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

Symptom

  • 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.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

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

Cause

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

Resolution

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