AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 32

A company is running an SAP HANA database on AWS. The company wants to manage historical, infrequently accessed warm data for a native SAP HANA use case. An SAP solutions architect needs to recommend a solution that can provide online data storage in extended store, available for queries and updates. The solution must be an integrated component of the SAP HANA database and must allow the storage of up to five times more data in the warm tier than in the hot tier.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM) with SAP Data Hub to move data in and out of the SAP HANA database to Amazon S3.
• B. Use an SAP HANA extension node.
• C. Use SAP HANA dynamic tiering as an optional add-on to the SAP HANA database.
• D. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM) with SAP HANA spark controller so that SAP HANA can access the data through the Spark SQL SDA adapter.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as SAP HANA dynamic tiering is specifically designed to manage warm data efficiently, providing the necessary integration with the SAP HANA database and allowing for the specified data storage ratios. Options A and D involve external data management solutions that do not offer the required online storage integration, while B does not address the specific need for extended storage capabilities.
