JAMS

Convert CRON jobs into JAMS!!!

You've seen the Windows Task Scheduler and SQL Agent conversion tools within JAMS, but did you know JAMS can also convert your CRON jobs from UNIX installations?    This gives you an easy method of migrating all your existing UNIX jobs from various UNIX flavors into JAMS for a single point of management.

All you need is your crontab configuration file,  and Cron2JAMS.exe, the free Unix Cron job converter tool for JAMS available here:

Setting The PowerShell Execution Policy

To change the PowerShell Execution Policy you can execute the following from within the PowerShell command window:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Or you can change the Execution Policy via the registry by navigating to the following:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell



Then locate string value ExecutionPolicy and add the value from the list below:

Restricted
AllSigned
RemoteSigned
Unrestricted

For example if you want to set your PowerShell execution policy for RemoteSigned add the following:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell
"ExecutionPolicy"="RemoteSigned"

Here you will find a list of the available PowerShell execution policies with a brief description of each:

AllSigned
All scripts as well as configuration files must be signed by a trusted publisher. This includes script on the local as well as remote machines.

Default
Uses the default Restricted policy.

RemoteSigned
All scripts as well as configuration files downloaded via the Internet must be signed by a trusted publisher.

Restricted
As mentioned this is the PowerShell default and will not allow you to execute scripts or load configuration files.

Unrestricted
This allows you to execute all scripts as well as load configuration files however if you download a script from the internet you are prompted to approve it before it can execute.

Process Dependencies

JAMS allows you to make your jobs dependent upon a number of factors. Such as, Is that mission critical process running?

You can easily create a PowerShell job to test a wide array of conditions, for example:

$ProcessName = "abcxyz"

Get-Process -name $ProcessName

If the process cannot be found, the job will fail:

NoProcessFoundForGivenName,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetProcessCommand
Cannot find a process with the name 'abcxyz'. Verify the process name and call the cmdlet again.

Max SN890RH SuperFramer 2-to-3-1/2-Inch Full Round Head Framing Nailer

Price:$369.00
Image: [link]
Best deal: [link]
Max, without question, makes the best nailers on the market, and the full round head SuperFramer is one of the best-known, most widely-used models. Jams are rare, but easily cleared by opening the nose door. The air exhaust port on top is easily rotated, and very nice to have when using the nailer in an oddball position - nice to not get a blast in the face or ears, unlike other guns. The air line quick detach fitting swivels and is high-quality, and the gun self-clears any debris when you uncouple the air line. I also like the safety features on this gun, and that you don't have to buy any extra parts to change from trigger to bump fire. I use mine on 90 PSI most of the time, adjusting depth on the gun. It works over a wide range of nail sizes and materials. Best quality and highly recommended.

Using the Free JAMS Monitor

The JAMS Client provides the ability to monitor and manage Windows Task Scheduler Tasks and SQL Server Agent Jobs.  Both of these features can be used for free, with very little setup required.  In order to use these features, you will need to install the free JAMS Client.  The other components of JAMS are not required.

After installing JAMS Client, please refer to the following articles, which demonstrate how to configure and use the client to manage Windows Scheduler Tasks and SQL Server Agent Jobs.

Please note: In order to use the other features of the JAMS Client, a connection to a JAMS Scheduler is required.  Only the Task Scheduler and SQL Agent tabs will work properly without a connection to a JAMS Scheduler.  Also, some features, such as converting Tasks and SQL Jobs, will be unavailable without a JAMS Scheduler connection. 

The JAMS Scheduler component does require a license.  Please request additional information from our sales department.

Rubrique :	JAMS

Using the Task Scheduler Monitor

Task Scheduler Tab

The Task Scheduler Tab can be used to view information about the Windows Task Scheduler Tasks located on the computer running the JAMS Client, as well as jobs located on other computers.

Displaying Tasks

To view the Tasks installed on the current machine, simply select the Task Scheduler Ribbon Bar Tab.  Then, click the SchedulerTasks shortcut in the Shortcut bar to the left.  By default, this will display all the Scheduler Tasks currently configured on the local machine.  If no tasks are displayed, there may not be any Scheduler Tasks configured on the current machine.

To display the configured Tasks on a remote machine, right click on the shortcut bar, and choose the Add Shortcut option.  Enter a new name for the shortcut.

 

 

Next, select the Query tab.  In the Server Name field, enter the UNC path to the remote computer.  For example \\ServerName.

