PAS-C01 Operations and Maintenance Practice Question
A company runs SAP on AWS and uses an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to distribute traffic to a fleet of EC2 instances running SAP Web Dispatcher. The operations team needs to implement a health check that verifies the Web Dispatcher is ready to accept traffic. Which THREE configuration options should the team set for the health check? (Choose THREE.)
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
✓
Set the unhealthy threshold to 5 consecutive failures
The health check should target a custom path that validates the application status, use a reasonable interval, and set a threshold for consecutive failures to mark the instance unhealthy. The healthy threshold determines how many consecutive successes are needed to mark the instance healthy. The path should be a specific endpoint like /sap/wdisp/health. The interval and unhealthy threshold are important to detect failures quickly while avoiding flapping.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set the unhealthy threshold to 5 consecutive failures
Why this is correct
This prevents premature marking of instances as unhealthy.
- ✓
Set the health check path to /sap/wdisp/health
Why this is correct
This endpoint returns HTTP 200 when the Web Dispatcher is ready.
- ✗
Set the health check port to 443 (HTTPS)
Why it's wrong here
The port should match the listener port; it is not necessarily 443.
- ✓
Set the health check interval to 10 seconds
Why this is correct
A short interval allows quick detection of failures.
- ✗
Set the healthy threshold to 2 consecutive successes
Why it's wrong here
This is a typical setting, but not always required; the question asks for THREE choices, and this is less critical than the others.
