When does the application update stored names with a person name format?

When you update a name format, you run the Apply Name Formats to Person Names process so that the application updates the stored names according to the updated format type rules. You run the process for a specific name format and legislation combination.

You then run the Update Person Search Keywords process followed by the Synchronize Person Records process. For these processes, use the same date as when the Apply Name Formats to Person Names process was run and set After Batch Load to Yes. This is because the last_update_date in the PER_PERSON_NAMES_F table is updated when the Apply Name Formats to Person Names process is run.
