New Features in version 2.0
Integration with the IDERA Dashboard
Version 2.0 allows you to register as many instances of your SQL Enterprise Job Manager with the IDERA Dashboard. The IDERA Dashboard provides a platform of services that allow an integrated user experience across multiple IDERA products.
Job Chaining
SQL Enterprise Job Manager now allows you to chain multiple jobs together with created dependencies so that when one job completes, another job is run. This new feature lets the user create and manage job chains for one server or accross multiple servers.
Job Trending
The new Job Trends option lets users get a graphical representation and the estimated trends for job runtimes and execution counts. Users can choose to see the trends for the most frequent jobs, top failures, longest running jobs, and highest percentage duration increase.
Instance Specific View
SQL Enterprise Job Manager now allows users to click any SQL Server instance and access its specific information such as alerts, upcoming jobs, and job history.

SQL Enteprise Job Manager 1.1 Daylight Saving Time (DST) consIDERAtions
IDERA recommends that you upgrade your SQL Enterprise Job Manager to version 1.1 to avoid issues with DST changes.
SQL Enterprise Job Manager 1.0 will run your jobs properly (on the correct scheduled times) after DST (March 8th, 2015), but the Schedule tab may show your jobs scheduled offset by one hour.
Fixed issues in 2.0
- When the server running SQL Enterprise Job Manager is rebooted, users will no longer find that the SQL Enterprise Job Manager Collection service has not started.
