If your problem is not solved yet, please try the below changes. This works with Spring Boot-3, Spring Batch -5 and JDK 17.

1. Spring batch: jdbc: initialize-schema: ALWAYS
2. Remove @EnableBatchProcessing annotation
3. Create a custom bean with ResourcelessJobRepository

@Configuration public class AvoidMetaDataConfiguration extends DefaultBatchConfiguration {

@NotNull
@Bean
public JobRepository jobRepository() {
    return new ResourcelessJobRepository();
}

}
