AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 16

A company is planning to migrate its on-premises SAP application to AWS. The application runs on VMware vSphere. The SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) server runs on an IBM Db2 database that is 2 TB in size. The company wants to migrate the database to SAP HANA.
Which migration strategy will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use AWS Application Migration Service (CloudEndure Migration).
• B. Use SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move.
• C. Use AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS).
• D. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) with Database Migration Option (DMO) allows for a direct migration from IBM Db2 to SAP HANA while moving the system. Other options are not tailored for this type of database migration; AWS Application Migration Service and AWS Server Migration Service focus on server migration rather than database migration, while AWS Database Migration Service is not designed to handle the complexity of SAP database migrations directly.
