Troubleshooting

Use this page to debug common issues in local and production environments.

Jobs are not executing

  • Confirm worker process is running.
  • Confirm job is registered and discoverable.
  • Check run status via IDurableJobRunQueryService.
  • Verify provider connection and migrations completed.

Unexpected retry behavior

  • Verify MaxAttempts for the job.
  • Check RetryBehavior, delay, and jitter settings.
  • Confirm exception path actually throws when retry is desired.

Lease contention or duplicate-appearing work

  • Confirm unique WorkerName per process/container.
  • Validate LeaseDurationSeconds is not shorter than typical execution time.
  • Review long-running handlers for heartbeat extension timing risks.

Missing telemetry or hosted observability data

  • Confirm Eventing.TenantId and Eventing.ClientSecret are set.
  • Verify outbound connectivity to ingestion API.
  • Trigger a known run and confirm event flow end to end.

Runtime commands are not applying

  • Confirm worker is running with Eventing.RuntimeControlEnabled=true.
  • Verify Eventing.IngestionApiBaseUrl points at the API environment that hosts runtime control.
  • Confirm worker can reach Eventing.RuntimeControlSyncPath (default /v1/runtime/control/sync).
  • Check that tenant credentials (Eventing.TenantId, Eventing.ClientSecret) match the tenant where commands are issued.
  • Ensure target schedule exists with the same jobName used by the command payload.

Command appears in history but failed

  • schedule_not_found: command referenced a job name not present in worker registration.
  • invalid_payload: required fields were missing (jobName, enabled, cronExpression, timeZone).
  • unsupported_command_type: runtime version does not support the command type sent.
  • schedule_run_blocked: run-now was rejected by schedule/runtime guard conditions.

If failures persist, compare runtime package version and hosted platform feature expectations to ensure they are aligned.