 

 

Press OK to add the new shortcut to the shortcut bar.  When the newly added shortcut is selected, the Tasks on the remote machine will be displayed.  If no tasks are displayed, ensure that there are Task Scheduler Tasks present on the remote machine.  Also, insure that your current user account has access to the Tasks on the remote machine.

Task Folders

If you are using Windows Vista or Server 2008, Task Scheduler supports the use of folders to organize Tasks.  If the Folder field is left blank in the shortcut Query settings, then all the Tasks from all folders will be displayed.  If you would like to limit the results, simply enter the path to the desired folder.  Entering a single backslash "\" will display all of the Tasks in the root folder.  In the below example, all Tasks within the \Microsoft\Windows\Defrag\ folder will be displayed.

 

Note: After changing the Query properties for a shortcut, you will need to select the Shortcut in the Shortcut Bar and press the Refresh button in order for the Query changes to take effect.

Scheduler Versions

There are two supported versions of Windows Scheduler.  The version is use is determined by the Operating system on which the JAMS Client is installed.  If the Client is running on Windows Vista or Server 2008, then it will be able to access Task information from other machines running Vista or Server 2008.  It will also be able to access Tasks from machines running Windows XP or Server 2003.

However, if the Client is running on Windows XP or Server 2003, it will only be able to access Task information from other machines running XP or Server 2003.  The libraries required to access Tasks on Vista and Server 2008 machines are not present, and therefore, no Task information can be retrieved from these servers.

Converting Tasks

It is very easy to convert a Task Scheduler Task to a JAMS Job.  Simply select a Task from the Task list, right click, and choose the Convert option.  You can also use the Convert to JAMS button in the Ribbon Bar.

Note: Task conversion requires a connection to a JAMS Scheduler.  The free version of the JAMS Client does not support converting Tasks to JAMS Jobs.  A licensed JAMS Scheduler is required.

A Conversion Wizard will now begin, which walks though all the steps required to convert a Task to a JAMS job.  On each step of the wizard, fields will be pre-populated with information from the selected Task Scheduler Task.  You can then change the retrieved information before the new JAMS Job is created.

 

Note: Not all options for a Task are supported by JAMS.  If an option is not supported, then you may receive an error when advancing to the next conversion step.  This is done so that you can appropriately change the property of the Job.

It is also possible to convert multiple Tasks at the same time.  Just select several Tasks from the Task list and click the Convert to JAMS button.  This will start the Wizard for converting multiple Tasks.  The first few steps will prompt for information common to all of the Tasks selected for conversion.  The Wizard will then attempt to convert all of the selected Tasks to JAMS Jobs.

 

If a Task property cannot be directly converted to a JAMS Job property, then a new Wizard screen will be displayed so that the property can be changed accordingly.  A Task which cannot be converted automatically can be Canceled individually.

Other Actions

Tasks can also be started, stopped, and deleted from Task Scheduler.  Simply select a Task from the Task list and click the appropriate button on the Ribbon Bar.

Using the SQL Server Agent Job Monitor

SQL Agent Tab

The SQL Agent Tab can be used to view information about the SQL Server Agent Jobs located on the computer running the JAMS Client, as well as jobs located on other servers.

Displaying Jobs

To view the Jobs installed on the current machine, simply select the SQL Agent Ribbon Bar Tab.  Then, click the SQL Agent Jobs shortcut in the Shortcut bar to the left.  By default, this will display all the SQL Agent Jobs currently configured on the local machine.  If no Jobs are displayed, there may not be any SQL Agent Jobs configured on the current machine.

To display the configured Jobs on a remote machine, right click on the shortcut bar, and choose the Add Shortcut option.  Enter a new name for the shortcut.

 

 

Next, select the Query tab.  In the Server Name field, enter the name of the SQL Server instance to connect to.

 

 

Press OK to add the new shortcut to the shortcut bar.  When the newly added shortcut is selected, the Jobs on the remote machine will be displayed.  If no tasks are displayed, ensure that there are SQL Agent Jobs present on the remote instance.

SQL Server Versions

There are two supported versions of SQL Server Agent, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.  The version is use is determined by the SQL Server version currently installed along with the JAMS Client.  If the Client is running on a machine with SQL Server 2008 installed, then it will be able to access Job information from other instances running SQL Server 2008.  It will also be able to access Jobs from instances running SQL Server 2005.

