Symptom
-
Can multiple TLMTriggerTasks (Trigger Tasks) jobs be created in SAP SuccessFactors?
-
Can the execution time of the Trigger Tasks job be changed from the default midnight schedule?
Environment
- SAP Successfactors Employee Central - Time Management
- SAP Successfactors Employee Central - Time Sheet
- SAP Successfactors Time Tracking
Resolution
-
It is not recommended to create multiple instances of the Trigger Tasks job, as this may result in duplicate accrual postings and unintended system behavior.
-
The system is designed to support only one active Trigger Tasks job, which should be scheduled to run once daily.
-
When a single Trigger Tasks job is scheduled, the system will automatically adjust its execution time to run at 12:00 AM (midnight) based on the Tenant Preferred Time Zone.
-
Attempting to manually change the job's execution time will have no effect, as the system will reschedule it back to midnight.
-
Important Notes:
-
You can adjust the Tenant Preferred Time Zone, as outlined in the SAP What's New Viewer article: “Updates to Tenant Preferred Time Zone”
-
However, changing the tenant time zone may have system-wide implications, and such changes are considered a customer-owned decision and action.
-
-
Starting from the 2H2025 release, the system now supports monitoring of the TLMTriggerTasks job directly from the Scheduled Job Manager > Job Monitor.
-
This allows administrators to view the job status without requiring access to Provisioning.
-
-
Despite this monitoring capability, scheduling or modifying the TLMTriggerTasks job still requires access to Provisioning.
-
Job scheduling through the instance UI is not supported, even in the 2H2025 release.
