Symptom
- You have enabled General display name option in your SuccessFactors system and have a standard program for sending data from SAP HCM to SuccessFactors: RH_SFI_SYNCHRONIZE_EMPL_DATA, this program has an option to send data via Middleware (via API).

- Issues arise when a First name or Last name of an employee is changed.