However, if the Client is running on a machine with SQL Server 2005 installed, then it will only be able to access Job information from other instances running SQL Server 2005.  The libraries required to access Jobs on SQL Server 2005 instances are not present, and therefore, no Job information can be retrieved from these instances.

Converting Jobs

It is very easy to convert a SQL Server Agent Job to a JAMS Job.  Simply select a Job from the Job list, right click, and choose the Convert option.  You can also use the Convert to JAMS button in the Ribbon Bar.

Note: Agent Job conversion requires a connection to a JAMS Scheduler.  The free version of the JAMS Client does not support converting SQL Agent Jobs to JAMS Jobs.  A licensed JAMS Scheduler is required.

A Conversion Wizard will now begin, which walks though all the steps required to convert an Agent Job to a JAMS job.  On each step of the wizard, fields will be pre-populated with information from the selected SQL Agent Job.  You can then change the retrieved information before the new JAMS Job is created.

Since some SQL Agent Jobs will contain multiple Job Steps, these Agent Jobs will be converted to JAMS Setups, with two or more Jobs.

 

 

Note: Not all options for a SQL Agent Job are supported by JAMS.  If an option is not supported, then you may receive an error when advancing to the next conversion step.  This is done so that you can appropriately change the property of the Job.

 

It is also possible to convert multiple SQL Agent Jobs at the same time.  Just select several Agent Jobs from the Jobs list and click the Convert to JAMS button.  This will start the Wizard for converting multiple Jobs.  The first few steps will prompt for information common to all of the Jobs selected for conversion.  The Wizard will then attempt to convert all of the selected Jobs to JAMS Jobs.

 

 

If a SQL Agent Job property cannot be directly converted to a JAMS Job property, then a new Wizard screen will be displayed so that the property can be changed accordingly.  A Job which cannot be converted automatically can be Canceled individually.

Other Actions

SQL Agent Jobs can also be started, stopped, and deleted from the SQL Agent instance.  Simply select a Job from the Job list and click the appropriate button on the Ribbon Bar.

How to Customize the Source Editor

When using the JAMS Source Editor, it is possible to load a user created configuration file which allows you to create your own language syntax coloration rules.  This can be especially useful if you’ve added a custom execution method, and would also like to support fully colorized syntax in the Source Editor.  Instructions for defining a custom execution method can be found here: http://www.jamssupport.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50017.aspx

Custom colorization rules can be applied by using an XML document which specifies which words or characters belong to which color group.  A sample XML document can be found below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

 
   
     
     
     
     
   
   
      foo
   
   
     
   
   
      +=
   
 


In this simple example configuration, notice the format name “KeyWord” has been specified, and the FontColor property has been set to Blue.  Whenever a lexem is defined with the Type “KeyWord”, it will appear in the editor as Blue.
Save the above file in a location which can be accessed by your JAMS client.  Now, edit the User.config file in the JAMSClient installation directory and add or edit a like like:



To test the new configuration file, navigate to the Definitions tab, choose the Jobs shortcut, and Add a new job.  Proceed to the Source editor screen.  To test the new configuration settings, choose the Open File option and load a .foo file.
 

Notice the word “Test” appears in blue.  Using this process, you can define additional lexems in the configuration file, as well as additional languages.  Also, it is possible to override existing language definitions using this process.  Just change the “name” property of the ConfigLanguage tag, and update the extension tag as well.
Some additional resources to help you in defining new language configurations can be found below:

Accessing JAMS from the Web

JAMS is very extensible and can be customized and integrated into your own applications.  This is also true of connecting to JAMS over the web.  This guide will demonstrate how to connect to a JAMS server and submit jobs via a web page.

 

For this example, we will be creating a new ASP.NET Web Application.  Name it JAMSWebParameters.

 

After creating a new project, open the web designer for Default.aspx.  Add a couple of text boxes to the page and a button.  These will be used to accept input from the user for job parameters, and start the new job instance.

