AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 103

A company is planning to retire a data center where a few legacy SAP applications run. The applications are SAP R/3 4.6C with a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database end are running on Windows Server 2008. The applications are outside the extended maintenance period. There is no SAP support for the applications.

The company has no plans to upgrade the applications or move the applications to a different platform. The company does not have a policy to maintain installation media for any of the applications. The company wants to migrate the applications to AWS.

How can the company migrate the applications to AWS?

Answer options

• A. Use AWS Launch Wizard for SAP to launch the applications on AWS. Migrate the applications by using backup and restore.
• B. Perform an SAP system copy from the source to the target by using SAP Software Provisioning Manager.
• C. Use AWS Application Migration Service to migrate the applications.
• D. Manually install the applications on AWS. Perform a database synchronization from the source to the target.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because AWS Application Migration Service is specifically designed for migrating applications to AWS, making it suitable for this scenario. Option A is incorrect since AWS Launch Wizard is not primarily focused on migration, but rather on deployment. Option B is not applicable as an SAP system copy requires a supported environment and is not feasible given the lack of support for the legacy applications. Option D is also not ideal as manual installation and synchronization could lead to inconsistencies and is not the most efficient migration method.
