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 SAP HANA database must be installed and running.
For an SAP System Migration (SUM) to AWS with HANA, the target HANA database must be installed and running (A), the target system must have the SAP kernel and required libraries (B), and source and target must be on the same OS (D) to ensure compatibility. HTTP proxy (C) is not a prerequisite; communication between source and target does not require a proxy. The source system does not need to be fully shut down before starting; SUM can be run with the source system running (E).
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The target SAP HANA database must be installed and running.
Why this is correct
Correct. The target SAP HANA database must be installed and running before starting the migration.
- ✓
The target system must have the SAP kernel installed and appropriate libraries.
Why this is correct
Correct. The target system needs the SAP kernel and appropriate libraries to support the migrated system.
- ✗
An HTTP proxy must be configured for communication between source and target.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. An HTTP proxy is not required for the migration; source and target communicate directly.
- ✓
The source and target systems must be on the same operating system (e.g., both Linux).
Why this is correct
Correct. Source and target must run the same operating system (e.g., both Linux) to avoid compatibility issues.
- ✗
The source SAP system must be fully shut down before starting the migration.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The source system does not need to be fully shut down; SUM can perform migration while the source is running.
