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).
- When sending employee's data, this will work when a new employee is exported (display name field filled in correctly, deriving First name and Last name.
- Issues arise when a First name or Last name of an employee is changed.
