The jobs library is awesome. It provides a great variety of low-code automation steps. Being able to mix and match job steps from different library modules is really powerful. For example, we use the Active Directory, File System and Flow Control job...

JAMS Job Scheduler is one of the most helpful programs that I use. There are so many programs that must be run at specific times, and in specific order and JAMS does it all!

Being Java expert, hard to setup the job due to tightly coupled with windows OS and video tutorials are very high level to know what is the tool about. Without taking tech support this tool is of no use.

What is the best way to retain 10 days of log information on each job. This is one area where the documentation can use recommendations. For example, I want to see how the job performed, via the log, from 10 days ago. Today, the log would show GetFile failed if older than three days, or thereabouts.
