The message provides information about the job's XDB ID, its current status, the expected end time, and the last update time. Here’s a breakdown of the components and potential solutions:
  Cause:
  
  Job Status: The job with the specified XDB ID is in a status that is not expected (e.g., it may be running longer than anticipated, stuck, or failed).
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database performance issues, such as locks, deadlocks, or resource contention.
  Configuration Problems: Misconfigurations in the job scheduling or database settings may lead to unexpected job behavior.

  Resource Allocation: Ensure that the database server has adequate resources (CPU, memory, disk I/O) to handle the workload.
  Configuration Review: Review the job configuration and scheduling settings to ensure they are set up correctly.
