Batch job gets stuck at "executing" state

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 60

Hello,

the batch job to completely reset the Entity Store has been getting stuck in the executing state a few times.
Those times the cubes won't update until someone sets the state of the job to "cancelling" manually. Why does this happen and how can we solve this?

If there is no direct solution to this problem we would be happy with a custom alert that triggers when the batch job has been in the executing state for too long.
Is it possible to create this in an on-premises environment with onboard methods?

Thank You for your help,
Jakob

    I'd log a Microsoft support ticket.  I've seen numerous cases of issues with the Full reset batch job and Microsoft support has been required for resolution in every case.  The job seems somewhat unstable.

    Hi Jakob, 

    Since we are talking about an On-premises implementation ( LBD = Local Business Data) Please open a support request with us. 

    You can use my name to get the case assigned to me if you are working EMEA hours. 

    Thanks,

    AlexG

    Hi Jacob,

    There are some standard batch jobs in D365FO (e.g. Data cache refresh batch) that mostly have "Executing" status and this is misleading that if the batch job is working. especially when the batch job start date 

    start date is a few days in the past but that is basically when the batch service has last restarted and since then the job has executed continuously – which can be by design.

    You can raise a support ticket to get a clarification from Microsoft.
