Managed File Transfer Automation Software
Struggling with unreliable file transfers across your workflows? JAMS eliminates fragmented data movement by centralizing file transfer control with automated retry mechanisms, dependency checking, and comprehensive compliance logging. Supporting all standard protocols including FTP, FTPS, SFTP, S3, and SCP.
Unify, Monitor, And Audit Every File Transfer In One Platform
JAMS makes managing file transfers an integrated part of your business and IT workflows. By incorporating file transfers with advanced job scheduling, you’ll be able to automate file transfers and ensure your data flows quickly, reliably, and securely.
JAMS file transfer features provide:
Centralized control: Define and run every file transfer job from a single platform, with real-time status visibility.
Event-driven automation: Automate job triggers based on file arrival, API calls, messages, or job completion events.
Proactive monitoring: Leverage alerts and auto-retries to facilitate rapid issue resolution and minimize manual intervention.
Robust compliance: Immutable logs and role-based access control for strong audit trails and secure operations.
Enhanced productivity: Streamline development and management with reusable script templates.

Deploy JAMS Managed File Transfer Automation
Here is a practical sequence for implementing JAMS as your file transfer solution.
Initial Setup
Initial Setup
Review these steps for how to set it up:
Install the scheduler: Choose your deployment model — on-premise or in the cloud, on AWS, or on Azure, and follow the installation guide to configure the JAMS database, web client, and thick client.
Plan topology and access: Set up folders, roles, and permissions. Establish naming conventions, parameters, and calendars to maintain consistent definitions and ensure clarity. Also, configure the credential vault to remove hardcoded secrets.
Deploy agents: Install JAMS agents on Windows and Linux hosts that run your jobs and define queues and resources.
Create or Move a Job into JAMS
Create or Move a Job into JAMS
Create or move jobs into JAMS as needed, implementing automation one process at a time:
Configure integrations: Connect built-in integrations, including SAP, SQL databases, Azure Data Factory, PowerShell, and Python. Test connections and capture return codes and logs.
Define jobs: Create job definitions with timeouts, exit code handling, retries, and notifications. Externalize variables and credentials to simplify promotion across environments.
Orchestrate workflows: Build multistep sequences with dependency checking and conditional logic. Add event triggers for files, emails, or API calls so jobs start from real system signals.
Add monitoring and SLA guards: Use centralized monitoring and the diagram view to see workflow state and upstream dependencies. You can configure alerts and diagnostics to surface jobs that may impact SLAs.
Migrate existing schedules: Use the conversion utility to import schedules, exceptions, credentials, and job sources from popular scheduling tools. Review flagged edge cases, such as complex dependencies, and address them with migration services if needed.
Test and Promote
Test and Promote
Run sample workloads in a non-production folder. Inject failures, validate retries and notifications, review run history, and audit entries. Promote to production using consistent names, parameters, and calendars.
Manage Promotion Jobs
Manage Promotion Jobs
To manage promotion jobs:
Tune and promote: Use diagnostics to optimize performance and adjust queues and resource limits. Standardize calendars and maintenance windows to stabilize throughput and reduce noise.
Extend with APIs and MFT: Automate programmatically through the REST API and .NET API. Use the managed file transfer client for reliable file movement within workflows.
