Hi J Lee,

These are upgrade jobs that are triggered when you synchronize a database.

For example, when an update is installed into the environment, it will either execute the update directly or trigger a batch job.

As to why they are in status withhold I don't know. You should not see them.

It can be due to this being a non-prod environment.

You can read more about the framework here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/dev-tools/syssetup

If you want to see code, have a look at this example class: HcmIdentificationTypeAlienUpgrade

There is also a table you can examine: ReleaseUpdateScriptsLog

Thank Jonas.

Yes, it is UAT environment.

As number of batch jobs are executed in PROD environment but i don't know what purpose it is. Also, i haven't any knowledge in development. May you provide me any suggestion?

I don't recall any way to do this from the user interface, or Microsoft publishing any list of upgrade scripts.
