Why Spring Boot Batch job is running just one time?

I'm using spring boot. I have a batch job which I've implemented with these classes :

My main class is : 

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.batch")
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class);
    }

}

My scheduler is : 

@Component
@EnableScheduling
public class JobScheduler {

    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 10000)
    public void runJob() {
        SpringApplication.run(MyBatchConfig.class);
    }
}

and my batch configuration class is :

@Configuration
@EnableBatchProcessing
public class MyBatchConfig {

    @Value("${database.driver}")
    private String databaseDriver;
    @Value("${database.url}")
    private String databaseUrl;
    @Value("${database.username}")
    private String databaseUsername;
    @Value("${database.password}")
    private String databasePassword;

    @Bean
    public Job myJob(JobBuilderFactory jobs, Step s) {
        Job job = jobs.get("myJob")
                .incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer())
                .flow(s)
                .end()
                .build();
        return job;
    }

    @Bean
    public Step myStep(StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory, ItemReader<Account> reader,
                      ItemWriter<Person> writer, ItemProcessor<Account, Person> processor) {
        TaskletStep step = stepBuilderFactory.get("myStep")
                .<Account, Person>chunk(1)
                .reader(reader)
                .processor(processor)
                .writer(writer)
                .build();
        step.setAllowStartIfComplete(true);
        return step;
    } ...

now, my problem is :

the scheduler works and it repeats every ten seconds, but the job executes only on application startup(reader, processor and writer just execute once in startup) and it seems that 

SpringApplication.run(MyBatchConfig.class);

has no effect on re-running the job.

what should I do?

Thanks in advance

This is what I can think of,

1.You put this property in application.properties so your batch job doesn't start automatically by call of SpringApplication.run(...) from mainmethod.

spring.batch.job.enabled=false

This will simply initialize your Spring Batch configuration and not actually start job.

2.Put annotation @EnableScheduling on your Spring Boot Batch Job starting class i.e. on Application class in your code.

3.Remove @EnableScheduling annotation from JobScheduler class and call , jobLauncher.run(job, jobParameters) from runJob() instead of calling SpringApplication.run(MyBatchConfig.class).

JobLauncher & Job beans can be auto wired to your scheduler class since context is already initialized.

Hope it helps !!

You need to create JobLauncher bean and use that in scheduler for starting new job instances.
