This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS using the SAP Landscape Reorganization (LaMa) tool. Which TWO actions can LaMa perform during the migration?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Migrate SAP systems from on-premises to AWS with minimal downtime.
LaMa is designed to orchestrate system migrations with minimal downtime by automating the cloning and replication process. It uses storage-level snapshots or database replication to keep the source system running until the final cutover, which is why Option B is correct.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Perform a heterogeneous system copy.
Why it's wrong here
LaMa focuses on homogeneous migrations or system copies.
✓
Migrate SAP systems from on-premises to AWS with minimal downtime.
Why this is correct
LaMa orchestrates the migration process.

✗
Convert the source database from Oracle to SAP HANA.
Why it's wrong here
Database conversion is done by other tools like DMO.
✓
Provision AWS EC2 instances and storage automatically.
Why this is correct
LaMa can call AWS APIs to create infrastructure.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is confusing LaMa's homogeneous copy capability with heterogeneous migration or database conversion, leading candidates to select A or C, which require separate tools not part of LaMa's feature set.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
LaMa leverages AWS APIs to provision EC2 instances and storage automatically (Option D) by reading the source system's landscape definition and creating matching target resources. During migration, LaMa uses storage snapshot replication (e.g., EBS snapshots) or database log shipping to minimize downtime, then orchestrates the final cutover by stopping the source and activating the target.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
