1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Question
An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Microsoft SQL Server database for the Citrix site database. The administrator plans to use Citrix Cloud Migration Service to migrate the site configuration. Which statement about the migration of the site database is true?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the SQL database is migrated or replicated to Citrix Cloud, when in fact only the configuration data is extracted and imported.
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 site database is not migrated; instead, the configuration data is extracted and imported into Citrix DaaS.
The correct answer is that the site database is not migrated; instead, the configuration data is extracted and imported into Citrix DaaS. Citrix Cloud Migration Service reads the on-premises site database and transfers the configuration to Citrix Cloud. The SQL database itself remains on-premises or can be retired if the site is fully migrated. This approach avoids the complexity of migrating the database and ensures a clean transition to Citrix DaaS's internal database.
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 site database is not migrated; instead, the configuration data is extracted and imported into Citrix DaaS.
Why this is correct
Citrix Cloud Migration Service extracts the configuration data from the on-premises site database and imports it into Citrix DaaS. The on-premises SQL database itself is not migrated or used by Citrix Cloud. This allows the administrator to move the site configuration to the cloud without needing to maintain the SQL database. The on-premises database can be decommissioned after migration if the site is fully migrated.
- ✗
The site database is automatically migrated to a Citrix-managed SQL database in Citrix Cloud.
Why it's wrong here
The site database is not automatically migrated to a Citrix-managed SQL database. Citrix Cloud Migration Service migrates the configuration data, such as applications, policies, and machine catalogs, but it does not migrate the SQL database itself. The on-premises SQL database remains on-premises if the site is kept as a resource location. If the site is fully migrated to Citrix DaaS, the database is replaced by Citrix Cloud's internal database.
- ✗
The site database is replicated to Citrix Cloud using SQL Server transactional replication.
Why it's wrong here
SQL Server transactional replication is not used to migrate the site database to Citrix Cloud. Citrix Cloud Migration Service does not support or require replication of the SQL database. The migration is a one-time extraction and import of configuration data. Transactional replication would require a persistent connection and is not part of the Citrix Cloud migration process.
- ✗
The site database must be manually backed up and restored to a Citrix Cloud-managed SQL instance.
Why it's wrong here
There is no Citrix Cloud-managed SQL instance that administrators can access or restore a database to. Citrix DaaS uses a multi-tenant database service that is managed by Citrix. Administrators do not have direct access to the database. The migration process does not involve backing up and restoring the SQL database to the cloud; instead, it extracts configuration data and imports it into Citrix DaaS.
