Important Notes:

In DC66 this change will be done only for EC Payroll as per the schedule listed above, as other SuccessFactors modules in DC66 were already completed in 2023.
All Akamai customers will experience the change in their preview and production environments only after Akamai has updated the new TLS settings on April 11, 2024.
Non-Akamai customers will experience the changes as per the above schedule. This list may include integrations and applications such as Jam, RMK, Mobile, Payroll, WFA, and Boomi applications that do not pass through Akamai domains. Customers must check their own URLs to verify if they are using Akamai or not.
All changes are non-disruptive and will not require downtime.
