PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
A company is migrating a SAP system to AWS and wants to use the same SAP system ID (SID) as on-premises. What is a prerequisite for this migration?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume the SID must be changed or registered with AWS, but the actual prerequisite is uniqueness within the AWS account and region, not a global or external registration.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The SID must be unique within the AWS account and region.
SAP requires that the System ID (SID) be unique within an AWS account and region to avoid conflicts with existing SAP systems. During migration, the same SID can be reused as long as no other SAP system with that SID exists in the same account and region, ensuring proper system identification and integration with AWS services like Amazon EFS or Amazon FSx for SAP.
