Azure Automation Runbook fails to complete with no error

I’m attempting to run a backup of an API Management service. I can do this in PS from my local machine without issue using the code below under my sub owner login context.

When I attempt to run it as a runbook, I only get back:

Suspended
The runbook job was attempted 3 times, but it failed each time.  Common reasons that runbook jobs fail can be found here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-troubleshooting-automation-errors

There are no errors, only the above.

I’ve tried to run under user and system assigned identity, without any difference in outcome.

    $method="UA"
    $apiManagementName="xxxx-Prod";
    $apiManagementResourceGroup="xxxx-Prod";
    $storageAccountName=xxxxstorage";
    $storageResourceGroup="xxxations";
    $containerName="xxxxbackups";
    $blobName="prodnpapim.apimbackup"
    $date = (Get-Date).ToString("yyyyMMdd")
    $outputBlobName = "$($date)$($blobName)"
    
    $identityName = "xxxx-OPS-MID";
    $identityResourceGroup = "xxxxtions";
    
try
{
    "Logging in to Azure..."
    Connect-AzAccount -Identity
}
catch {
    Write-Error -Message $_.Exception
    throw $_.Exception
}

$storageKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $storageResourceGroup -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName)[0].Value

$storageContext = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageKey

"Starting backup"

try{
    Backup-AzApiManagement -ResourceGroupName $apiManagementResourceGroup -Name $apiManagementName `
        -StorageContext $storageContext -TargetContainerName $containerName -TargetBlobName $outputBlobName
}
catch{
    "Backup-AzApiManagement error"   
    exit
}

Without any errors, I’m stuck – given it works fine in local PS.

Where am I going wrong?

    I 'fixed' the problem.

    I had to perform the following steps.

    Import the modules I needed.

    Import-Module Az.Accounts
Import-Module Az.ApiManagement
Import-Module Az.Storage

    Disable Context Save

    Disable-AzContextAutosave -Scope Process

    Set Context

    $AzureContext = (Connect-AzAccount -Identity).context

$AzureContext = Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName $AzureContext.Subscription -DefaultProfile $AzureContext

    This is using system-managed identity

    You are missing an opening " where you define storageAccountName

    $storageAccountName=xxxxstorage"

    Not sure if that’s a syntax error pasting to SO or if that would be the same within your actual runbook.

    If it fails after that still then you would have to use more Write-Output statements and verbose logging in your runbook job to identify where the problem is between each step.
