Symptom
The time zone for Asia/Almaty should be GMT+5, but it is still GMT+6. The outdated time zone can be seen in the system anywhere it is used, for example:
- On the people profile, for users in this time zone,
- In the Data Inspector
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Data Inspector
- Select the "Time zone" table
- Go to the Asia/Almaty field
- See the outdated GMT+6 value
Cause
On 1st March 2024 Kazakhstan officially changed the time zone Asia/Almaty from GMT+6 to GMT+5. This change is not yet implemented into SuccessFactors.
Resolution
Engineering is currently investigating a solution to implement the change into SuccessFactors as soon as possible.
