Strange error from timer job service

Question

I'm developing timer job for SharePoint 2010. I was able to deploy it on my local machine but when I was trying to execute timer job I get strange error message:

Job definition SP2010.CopyDocsJob, id 7a0e9bbe-90f1-441f-8e8a-3b918b440436 has no online instance for service SP2010.Features.CopyDocsTimerJob.CopyDocsTimerJobEventReceiver+JobService, id 67649b18-5a00-4420-84fb-cfe7bf90ceeb, ignoring

How to fix this issue? How to make this timer job works?

PS: After deploy I have restarted SP Timer Job service so assembly has been loaded into system.

Take a look at this microsoft article about those errors: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee513069(v=office.14).aspx

Excerpt:

Most Common Job Causes:

SPPasswordManagementJobDefinition

Issue: Password change timer jobs (SPGeneratePasswordJobDefinition) have not been scheduled or updated for farm credentials. Any additions or changes made recently to the password change schedules for any credentials in the farm will not be updated to match the changes until this job completes successfully.

SPGeneratePasswordJobDefinition

Issue: A scheduled timer job to create a new password for a farm credential failed. The current credential value might no longer be valid and has to be updated manually in the Active Directory account. If the credentials for the account are still valid, this timer job should be restarted.

SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition

Issue: The new credentials for the Central Administration Web application pool have not been updated on the local machine to match the current value that was configured for the farm. This might prevent the Central Administration Web application from starting.

SPContentAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition

Issue: The new credentials for the application pool have not been updated on the local machine to match the current value that was configured for the farm. This might prevent the application pool from starting.

SPWindowsServiceCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition

Issue: The new credentials for the service have not been updated on the local machine to match the current value that was configured for the farm. This might prevent the service from starting.

SPMasterPassphraseDeploymentJobDefinition

Issue: The master passphrase for the farm has not been updated on the local machine to match the current value that was configured for the farm. This might prevent decryption or encryption of the farm encryption key until it is updated locally.
