Timezone issue for Delta interfaces in SAP Cloud Platform Integration

[manubhutani]

Hi All,

We have couple of Delta (changes only after last run) interfaces built in SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI/HCI) which pulls data from SuccessFactors (SFSF) Employee Central (EC).

We are storing last run timestamp in SAP CPI so that in next run changes after this timestamp are pulled from SAP SFSF EC. I understand that SAP CPI stores this timestamp in UTC timezone by default. Our SFSF EC Data Center is in another timezone and SAP CPI is in another. Have you worked on such requirement? Have you converted the timezone to SFSF EC timezone in a script before pulling changes only data from SFSF EC?

Regards,

Manu

Hi Manu,

Probably following is what you are looking for

However SF EC sends the data to CPI in UTC timezone, because that's what SAP recommends. (https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/public/en/2617652) hence this is not required to run delta interface