Double click the button to move to the codebehind of the web page and add a new button click event.  We will need to write some code which interacts with the JAMS system.  Before we do so, we need to add a reference to JAMSShr.dll.  Right click on the References folder in the Solution Explorer window, choose Add Reference, and then select the browse tab.  The dll can be found at Program Files\MVPSI\JAMS\Client\JAMSShr.dll

 

Now that we have a reference added to the JAMS dll, we can start writing code which accesses the JAMS scheduler.  The code to submit a job and set parameter values can be found below:

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Accesses the JAMS server running on the local machine
            MVPSI.JAMS.Server server = MVPSI.JAMS.Server.GetServer("localhost");

            //Load the job we will be submitting
            Submit.Info si;
            Submit.Load(out si, "ReportProjectedSchedule", server, Submit.Type.Job);

            //Set the parameters which the job needs
            //Some of these will be obtained from the textboxes on the webpage
            si.Parameters["Server"].ParamValue = server.Name;
            si.Parameters["StartDate"].ParamValue = DateTime.Today;
            si.Parameters["EndDate"].ParamValue = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1);

            si.Reports["ProjectedSchedule"].PrintQueue = TextBox1.Text;
            si.Reports["ProjectedSchedule"].PrintForm = TextBox2.Text;

            //Submit the job
            si.Submit();
           
        }

Build and run the application.  When the web page is displayed, you can enter the required information in the textboxes and click the submit button.  This will submit a new job instance in the scheduler on the local machine. 

 

This simple concept can be taken much further to fully leverage the programability of the JAMS system.  All of the functionality of the client GUI is available to the developer.  Using the API, a developer can display information about any JAMS object, such as Jobs, Setups, Systems, Variables, and Triggers.  It is also possible to edit the definitions of any of these objects, if necessary.  Below are a couple of code snippets which demonstrate how to retrieve a listing of Jobs from a JAMS server, and how to change values in a Job definition.

Retrieve a list of Jobs

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Server server = new MVPSI.JAMS.Server("localhost");
            //The find method requires query information to find the jobs you are looking for

How to Automatically Generate Reports

This guide will show you how to automate the generation of reports using JAMS. JAMS makes it easy to add reporting to existing job definitions, or create new jobs which are used just to generate reports. We will be exploring both of these options in this guide.

Let’s take a look at the report definitions which are provided by default. You can view these reports in your JAMS Client by selecting the Reporting tab. To view the reports installed with JAMS, click the Open icon. You will now be presented with report categories, and the name of reports within each category. Also, note that you can open a standalone report file by clicking the File… button.

Select one of the default reports and click OK. The report parameters screen will now open. Here, you can specify different options for the report you have opened. Clicking the submit button will query the JAMS system and produce a report with the specified parameters. After running the report, note that you can export the document to several file formats using the Export To menu in the top right corner of the screen.

Using the reporting tab is an easy way to manually run reports against the JAMS system. It is also possible to run the same reports automatically, which will be demonstrated later in this guide.

If you would like to make changes to one of the default report layouts, or create your own report layout from scratch, you can do so in the Report Designer. To access the Report Designer, select the Definitions tab, and click the Report Designer icon. This will open a new window with the JAMS Report Designer. With this designer, it is possible to open an existing report definition, or create a new report. After creating a new report, you can save the report definition to the JAMS system, or to a file on the hard drive. Either way, the report can be loaded later on to view manually, or automatically, as part of a job.

When creating a new report, you will be asked to select the data source for the new report. These data sources are used to query different aspects of the JAMS system. Each data source comes with pre-defined parameters whose values can be changed in order to produce a different report output.

Now that we have an idea of what reports are available, and how to create new ones, we can go about integrating these reports with Jobs. There are several Jobs installed by default which produce reports. In this guide, we will be looking more closely at the ReportCurrentSchedule Job. Select the Definitions tab, and then the Jobs icon to display the job definitions on your system. Then double click the ReportCurrentSchedule job to open its properties. Select the Source Options tab. The Execution Method is set to Reports. This is a built-in execution method which generates report documents attached to a job. If you would like to extend other Execution Methods to provide this functionality, or create a new Execution Method which uses reports, you can find a useful guide here: http://www.jamssupport.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50017.aspx

Now, select the Reports tab in the Job definition. Here, you will see all the reports this job will produce, as well as a description. Select the CurrentSchedule report and click the Properties… button.

From this screen, we can change the default properties for this report. The Logical Name field is the location of the report definition which will be loaded at runtime and generated. Specify the location in the JAMS database by using the “Category\Report Name” format, or use a full filename to load a report definition stored on a hard drive.

The File Name field is the location a report output file will be saved to, once the report has been generated. Only specify the directory a report should be saved to. A filename and extension will be added automatically.

The Print Queue field can contain a list of email addresses to send the generated report file to. The different addresses should be separated by semi-colons or commas. If both the File Name and Print Queue fields are specified, then the report will be both saved and emailed to any listed recipients.

