Disable Spring Batch Jobs

Question

I was wondering if there's a way to enable/disable all of defined spring-batch jobs programmatically? For instance when I deploy my app, the database is empty and at that moment my jobs are running and throwing exceptions. I would like to have the jobs disabled until some data is populated in the database (until certain tables appear). Is this possible?

Have you take a look at this question? How Spring Boot run batch jobs You can disable the job at startup by adding spring.batch.job.enabled=false to application.propertiesfile.
Then you can use the JobLauncher to run the job when your database is initialised.
