JAMS Scheduler Release Notes

V7.8.1 – October 8, 2025

IMPORTANT: Before downloading and upgrading to JAMS V7.7.2 or higher, please review Managing the JAMS Database and consult with your organization’s SQL Database Administrator. Microsoft requires changes to SQL Database connections. Ensure the common.config file in JAMS is updated accordingly, if needed, before proceeding with an upgrade.

New Features

Desktop Client

Added a new Connection Store item and Execution Method to run pipelines in Azure Data Factory.

Web Client

Added functionality to the new, early-access JAMS Web Client. See the Download the early-access JAMS Web Client page for the new installer. Uninstall any previous versions of the early-access JAMS Web Client before installing this newer version. The existing Web Client is available from within the JAMS installer.

Enhancements

Installer

Updated to add support for Windows Server 2025.

Integrations

Updated the SAP .NET Connector to version 3.1.5.0 to get the latest fixes and functionality.

Scheduler

Combined SQL version code to use SQL 2019 assemblies that provide support for older versions. This eliminates the need to specify the SQL version with a JAMS Parameter.

Fixes

Agent

Resolved an issue where Jobs may get stuck after establishing connection with Windows Outgoing Agents following a transient network outage.
Updated to recover from connection issues, added connection timeouts, and improved memory cleanup.
Resolved an issue where Jobs may get stuck for Connect on Demand Agents following a transient network outage.

Desktop Client

Resolved an error that occurred when opening the “Status Per Day Chart” report.
Resolved an issue where Encrypted Variables would become unencrypted when copied. Copying an encrypted variable to an older server will now clear the value instead of saving the decrypted value. Copying between servers with this fix will retain the value and it will remain encrypted.
Resolved an issue where releasing failed entries to run again may cause the Jobs to stay in the Waiting for Resources state.
Improved the Automate Credential property text to align it with the formatting used for the Azure Credential property.

Integrations

Updated Regex to properly detect z/OS Jobs that end with no RC code.

Scheduler

Improved the JAMS Server to watch for events from the JAMS Scheduler Service.
Improved memory cleanup.
Improved the performance of copying Job logs from the default log location to the common log location.
Resolved an issue where the Set-JAMSParameter cmdlet would complete before the Parameter value was updated.
Resolved an issue where Jobs running on an incoming/Interactive Agent would fail after a JAMS failover.
Resolved an issue where using the “Wait for all” setting on a Job Dependency resulted in the entry not being released after the completion of the Jobs being depended on.
Updated the Scheduler to stop repeating an entry if JAMS was unable to load the Job when attempting to start it.
