I am currently facing an issue regarding execution missing data. I currently updated to latest published version 1.103.2 (Which on n8n official repository is still a pre-release curiously).
This is the error occuring to multiple executions.
Worker errored while running execution 37137 (job 470)
Worker failed to find data for execution 37137 (job 470) (execution 37137)

This error appears when attempting to process a queued job, but failing to load data from the database or store. GitHub Issue #12535 suggests that the error arises when the execution was deleted or never saved correctly, and the worker can’t find the corresponding data.

### Bug Description
Production workflows execution with a worker started output… ing the error below. Although I have tried to check for Redis and postgres connection based on correct credentials, the instance still complains.
```
Problem with execution 116: Worker failed to find data for execution 116 (job 147). Aborting.

### Expected behavior
I expected to run without this error.
### Operating System
Ubuntu 22.04
### n8n Version
1.74.0
### Node.js Version
18.16.0
### Database
PostgreSQL
### Execution mode
queue
Other threads also report that if an execution is canceled or orphaned in Redis, it could block the queue and generate the same error.
I recommend checking:
Data integrity in Redis/Postgres.
Centralized queue configuration.
Enable DEBUG logs.
Issue OP is myself. The error occurs even before the node execution, i.e., it does not even start manually. Example: Schedule and Webhook Nodes triggering fail without passing data through.
Additionally, which actions should be performed for below suggestions?
Data integrity in Redis/Postgres.
Centralized queue configuration.
Enable DEBUG logs.
