Tip:

In some circumstances, a batch job can fail to complete successfully and not report the error. This might happen if, for example, you abort a batch job that is in progress. If this happens and you want to run the job again, you must first check that the process has definitely failed. If it has, delete the relevant process lock record before running the job again.
