Results. update not allowed for field 'HcmEmployeeEntity.PersonnelNumber' Error while copying data to Target

Posted on by

Could someone suggest a solution as to how to resolve the following issue while copying the data from staging to Target. Though I have updated the value of Manual field to yes in the  'Personnel1' Number sequence code form. But when I upload the data to staging it works fine but when I validate and run the job to copy the data to Target the job fails. The following error is displayed.

Results. update not allowed for field 'HcmEmployeeEntity.PersonnelNumber'

Thanks

    The demo data is probably what is making this fail. The employer data is shared accros entities, so when you try to push your employers in production, you get the error because the demo-data is already there. I have wrote a short blogpost about shared data in Talent; https://malinsdynamics365fortalent.com/2018/10/22/mb6-898-describe-how-data-is-shared-and-separated-per-company-in-dynamics-365-for-talent

    If you try to export it with the Excel add-in I think this will confirm it.

    Hi

    yes I have demo data but I created a separate legal entity and then tried pushing the data through import. I will try using excel add in.

    Thanks

    Do you have demodata in your production environment? I think that the data is trying to update some information. I recommend that you use the Excel add-in to first see the data you have registered, perhaps that will give you the answers on why it's failing. If that doesn't work, try to copy the data from the excel add-in from stage, and copy it in to the Excel add-in, in the production environment.

    Read my blogpost about the Excel add-in here; malinsdynamics365fortalent.com/.../mb6-898-describe-and-use-the-microsoft-excel-add-in-with-dynamics-365-for-talent

    Hope this helps!

    In Data Under System Admin->Data Management

    Select Employee entity and load the excel file with matching header information

    Once mapping is complete click Import

    Data gets loaded into staging

    Click on View Staging data

    Click on Validate All  from the header

    And then click on Copy Data to Target link from the header

    Error message is displayed
