Error in import set, failed to load data and gives error like: "Operation against file 'hr_task' was aborted by Business Rule 'Transform synchronously

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

While performing synchronous data import using import set API, sometimes the import gets fail with following error message.

"Operation against file 'hr_task' was aborted by Business Rule 'Transform synchronously^e2c571a7dbf0d810a142a57305961982'. Business Rule Stack:Transform synchronously,ValidateChanges"

Cause

Before calling the import API, enable the business rule debug using "glide.businessrule.callstack" in sys_properties table and perform the import. After enabling the business rule debug, from the application node logs we could see the business rules that are being called during the transform. 

Sample log  before debug:
