3740651 - Tenant Preferred Time Zone does not work with Calculated File Name in Integration Center

There is a requirement to use the preferred time zone in calculated file names while generating files through Integration Center. However, the file name does not reflect the preferred time zone.

• SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
• • Integration Center

1. Instance Tenant Preferred Time Zone is set to a local time zone.
   • For example: IST (GMT +05:30).
2. Create an Integration center job and go to the Destination Settings.
3. Generate calculated file name in Destination setting. (Using <now>, <today>)
4. Schedule the IC job to run daily.
   • Set the job run time to just after midnight (local time).
   • Example: Date: 20 April 2026
                    Time: 12:02 AM
                    Time Zone: Local (IST)
5. Let the job run as per schedule. 
6. Job completes successfully with SUCCESS status.

Expected Result

• Since the job runs on 20 April local time.
• The filename should contain the local date.
• Expected filename: output_20260420

Actual Result

• During execution, <NOW> / <TODAY> is evaluated using UTC time.
• At the time of execution: Local Date: 20 April
                                           UTC Date: 19 April
• Generated output filename: output_20260419

The tenant preferred time zone functionality is supported only for standard SFTP file name configurations.

It is not supported when the file name is configured using a calculated file name in Integration Center.

If the job runs on 20th April at midnight and the file name is configured as a calculated file name using <now> or <today>, the generated file name will display the 19th of April date instead of the tenant’s preferred time zone.

Currently, it is not possible to use the tenant preferred time zone with calculated file names in Integration Center. Tenant Preferred Time Zone configure is only applicable when using SFTP Standard File Naming. This setting does not apply to filenames generated through Calculate File Name in Integration Center jobs. As a result, dynamic filenames created using <NOW> or <TODAY> in IC jobs may reflect the previous date when the job runs around midnight in local time.