The Print Form field specifies which format to export the report to. The supported formats are: PDF, HTML, MHT, CSV, RTF, Text, or Xls. “Print” can also be specified, which will send the output of the document to the default printer.

Return to the Job Definitions screen and right click on the ReportCurrentSchedule job. Then select Submit. This will display the submit dialog for the selected job. This dialog contains several parameters which are the various options the report will use to query the JAMS database. Select the Reports tab to view the override options for the report settings. Here, the Print Queue and Print Form field values can be changed from the default values specified in the job definition. When the job is submitted, these final values will be used to determine how the job is exported and who the document is sent to.

The default report jobs included with the install of the JAMS client can be submitted manually, but they can also be scheduled to run at various times. It may be beneficial to know which jobs ran over the course of the previous day, or what the upcoming job schedule looks like. It is also easy to specify a report job as a Notification Job, or a Recovery Job.

Another way of integrating reporting with automated jobs is using the JAMSReportGenerator.exe. It is possible to specify the same report properties mentioned earlier, such as email list or export format in the Parameters of a parsed job which does not use the Reports execution method. Once these parameters are supplied, the report can be generated with a call to the JAMSReportGenerator.exe. This example uses the Parsed Windows Command procedure Execution Method.

Integrating reporting into JAMS provides an easy way to retrieve information and monitor how your JAMS system is performing on a routine basis. The methods which were used to generate reports in this guide can also be extended and customized to work exactly how they need to in many different situations.

How to Create a Custom Parsed Execution Method

Creating a custom execution method can be very helpful in customizing how JAMS runs jobs. It is possible to utilize a technology which JAMS does not interface with out of the box, or modify an existing execution method to add, or customize functionality. In this guide, we will copy an existing execution method and modify how it runs jobs.

You can find a list of the JAMS execution methods by selecting the Management tab, and then clicking on the Execution Methods icon.

For this example, we will be copying the Parsed Windows Command procedure to a new execution method and adding some custom functionality.

First, we need to create a new execution method in JAMS. We can add a new execution method by clicking on the Add icon in the above dialog. This will start the JAMS Execution Method Definition Wizard. In the wizard, we must specify a unique name. Also, we can enter a description of the new method.

Next, we must specify an Execution Type. We will be selecting Batch.

The new execution method will now be added to the execution method list. We can now edit the new definition further. Open the definition and select the Source tab. In Job Module field, enter the name of the template library which will be used. We will be creating a new one later in this example called CustomParsed. Also, enter cmd as the Default File Extension.

Now, select the Execution tab. In the Command field, enter “cmd.exe /c "{0}"”.

There are other properties which may be needed for other execution methods. A full list of the available execution method properties, and descriptions of the properties can be found here: http://www.mvpsi.com/doc/JAMSClient/MethodsProperties.html

Now that we have created a new entry in JAMS for our custom execution method, we need to create a new Job Module in the BaseMacros.xml file. This file provides JAMS with a template for parsing a Job’s command procedure. To add a new entry to the file, open the BaseMacros.xml file which is located in C:\Program Files\MVPSI\JAMS\Scheduler\BaseMacros.xml

Since we are adding functionality to an existing execution method, we can copy the existing macro for Parsed jobs. This is the first Macro entry in the file.

    
         
         <>
         exit %errorlevel% ]]>
    


Copy and paste this code back into the BaseMacros.xml file, inside of the tags. We will now change the macro to provide our custom functionality. First, we need to change the name of the macro to match the execution method’s Job Module property. In this example, it is “CustomParsed”. Next, we can begin changing the macro. When a job executes, the code contained within the “JAMS can retrieve data from the job currently executing. This data is then used to execute the job. Data is contained within the <<>> tags. JAMS can also evaluate and insert other macros, which are contained in the <%%> tags.

In this example code, the JAMS.Parameters collection, and the JAMS.Source property are being referenced. The objects you can retrieve data from are as follows:

System	The Job or Setup’s JAMS System
Setup	Only accessible when running a Setup
Job	Only accessible when running a Job
SetupJob	Only accessible when running a Setup
Current	The CurJob object
Node	A NodeInfo object
Source	The Source property provided by the Job
NotifyEMail	The final list of email addresses to be notified. This is a combination of e-mail addresses from the DefaultNotifyEmail config setting, System, Setup, and Job notify lists.

You can reference any of the above objects starting by starting with “JAMS.”. So, if we want to retrieve a description of the System this job is running under, we would use <> in our macro. It is possible to access any public property from any of the above objects. If one of the above objects are not specified, the Current object is inserted. So, in the macro source, <> and <> would evaluate to the same value. The properties of the above objects can be found in our documentation, here: http://www.mvpsi.com/doc/ProgrammerReference/Default.html

Parameters and variable values can also be accessed. If you do not start out the reference with “JAMS.”, the value of a Parameter or JAMS variable will be used instead, if one is found. So, if your job specifies a parameter named “FileLocation”, you can access the value from the macro by using “<>”.

It is also possible to add formatting to a value. For example, we could use <> to format the StartTime of the Current job in a Short Date pattern. Any format supported by the .NET String.Format method can be used. A listing of these formats can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fbxft59x.aspx

Macro tags will insert another macro from within the BaseMacros.xml file. They can be used with any object which supports the IEnumerable interface. In this example, the Symbol macro is used.

<%Symbol(JAMS.Parameters)%>

It will be inserted once for each of the JAMS.Parameters which are retrieved from the job at execution time. The Symbol macro is as follows:

    
         >=<> ]]>
    

Once inside of a sub macro, you can access the properties of the current object within the enumeration by specifying the property name within angle brackets. So, for each parameter in the JAMS.Current.Parameters collection, the Symbol macro is inserted. Then, the values of the NAME and VALUE properties are retrieved and inserted into the SET line.

When the default Parsed macro is executed, it looks similar to this:

C:\Windows\system32>REM JAMS Parsed Macro

C:\Windows\system32>SET Param1=Value1

C:\Windows\system32>SET Param2=Value1

C:\Windows\system32>REM Source of Job inserted here

C:\Windows\system32>exit 0

Now that we have an understanding of how the parsing works, we can modify the default to add some custom functionality. We will be adding a couple of lines to the beginning of the job execution to better log what job is being executed. Make the highlighted changes to the CustomParsed macro we pasted into the BaseMacros.xml file.

CustomParsed">
    
         Custom Parsed Macro
         REM Job Name: <>
         REM Job Description: <>
         REM Running under System: <>
         <%Symbol(JAMS.Parameters)%>
         <>
         exit %errorlevel% ]]>
    

Now, save the BaseMacros.xml file. In order for the new macro to be used, the JAMSScheduler service must be restarted. This must be done every time a change is made to the BaseMacros.xml file, or the changes will not take effect when job runs. This can be done in Windows PowerShell using the command Restart-Service JAMSScheduler.

Once the service has restarted, we can create a new job to test the execution method we just made, or change the execution method of an existing job. This property can be found in the Source Options tab of a job definition.

Note: If you do not see the CustomParsed Execution method in the dialog, you may need to hit the Refresh button in order for the newly created method to appear.

Now, submit the job and view the resulting log file when the job completes. You can now see that the additional information we inserted in the BaseMacros.xml file has been parsed, and the additional logging comments have been displayed successfully.

Description of the JobState Enum type

The life cycle of a JAMS Job istracked by the JobState property.  The following list describes whathappens as a job moves through each of the states.

 

Scheduled

The job has just been added tothe schedule and the JAMSSchedule service has not looked at it.  The jobwill be in this state for only a short period of time.  When theJAMSSceduler service looks at the job, it will advance the JobState to Held.

 

Held

If the job has been “Held untilreleased”, it will stay in the Held state until it is manually released. If the job has not been held, it will advance to either Timed or StepWaitstate.  If the job is a subjob of a Setup, it advances to StepWaitotherwise, it advances to timed.

 

Timed

The job is waiting for itsscheduled time to arrive and/or waiting for its Schedule Window to open. When the scheduled time arrives, the job’s dependencies are evaluated and theJobState is advanced to DependencyWait

 

StepWait

The job is waiting for its Setupto advance to the job’s step.  When the Setup does, the job’s JobState isadvanced to DependencyWait.

 

DependencyWait

The job is waiting for all ofits dependencies to be satisfied.  When they are satisfied, the JobStateis advanced to PrecheckWait.

PrecheckWait

The job’s Precheck job issubmitted (if there is one).  When the job completes successfully, theJobState is advanced to ResourceWait.  If the precheck job is notsuccessful, it is resubmitted after a delay.  If the job does not have aprecheck job, the JobState advances to ResourceWait.

 

ResourceWait

The job is waiting for resourcesor a queue job limit slot.  When resources and queue slot are available,the JobState is advanced to Pending.

