The JAMS Integration (add-on) for PeopleSoft allows users to initiate PeopleSoft processes and take advantage of PeopleSoft’s monitoring and report distribution capabilities using the sophisticated and reliable JAMS scheduling software.

The JAMS Integration acts as an intermediary between JAMS and PeopleSoft. When the adapter runs it initiates communication with the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler and instructs PeopleSoft to execute the PeopleSoft jobs as configured in JAMS. The process can then be monitored, canceled and restarted in either PeopleSoft or JAMS.

JAMS Integration Overview and Process Flow

The JAMS Integration for PeopleSoft consists of two parts:

1. The JAMS components that capture information about any PeopleSoft processes that you want to schedule and . . .
2. An Application Engine process called MVP_SCHDPRCS that schedules the jobs through the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler API, monitors and cancels the job when necessary.

The following diagram illustrates the detailed process flow of the JAMS Integration for PeopleSoft.
