Manually Triggered Azure Webjob is getting triggered more than once. Returning 409 (conflict) error

Question

There is no Azure Scheduler set up for this. This webjob is a jar file which I uploaded from the Azure Portal.

Tell me how to add a settings.job file along with the .jar and .bat zipped pack. I'm hoping this would override whatever is making my job to trigger twice.

Here are the logs:

you can see from the logs its returning 409 error as here its triggering twice. Although I have just triggered it once. Any idea why this is behaving thus?

There are no staging slots also.

Also, when I checked the logs today, without triggering it, they look like this

So you can see its getting triggered every 5 mins. Any idea why this is happening automatically? Is there any scheduler which Iam not aware of?

I managed to put in the settings.job. Here is how it looks:

A little hard to read the logs due to formatting. Can you clean up using proper markdown (see doc)? Also, you say it's manually triggered, but you give no details on how you are actually triggering it. What does your code look like? — David Ebbo
Also, give the full content of any settings.job that you are including in your WebJob. — David Ebbo
David, I have fomatted the logs now. I dont presently have a settings.job.But would you now how to add in one? I think adding in a settings.job file would solve the issue. — Carol
Triggering it through a pipeline using http copy activity. Iam taking the url of this webjob which gets generated on the portal and add it in the linked service of the associated Pipeline. Refer to this: stackoverflow.com/questions/46588080/… which is exactly the same way Iam triggering my webjob. — Carol
Does this app still have this GoogleAn WebJobs? I see 3 WebJobs in there, but none by that name. — David Ebbo

As we know , WebJobs in Azure App Service has two types: Continuous and Triggered.

Continuous WebJobs keeps the job from ending, the program or script typically does its work inside an endless loop. On the other side, Triggered WebJobs is triggerred manually or automatically as schedule. Based on your situation, obviously you're running Triggered WebJobs.

You can access the Kudu address in the browser:

https://<your app name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole.

Then go into the webjobs folder and find the settings.job file:

D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Data\jobs\triggered\sample>

It means my webjobs will be trigerred automaticlly every 5 seconds.

Hope it helps you.

Update Answer:

You could check the settings.job reference which mentioned by @David Ebbo in the comment.

Compare the settings.job you provided, is_singleton and other properties are usage only on Continuous WebJobs.

I created a manually webjob and run it.Don't found any settings.job is generated. I suggest you removing the settings.job and test it again.

Manually Triggered Azure Webjob is getting triggered more than once. Returning 409 (conflict) error
