If you encounter this error when attempting to load a PeopleHUB file, it is due to a missing required field in the input file.
This error indicates that a field expected by the system is missing (NULL). Specifically, the START_DATE field is either unpopulated or incorrectly positioned in the file. The system requires this field to insert data, and its absence will cause the load to fail.
Error handling overview
When processing PeopleHub files, two types of errors can occur:
Stop Errors: These errors prevent the file (or specific records) from being uploaded due to structural issues in the file format.
Validation Errors: These errors occur when data passes formatting checks but fails internal system validation.
Files that pass both types of checks can be successfully uploaded to PeopleXD.
