3353113 - What is the impact on WFA after moving to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)? - WFA on Hana and SQL

Symptom

What is the impact on WFA after moving to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)? - WFA on Hana and SQL

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics

Resolution

With the UTC migration in mind there was a process set up by engineering team and product management to minimize the impact on the UTC migration.

WFA on SQL: BizX automation used for the analytics solution WFA on SQL will be migrated seamlessly to honor TPT (Tenant Preferred Timezone) with no customer impact.​

WFA on HANA: The following identified notes is only related to non-UTC customers (and does NOT impact UTC customers):​

After the UTC conversion for WFA on HANA tenants with an active data load schedule, the SAP migration team will conduct an initial and incremental load from WFA data factory (post-migration activity) with minimal customer impact.​ After the UTC migration WFA stores all Timestamp in TPT (Tenant Preferred Timezone). Computations and filter applications are done assuming TPT,  Data is then represented “as is” in the UI. ​

As mentioned, WFA on HANA requires a post migration activity to redo the initial (and incremental) load which is required to ensure the delta update is working fine.​ This post migration activity will be done by the SAP migration team for WFA on HANA tenants which indicate a successful initial load and a successful incremental load that is not older than 3 days.​ All other WFA on HANA tenants where the last incremental load is older than 3 days or not successfully, must be taken care after the UTC migration by the customers. ​That means impacted customers must redo an initial load themselves using the WFA Data Factory (that is also otherwise done by customers).
