AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 61

A company is running SAP on anyDB at a remote location that has slow and inconsistent internet connectivity. The company wants to migrate its system to AWS and wants to convert its database to SAP HANA during this process. Because of the inconsistent internet connection, the company has not established connectivity between the remote location and the company’s VPC in the AWS Cloud.
How should the company perform this migration?

Answer options

• A. Migrate by using SAP HANA system replication over the internet connection. Specify a public IP address on the target system.
• B. Migrate by using SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move. Use an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device to transfer the SAP export files to AWS.
• C. Migrate by using SAP HANA system replication with initialization through backup and restore. Use an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device to transfer the SAP export files to AWS.
• D. Migrate by using SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to transfer the SAP export files to AWS.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it combines the use of SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) with the AWS Snowball Edge device to facilitate the transfer of large amounts of data in an environment with poor internet connectivity. Option A is incorrect as it relies on the internet connection, which is not reliable in this scenario. Options C and D do not utilize the most effective method for transferring data given the constraints, with D also depending on internet access through Amazon EFS.
