3600376 - Understanding the Transition to Mozilla/IANA MIME Type Standard in SAP SuccessFactors

• Inquiries about the transition from the old MIME type standard to the new Mozilla/IANA MIME type standard in SAP SuccessFactors.
• Uncertainty about the applicability of this change and how to verify it in the system.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

This issue is not reproducible as it is a query about a system-wide change.

The old MIME type standard used in SAP SuccessFactors will be replaced with the new Mozilla/IANA MIME type standard on November 14, 2025.

• All instances are currently using the "old" MIME type standard.
• The new Mozilla/IANA MIME type standard will be replaced automatically on November 14, 2025.
• This transition will not cause any changes in the instance and does not require any action on the customer side.
• It is possible to request an early adoption for this change, which is scheduled to occur in November 2025 by default.

Note :

• Opt-in before 2H 2025:
  You can switch to the new Mozilla/IANA MIME type standard before the 2H 2025 release (November 14, 2025) by raising a ticket with Technical Support.

• Opt-out before November 14, 2025:
  After the 2H 2025 release, the new MIME type becomes the default. If you prefer to keep the old behavior, an opt-out option will be available. Submit a ticket with Technical Support to request it.
