ORA-20001: HR_6153_ALL_PROCEDURE_FAIL: N, PROCEDURE,   per_grd_shd.constraint_error, N, STEP, 10

Answer 1

Further, If you look into the code of the package procedure per_grd_shd.constraint_error, you would see that the error comes from the constraint violation PER_GRADES_FK2. This foreign key constraint is between the tables per_grades and per_grade_definitions. Thus most probably the error is because of the fact that you are trying to pass a value to the table per_grades which is not present in the table per_grade_definitions. Hence the error.
Hope it helps in understanding as well as resolving the error.
