PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
A company is migrating a large SAP landscape to AWS. The migration plan includes using AWS CloudEndure Migration for the application servers. However, the SAP database requires a different approach. Which database migration method is recommended for an SAP HANA database?
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 (HSR).
The recommended method for migrating an SAP HANA database is SAP HANA System Replication (HSR). HSR provides a database-aware, block-level replication with near-zero downtime, making it ideal for SAP HANA migrations. Option A is incorrect because AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) is used for converting schemas between different database engines (e.g., Oracle to Amazon RDS), not for HANA-to-HANA migration. Option B is incorrect because AWS CloudEndure Migration performs host-level replication and lacks database consistency features required for SAP HANA. Option C is incorrect because AWS DMS does not support SAP HANA as a target database; it is used for heterogeneous migrations to AWS database services.
