A developer creates a batch Apex job to update a large number of records, and receives reports of the job timing out and not completing.
What is the first step towards troubleshooting the issue?
Check the asynchronous job monitoring page to view the job status and logs.
Check the debug logs for the batch job.
Disable the batch job and recreate it with a smaller number of records.
Decrease the batch size to reduce the load on the system.
When troubleshooting batch Apex jobs:
Asynchronous Job Monitoring:
Navigate toSetup > Apex Jobsto view the status of the batch job.
Provides information such as success, errors, and total execution time.
This step is crucial to diagnose whether the issue is with system limits, batch size, or specific records.
Debug Logs:
After identifying the issue in the job monitoring page, use debug logs to pinpoint specific errors or bottlenecks.
B. Check the debug logs for the batch job: Debug logs are a secondary step after checking the job status.
C. Disable and recreate with fewer records: Premature without investigating the root cause.
D. Decrease the batch size: Adjusting batch size is a solution but only after identifying the cause of the timeout.
