2964383 - MDF Field label name Change Doesn't Sync to Employee Profile Header after HRIS Sync (Delta/Daily or Incremental Sync job)

• MDF Field Change Doesn't Sync to Employee Profile Header
• Updated the department name say from d1 to d2 and the latest change (d2) is being reflected in EC related portlets but not in EP or the header information.

• Go to manage data or position org chart
• Select department
• Example: Employee Central Department
• Change department name: 1Employee Central Department
• Save

Result:

• In EC: In Job info: new department display on UI
• New: 1Employee Central Department

Check EP or Header:

• Result: new department did not display (Employee Central Department)
• Still showing (old  department name):Employee Central Department)

This is a known design gap and is working as expected.

HRIS Sync (Delta/Daily or Incremental Sync job) only happens when there is a change in the Job Info (Employment Information) record.

In this case, the Department FO got changed from d1 to d2, but the Job Info (orgFieldsList) record is still the same with the old updated timestamp.

When the incremental sync job runs, it doesn't pull the record to sync EP as there is no change in the respective Job Info (orgFieldsList) record for the user.

In order to fix this concern,

Option 1: If few users: Customer has to update or insert new record via UI or Import for Job Info (orgFieldsList) record of the user where the Delta/HRIS sync updates the data within 10 mins.

Option 2: If several users: Run a Full HRIS Sync job. View: 3044382 - User Based HRIS Sync 2080728 - Employee Central: What is HRIS Sync?

The Full HRIS Sync will only update the users that have a Job Information record with an effective date after the effective date of the MDF change. Example: if the user has the job information effective as of 01/01/2023 and the MDF object was edited with effective date of 02/01/2023, the employee profile information of this user will not be updated. Only users with job information with effective dates after 02/01/2023 will be included.
