No jobExecution with id:${executionId} found

Error message

No jobExecution with id:${executionId} found

What it means

MemoryJobRepository.updateJobExecution looks up the existing JobExecution by jobId in its in-memory map and throws JobException when no entry with that id exists. Updates require the execution to have been saved first; the in-memory store is also empty after restart.

Solutions

1. Call saveJobExecution (or create) before updateJobExecution for that id
2. Verify jobExecution.getJobId() is the correct, persisted identifier
3. Switch repositoryType to DB or REDIS if state must survive restarts

Example fix

// before
jobRepository.updateJobExecution(execution); // never saved
// after
jobRepository.saveJobExecution(execution);
execution.setStatus(FINISHED);
jobRepository.updateJobExecution(execution);

// ensure the execution exists before updating
if (jobRepository.getJobExecution(execution.getJobId()) == null) {
    jobRepository.saveJobExecution(execution);
}

try {
    jobRepository.updateJobExecution(execution);
} catch (JobException e) {
    if (e.getMessage().startsWith("No jobExecution with id:")) {
        log.warn("Execution {} missing in memory repository; saving anew", execution.getJobId());
        jobRepository.saveJobExecution(execution);
    } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling updateJobExecution with a JobExecution whose jobId was never put into the repository, or after a JVM restart wiped the memory map.

Common situations: Calling update before saveJobExecution; wrong/ungenerated jobId; in-memory repository used across restarts or across different bean instances in tests; data lost because MEMORY repositoryType is not persistent.
