Problem
After upgrading from JIRA 6.4.x to JIRA 7, there is a broken DVCS scheduler at the Scheduler Administration page:
ℹ️ This is a result of upgrading from a vanilla JIRA 6.4.3 to JIRA 7.1.9.
Resolution
Simply remove the old scheduler; CompatibilityPluginScheduler.JobRunnerKey.com.atlassian.jira.plugins.dvcs.scheduler.DvcsScheduler. The new scheduler for DVCS is com.atlassian.jira.plugins.dvcs.scheduler.DvcsScheduler and this job will replace the old scheduler job.
Editing and disabling scheduled jobs
Jira no longer allows editing and disabling scheduled jobs on the Scheduler administration page. But you can do it on the backend, through the Jira database.
To do it, you should have System Admin access.
However, if you want to edit or disable any scheduled jobs, we recommend contacting Atlassian Support first.
