Environment

Cause
This enhancement is released in 2105 so that time related entries in the database are stored in one particular time zone.
It also remove some discrepancy we had with the dates seen in UI and in the reports in the past because of the some application and database server in different time zones.
Resolution
As part of the enhancement, the Product had decided to add new columns to the existing tables and labelling it as Timestamp
Please find the list if column labels changed as part of this enhancement. The old columns would still be available in the reports

These Columns label changes should not have any issues with the already existing integration and also do not have any behavioral changes.
It is also recommended to use the new columns going forward to see the date timestamp data in the reports.
Note: If the Adhoc reports are being used in an integration, the integrations should also be updated to read data from new fields with new labels and date & time format.
Some SFAPIs have new additional fields defined to accurately reflect the date and time. Please consume the new fields when working with SFAPIs identified below:
Entity Name | Original Field | New Field |
JobRequisition | jobCloseDate | jobCloseDateTime |
dateCreated | dateTimeCreated | |
startDate | startDateTime | |
endDate | endDateTime | |
JobApplication | lastModifiedForAppStatus | LastModifiedForAppStatusDateTime |
hiredOn | hiredOnDateTime | |
exportedOn | exportedOnDateTime | |
applicationDate | applicationDateTime | |
reviewDate | reviewDateTime | |
AssessmentOrder | createdDate | createdDateTime |
lastModifiedDate | lastModifiedDateTime | |
JobPosting | postStartDate | postStartDateTime |
postEndDate | postEndDateTime | |
postExpirationDate | postExpirationDateTime |