 

Pending

The job is ready to run. Send the information the to the JAMS Executor service and advance the JobStateto Starting

 

Starting

Waiting for the completion ofthe JAMSExecutor remote procedure call.  When it completes, the JobStateis advanced to Executing

 

Executing

The job is executing.

 

Idle

The job is still logically“executing” but, it is idle while waiting for an event.  There is nolonger a process or executable associated with the job, the job’s processnotified us before exiting that is was not done, it was just going idle while waitingfor an event.  This state is only used by Workflow Foundation jobs.

 

Completed

The job is done.  Allprocesses associated with the job have completed.  We leave the job in theCompleted state for 60 seconds before either deleting all traces of the job oradvancing the job state to CompletedKept

 

CompletedKept

The job is done but is beingretained in the schedule for awhile.  The amount of time to keep the jobin the schedule could be specified in the job’s retain options, the job’ssystem’s retain options or the KeepCompleted Configuration setting.

 

Rescheduling

The Rescheduling JobState is nolonger used.

 

Missing

While a job is executing theJAMSScheduler service will periodically ask the JAMSExecutor service to thestatus of the job.  If the JAMSExecuter doesn’t have the job, theJAMSScheduler changes the JobState to missing.  A job in the MissingJobState will eventually be handled as a failed job and the job state willchange to Completed.

Extending the SQLCMD execution method to work with any server

The SQLCMD Execution Method executes SQL commands against the default SQL Server instance on the machine where the job is running.  This article describes how you can create a new Execution Method which gets the SQL Server machine and instance from one of the job's parameters.

Note: The SQLCMDServer execution method is included in JAMS V4.6.28 or higher

We'll start by copying the SQLCMD Execution Method to a new Execution Method using the JAMS PowerShell snap-in and the following command (make sure you replace "YourServer" with the name of your JAMS Server):

PS C:\> copy JAMS::YourServer\Methods\SQLCMD JAMS::YourServer\Methods\SQLCMDServer

Now, open the SQLCMDServer Execution Method in the JAMS GUI, click the "Execution" tab and remove the "-S (local)" from the Command string.  Save those changes and the SQLCMDServer execution method is ready to go.

With the SQLCMDServer execution method, you have to connect to a SQL Server instance in your job's source.  You do that with the ":connect" command (don't forget the leading colon).  You can use a specific Server name and instance or get them from a JAMS Parameter or Variable.  Here are some examples:

:connect MySqlServer
:connect MySqlServer\SQLExpress
:connect <>
:connect MySqlServer -U Joe -P <>

JAMS Services fail to start

There is a potential problem with the Microsoft .NET Framework that can prevent the JAMS Services from starting.  The .NET Framework verifies an executable images digital signature when a service starts.  During this verification the Framework downloads a certificate revokation list from:

http://crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/CSPCA.crl

If internet access is slow or access to this URL is blocked, the service may fail to start because the Service Control Manager times out waiting for the image to start.

Options for specifying the JAMS Server in PowerShell

If you're using the JAMS Snapin for PowerShell you've already found that every cmdlet has a "-Server" parameter that you can use to specify which JAMS Server should be used.  However, you probably don't want to use it!  The -Server parameter is fine when you want to explicitly specify the JAMS Server but it's easier to use one of the defaults.

Here's how a JAMS cmdlet determines which JAMS Server it should use:

1. Was -Server specified on the command line?
2. Is the $JAMSDefaultServer PowerShell variable defined?
3. Is our current default location a JAMS Provider drive?
4. Are we being executed as batch job by a JAMS Server?
5. Pick the first first JAMS Provider drive.
6. Throw an exception.

 Setting $JAMSDefaultServer is what we usually use when working interactively.  You might want to set that in your PowerShell profile but, be careful or you'll break option 4.  Option 4, checking to see if the cmdlet is being executed as a JAMS job, may be the most interesting option.  The idea is to make it easy to use JAMS cmdlets in your jobs without requiring any changes when the job moves from a test server to a production server.  

So, how can you set $JAMSDefaultServer in your profile without breaking the default host option? Simple, just check for the $Host.PrivateData.  When JAMS executes a job, it creates a HostName property in $Host.PrivateData so you can do this in your profile:

if ($Host.PrivateData.HostName -eq $null)
{
    $JAMSDefaultServer = "MyJAMSServer"
}

Are there any issues with OpenVMS V8.3?

