2093210 - Error – “[Internal System Error encountered while importing record]” when importing Job Info data file - Employee Central

Symptom

  • When attempting to import a Job Information data file you encounter an error indicating “[Internal System Error encountered while importing record]”. The format of the import file conforms to the Job Info import template.

Environment

  • Employee Central

Resolution

  • This issue may be caused by problems associated with the manner in which “events” in the standard pick list are listed. There are several reasons this could occur:

1. The event associated with the import record does not exist in the event pick list

2. The event associated with the import record is not “ACTIVE” in the event pick list, for example “DELETED”

3. The event does not have the correct external code specified in event the pick list

4. Some of the standard events either do not exist or are not “ACTIVE” in the event pick list

To correct the problem ensure:

1. All standard events exist in the events pick list

2. All Events have a status of “ACTIVE” in the events pick list

3. All external codes event codes are listed appropriately in the event pick list in accordance with the Standard Pick List shown in additional information below.



Additional Information:

  • For pick lists, the Import engine expects the pick list label to be specified . This is true for most pick lists with the exception of the following, where the external code defined in the data model needs to be specified:

● AddressType (in Address)
● Event in EventReason Foundation object Import
● JobRelationships.

  • The standard Event pick list appears below:
