Micro Focus in JAMS

Installing the Micro Focus Add-on

To work with Micro Focus in JAMS, users must install the JAMS Add-on for MicroFocus on the JAMS Scheduler Server, and must install a JAMS Agent and the JAMS Add-on for MicroFocus on the Micro Focus Server. If the JAMS Scheduler and Micro Focus are installed on the same server, an Agent is not required.

Install the Micro Focus Add-on on the JAMS Scheduler Server

• On the JAMS Scheduler Server, run the JAMS Installer.
• On the Feature Selection step, ensure the JAMS Add-on for MicroFocus component is checked in addition to the required components. Do not un-check any components unless those components should be uninstalled.
• Finish the installation.

Install the JAMS Add-on for MicroFocus on the Micro Focus Server
