Multiple Timer Job in the same SharePoint famr solution project shows up with the same Title in Central Admin Job Definiation

Question

I have a SharePoint farm solution in VS2013 for SharePoint 2013. It contains two timer jobs, and each has their own feature definition. Once it has deployed to the development SharePoint server locally, both jobs are showing with the same title in Job Definition.

In the event receiver of each feature definition, in FeatureActivated, I have created a new Job with a different name in code.

Anyone has any idea?

Answer 1

multiple jobs showed in the Jobs defination or multiple jobs run? usually multiple jobs due to more than one content DB in a web App. so if you have morethan one content db then timer job will run multiple time. alos check my response here,i mentioned how to prevent the custom jobs to run multiple time.
