We recently upgraded our DHIS2 instance to version 2.42.5.1 and have since noticed that our scheduled Aggregate Data Exchange (ADEX) jobs are no longer completing successfully. The jobs show a status of FAILED after each scheduled run.

What We Are Observing:  
After the upgrade, the AGGREGATE\_DATA\_EXCHANGE job is not completing. Checking the job configurations via the API endpoint:

GET /api/jobConfigurations?fields=id,name,jobType,cronExpression,enabled,lastExecuted,lastExecutedStatus

the response shows **lastExecutedStatus: “FAILED”** for the job. I have attached a screenshot of the API response for reference.

We also noticed the following error in the server logs:

“A valid user is required to run the aggregate data exchange job”

What We Have Checked So Far

- The jobs are enabled and have valid cron expressions
- The jobs were running successfully before the upgrade to v2.42.5.1
- No changes were made to the job configurations during the upgrade
- The error message points to a missing user context for job execution

Has anyone experienced a similar issue after upgrading to 2.42.5.1? Are there any known issues, configuration changes, migration steps, or log locations we should investigate to diagnose and resolve this problem?

Thank you!

This does sound a little complex and requires some research and debugging. I have two requests please:

1. Would you share what are the authorities that this user has?
2. Could you please share the entire Catalina.out log (without the authentication/sensitive data)?
