PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question

A company is migrating a critical SAP HANA database to AWS. They have a limited migration window and need to ensure data consistency. Which migration approach should they use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Use SAP HANA System Replication to replicate data to a target HANA system on AWS.

SAP HANA System Replication with HLI or EC2 allows near-zero downtime and data consistency. Heterogeneous migration with DMS and SCT is for different database engines. Backup and restore may have longer downtime. SAP Landscape Transformation is for system consolidation, not direct HANA migration.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Use AWS Backup to restore the latest backup of the HANA database to an EC2 instance.

    Why it's wrong here

    Backup and restore may cause longer downtime and potential data loss.

  • ✓

    Use SAP HANA System Replication to replicate data to a target HANA system on AWS.

    Why this is correct

    SAP HANA System Replication provides near-zero downtime and data consistency.

  • ✗

    Perform a heterogeneous migration using AWS SCT and AWS DMS.

    Why it's wrong here

    Heterogeneous migration is for moving to a different database engine, not HANA to HANA.

  • ✗

    Use AWS DMS with ongoing replication from the source HANA database to an Amazon RDS for HANA instance.

    Why it's wrong here

    AWS DMS does not support HANA as a target; Amazon RDS for HANA is not available.
