SAP Certified Application Professional – Financials in SAP S/4HANA for SAP ERP Finance Experts (2021) — Question 17

Which technologies help you decrease data volume in the SAP HANA database? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Archiving
• B. Indexing
• C. Storing
• D. Aging

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Archiving helps in reducing data volume by moving less frequently accessed data to a different storage location, thereby freeing up space in the main database. Aging refers to the process of identifying and managing data based on its age, allowing older data to be archived or deleted, which also contributes to reducing data volume. Indexing and Storing do not directly decrease data volume; indexing improves data retrieval speed, while storing simply refers to keeping data in the database.
