This documentation bug concerns this page: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/wiki/Spring-Batch-5.0-Migration-Guide Below the text "The BATCH_JOB_EXECUTION_PARAMS has been updated as follows", the new fields in BATCH_JOB_EXECUTION_PARAMS are specified as: NAME VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL , TYPE VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL , VALUE VARCHAR(2500) , However, the field names are actually PARAMETER_NAME, PARAMETER_TYPE and PARAMETER_VALUE. This should be corrected in the migration guide.
