On troubleshooting the HR api's you can use the pyupip logging mechanism . This would allow you to pinpoint what stored procedure section is being executed when the error ocurred.
set serveroutput on
spool trace.log
begin
hr_utility.set_trace_options ('TRACE_DEST:DBMS_OUTPUT');
hr_utility.trace_on;
-- your code here
hr_utility.trace_off;
Exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
hr_utility.trace_off;
END;
spool off
