washington, manually processing financial aid packages and importing ISIR loads consumed dozens of hours each week. They set out to find a Banner automation solution that worked well, was flexible, had good service, and that the university was willing to write the check for. Watch this recorded webinar to learn more about UMW’s automation journey, see how JAMS seamlessly integrates and dynamically pulls Banner Jobs and Parameter Sets, and get a step-by-step walk-through of how you can automate ISIR loads.

At the University of Virginia Health System, SQL Agent couldn’t keep pace with increasing user needs for more frequent and accurate patient care reports. The lack of dependencies meant job failures piled up like train crashes, and difficult troubleshooting caused slow and tedious resolution times. In a system where SQL jobs might relate to patient admission or treatment, delays were unacceptable. The team needed a way to manage SQL at the enterprise level. In this recorded webinar, we’ll take you through UVA Health’s Automation Journey and show you how JAMS automates SQL at the enterprise level. (31:16)

In this recorded webinar, our technical team will help you understand the key concepts of workload automation and learn new, innovative ways to manage scheduled jobs in your organization. Learn how you can unify jobs from multiple applications and platforms, manage your environment more efficiently, enhance your alerting and auditing capabilities, and automatically respond to jobs that could impact SLAs. (35:18)

The robust feature set in JAMS ensures that your critical workloads execute reliably, run securely, conform to complex business logic, and adapt to new requirements. Watch the recording to learn about full job monitoring and control, management-focused design, tight security, native auditing, flexible parameters, and dynamic scheduling. (21:26)

Businesses depend on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for financial and project management, but workload automation isn’t one of JDE’s core features. JD Edwards has only very basic scheduling options and has limited ability to connect to other applications. It was never intended to run and manage jobs at the enterprise level. If you’ve ever found yourself searching through the work center to find a bad AAI setup or manually running your month-end job stream to make sure everything is successful, it’s time to automate JD Edwards.

Dig into the performance issues many DBAs face as they manage both SQL Server and non-SQL Server tasks with SQL Agent. Together with MSQLTips we explore how to monitor and alert on performance with custom scripts, Extended Events and PerfMon counters. Then we look at how you can save significant time by centralizing SQL jobs in JAMS. (57:55)

Scheduling batch processes is only the beginning. Enterprises require critical workloads to execute reliably, run securely, conform to complex business logic, and adapt to new requirements. Explore the business cases for switching from native or legacy scheduling tools to a centralized workload automation solution. (41:24)
