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
✓
Perform a takeover to the target system to finalize migration.
To minimize downtime during an SAP HANA migration to AWS using HSR, it is critical to replicate data in advance. Pre-provisioning the target HANA instance on AWS ensures the infrastructure is ready (C). Configuring HANA System Replication between source and target enables ongoing data synchronization (E). Performing a takeover to the target system finalizes the migration with a quick cutover, minimizing downtime (B). Disabling backups on the source (A) is risky and does not reduce downtime, and manually copying data files (D) is unnecessary because HSR handles the replication.
Answer analysis

Why it's wrong here
Backups are important for data protection.
- ✓
Perform a takeover to the target system to finalize migration.
Why this is correct
Takeover switches production to the target with minimal downtime.
- ✓
Pre-provision the target SAP HANA instance on AWS.
Why this is correct
Reduces setup time during cutover.
- ✗
Manually copy data files to AWS before starting replication.
Why it's wrong here
HSR handles replication; manual copy is not needed.
- ✓
Configure HANA System Replication between source and target.
Why this is correct
