Attribute Data Type Changes
Each attribute in an object is defined as a specified type. When type changes occur, the use of the attribute in a filter or result attribute may or may not impact your existing control incidents.
The following business object attributes were updated from a string type to a long type:

Additionally, the Audit - Rating Levels object has the following attributes updated from a double type to an integer type:

NOTE: If you use attributes in your control results where data size or type changes occur, your incidents may be impacted. These attribute changes may cause some to be closed and recreated for attribute values previously truncated due to character length. Delivered library content models that use some of these attributes include 60008 and 60009, where Audit - Data Role business object is used.
Business Benefit
Updates to audit business objects are made to support and maintain alignment with records in Setup and Maintenance > Manage Audit Policies.
Steps to Enable
When you use business objects that introduce changes to attributes, you must run the Transaction Data Source Synchronization job. Business objects with changes require that the data synchronization job to be run in order to return the related values. Depending upon the number of business objects you are using across models and controls, the data synchronization job may take a little longer than usual.
