Web Jobs is a feature of Azure App Services that runs a program or script in the same instance as a web app, API app, or mobile app. There is no additional cost to use Web Jobs. Azure Aptify Azure Enablement comes with the ability to run the existing schedule tasks (configured in Aptify Smart Client) on Azure Portal as a Web JobWebJobs.

...

1. Only Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Monthly Relative types of frequencies are supported.

2. Run History Tab on Scheduled Task records will not be updated.

3. Service should always be “Schedule Web Job Only“"on Scheduled Task record to run the task as WebJobWebJobs.

4. The functionality of the checkbox “Delete the task if it is not scheduled to run again“ ” is not in scope for now.

5. The Scale of the job will always be “Single Instance“ ” and Type “Continuous“ ” on Azure Portal, more is discussed in the document below:
