Resolution

  • Replicate the issue and check the error in console using the Developer Tool.
  • Similar error as following will appear- The following problem occurred: HTTP request failed500,Internal Server Error,{
    "error" : {
    "code" : "ServerErrorException", "message" : {
    "lang" : "en-US", "value" : "Invalid property names: PerPersonal/firstNameAlt1. Please check the property name in Admin Center > OData API Data Dictionary or entity metadata. Ensure there were no data model changes that removed this field, and please execute a refresh metadata to ensure the cache is not corrupted."
    }
    }
    }
  • The Property name would be missing for the respective entity in OData API Data Dictionary. In the above case firstNameAlt1 was missing for PerPersonal entity.
  • The respective field needs to be enabled in Manage Business Configuration page(No need to make mandatory). The first-name-alt1 field under the personalInfo HRIS element was not enabled which caused the above error.
  • Enable any such missing field under the respective HRIS Entity mentioned in the error.
  • For above error first-name-alt1 had to be enabled to resolve the issue.
