The Global Information (globalInfo) hris-element is missing from the Succession Data Model configuration.

The Global Information (globalInfo) hris-element must be defined in the Succession Data Model configuration. It is not supported to remove it.

This configuration issue likely existed for some time, as it is no longer possible to remove globalInfo nor import a Succession Data Model where it is missing.

In order to resolve the issue, the globalInfo hris-element must be added back to the configuration. This can be done in 2 ways depending on what you have access to -:

Via Business Configuration UI

1. Navigate to Admin Center > Manage Business Configuration
2. In the left navigation panel, look for "globalInfo" and click on it
3. Set "Enabled" to "Yes" and then click Save

Via Succession Data Model xml import

1. Navigate to Provisioning > Import/Export Data Model
2. Export the Data Model > open it in an XML editor
3. Scroll down to the <hris-element> part of the XML and put the "globalInfo" hris-element in. It should be placed after the end of the <hris-element id="personalInfo"> element (after the </hris-element> )
4. Save the XML file and Navigate to Provisioning > Import/Export Data Model > and Import the Data Model
