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
✓
The target EC2 instances and storage must be prepared in advance.
SAP DMO requires that the source system is on a supported SAP NetWeaver release and that the target AWS infrastructure (EC2, storage) is prepared. The source database does not need to be stopped; DMO can run online. A separate AWS account is not a prerequisite. A direct network connection is recommended but not strictly required.
