The webjob option does not appear in my webapp

Question

I have a Linux webapp, with the basic tier and we are trying to publish a webjob but the option does not appear in the appservice navigation menu. In the official documentation I have not seen anything related to my problem, can you please clarify this for us?

Hello Romero Martinez, Alberto,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

We are very sorry for the delay in giving you a response to your topic in this forum. If you still have the same inquiry, it sounds like you're encountering an issue with publishing WebJobs on a Linux web app in Azure App Service. Here are a few points to consider:

1. WebJobs Availability: WebJobs for Linux App Services are currently in preview. This means that the feature might not be fully available or visible in the Azure portal for all users.
2. App Service Plan: Ensure that your App Service plan supports WebJobs. While all App Service plans support WebJobs, certain features might be limited or not fully functional in the Basic tier
3. Configuration Settings: You might need to add specific configuration settings to enable WebJobs. For example, adding the WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE app setting and setting its value to true can be necessary
4. Deployment Method: If the option to publish a WebJob is not available in the portal, you can deploy WebJobs using other methods such as the Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or by uploading the WebJob files directly through FTP or the Kudu console

In case you need the information used as a reference: Run background tasks with WebJobs in Azure App Service.
