AWS Certified SAP on AWS - Specialty PAS-C01 practice test

1. Question 1 · 1

   A global enterprise is running SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) workloads on Oracle in an on-premises environment. The enterprise plans to migrate to SAP S/4HANA on AWS. The enterprise recently acquired two other companies. One of the acquired companies is running SAP ECC on Oracle as its ERP system. The other acquired company is running an ERP system that is not from SAP. The enterprise wants to consolidate the three ERP systems into one ERP system on SAP S/4HANA on AWS. Not all the data from the acquired companies needs to be migrated to the final ERP system. The enterprise needs to complete this migration with a solution that minimizes cost and maximizes operational efficiency. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Create a staging Oracle database on premises to perform Cross Platform Transportable Tablespace (XTTS) conversion on the Oracle database. Take a backup of the converted staging database. Copy the converted backup to AWS through the Direct Connect connection. Import the Oracle database backup to the SAP system on AWS. Take regularly scheduled incremental backups and XTTS conversions of the staging database. Transfer these backups and conversions to the AWS target database. During the migration window, perform a final incremental Oracle backup. Convert the final Oracle backup by using XTTS. Replay the logs in the target Oracle database hosted on AWS. Switch over to the SAP system on AWS.
   • Before the migration window, launch an appropriately sized Amazon EC2 instance on AWS to receive the migrated SAP database. Create an AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) job to take regular snapshots of the on-premises Oracle hosts. Use AWS SMS to copy the snapshot as an AMI to AWS through the Direct Connect connection. Create a new SAP on Oracle system by using the migrated AMI. During the migration window, take a final incremental SMS snapshot and copy the snapshot to AWS. Restart the SAP system by using the new up-to-date AMI. Switch over to the SAP system on AWS.