There are a couple of issues with VMS V8.3 but, they’re minor and it’s likely that you won’t run into them.  The fixes for these issues are in JAMS V4.2K (and later).

If it’s not convenient to upgrade JAMS, you can avoid the issues by doing two things, first:

Make sure that your SYSUAF file does not have global buffers enabled.  You can check this by doing:

$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
$ DIR/FULL SYSUAF

Look at “File attributes:”, the last item is the number of global buffers.  If that is greater than 0, set it to zero with:

$ SET FILE/NOGLOBAL SYSUAF

The second this is:

Check the value of your CTLPAGES setting by doing:

$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI(“CTLPAGES”)

Define the JAMS_SPARE_CTLPAGES logical name to be 40% of the value of CTLPAGES so, if CTLPAGES was 1056, you would do:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC JAMS_SPARE_CTLPAGES 422

Let us know if you have any questions or problems.

Getting started with PowerShell

PowerShell is Microsoft's new scripting and command line environment.  It's a teriffic tool that will change the way that you manage your Windows machines.  This article will help you get started using the JAMS PowerShell snap-in.

Before you can use the JAMS PowerShell snap-in, you have to have PowerShell.  If you don't already have PowerShell, you can download it from:

http://www.Microsoft.com/PowerShell

This is also a good place to learn about PowerShell.

Once you have PowerShell installed, you have to make sure that you have to JAMS PowerShell snap-in installed.  If you installed the JAMS Client before PowerShell you must reinstall the JAMS Client to get the PowerShell snap-in.

Before you can use a PowerShell snap-in, you have to add it to your PowerShell environment.  You do that with the Add-PSSnapin cmdlet.  Add the JAMS Snap-in like this:

PS C:\> Add-PSSnapin MVPSI.JAMS

To get a list of the commands in the JAMS Snapin, enter:

PS C:> Get-Command -PSSnapIn MVPSI.JAMS

To get help on any of those commands (or any other PowerShell command), try:

How do I set the SMTP Server?

The best place to specify the SMTP server is in the Machine.config file.  This will apply to all applications on that machine which use the SmtpClient class (unless overridden).  The Machine.config file is located in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\Config directory.  There is also a Machine.config.comments file in that directory which contains some documentation.

You can also put the SMTP configuration in the JAMSScheduler.exe.config file which is in the C:\Program Files\MVPSI\JAMS\Scheduler directory.

An example of specifying the SMTP configuration is (you use the same syntax in either file):

 
   
     
       
     
   
 

There is also a simple setting in the Common.config file which looks like this:

 

The Common.config file is also located in C:\Program Files\MVPSI\JAMS\Scheduler.

How do I shrink the history file?

Purging JAMS history should be completely automated.  When JAMS is initially installed, a job named JAMS_PURGE is created which is scheduled to run every Sunday.  This job purges the JAMS History and then does a CONVERT/RECLAIM on the HIST.DAT file to reclaim space from the deleted records.

You should verify that the JAMS_PURGE job is successfully running.

If JAMS_PURGE is running, it could be that you're keeping more history than you want.  You can adjust the default values for the parameters to JAMS_PURGE to change the amount of history you keep.

It could also be that the HIST.DAT file grew so large because of an unusual event and the file is mostly free space.  The JAMS_PURGE job won't shrink the physical size of the file.  To shrink the file while preserving the history, do this:

$ MCR JAMS_EXE:JAMS_MASTER STOP SCHEDULE/NORESTART
$ SET DEFAULT JAMS_DATA:
$ ANALYZE/RMS/FDL/OUTPUT=HISTOPT.FDL HIST.DAT
$ EDIT/FDL/NOINTERACTIVE/ANALYSIS=HISTOPT.FDL HISTOPT.FDL
$ CONVERT/FDL=HISTOPT.FDL/STATS/NOSORT HIST.DAT HIST.DAT
$ PURGE HIST.DAT
$ MCR JAMS_EXE:JAMS_MASTER START SCHEDULE

Note that this make take a LONG time.

If you don't really care about the history and you just want to quickly shrink the file, do this:

$ MCR JAMS_EXE:JAMS_MASTER STOP SCHEDULE/NORESTART
$ SET DEFAULT JAMS_DATA:
$ DELETE HIST.DAT;*
$ CREATE/FDL=HIST.FDL HIST.DAT
$ MCR JAMS_EXE:JAMS_MASTER START SCHEDULE

This is quick but, IT WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR HISTORY.
