  • CAUSE 2: The candidate record in MPH was copied from production due to a BizX refresh. Candidate record is not available in Onboarding as the Onboarding Account was never refreshed or refreshed but Onboarding candidate data were not retained.
  • CAUSE 3: Information is already present in Employee Profile and it is being added again in Manage Pending Hire like unique constraint violated: Table(EMP_EMAIL_INFO), Index(UC_EMP_EMAIL_INFO_KEY) and Table(EMP_PHONE_INFO), Index(UC_EMP_PHONE_INFO_KEY) by Employee central validation of this email.
