2. Retain the Job with correct version. Or Cancel all existing Job and schedule the execution Via Integration Center Interface

Note :

If you schedule a Job from provisioning with X version, It will still stay in scheduled state and continues to run until you cancel it from provisioning itself. So always schedule/correct the schedule time of the integration jobs from Integration Center.
