Updates to MVS tables

For Release 7.1.0, MVS database tables have been updated due to development of new features and refactoring of existing features. This topic provides information about the tables added, removed, and changed to help migrate your existing code. This information is provided for reference purposes only.

General statement on accessing data in WFM

Customizations should use internal Java services to access data in WFM. Customizations should not directly access the information stored in database tables. Java services can be used to access most, if not all the data, in the WFM database tables.

New tables

These tables have been added as of this release:

ES_SHIFT_COMMENT
This table stores shift comments.
