Demo Questions
Question 1
You are evaluating which migration method Litware can implement based on the current environment and the business goals.
Which migration method will cause the least amount of downtime?
- Migrate SAP ECC to SAP Business Suite in HANA, and then migrate SAP to Azure.
- Use Near-Zero Downtime (NZDT) to migrate to SAP HANA and Azure during the same maintenance window.
- Use the Database Migration Option (DMO) to migrate to SAP HANA and Azure during the same maintenance window.
- Migrate SAP to Azure, and then migrate SAP ECC to SAP Business Suite on HANA.
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
The SAP Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move option of SUM, used as part of the migration allows customer the options to perform the migration in a single step, from source system on-premises, or to the target system residing in Microsoft Azure, minimizing overall downtime.References:https://blogs.sap.com/2017/10/05/your-sap-on-azure-part-2-dmo-with-system-move/ The SAP Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move option of SUM, used as part of the migration allows customer the options to perform the migration in a single step, from source system on-premises, or to the target system residing in Microsoft Azure, minimizing overall downtime.

Question 2
You have an on-premises SAP environment that uses AIX servers and IBM DB2 as the database platform.
You plan to migrate SAP to Azure. In Azure, the SAP workloads will use Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server as the database platform.
What should you use to export from DB2 and import the data to SQL Server?
- R3load
- Azure SQL Data Warehouse
- SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- R3trans
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
To migrate DB2 databases to SQL Server, you must connect to the DB2 database that you want to migrate. When you connect, SSMA obtains metadata about all DB2 schemas, and then displays it in the DB2 Metadata Explorer pane.References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssma/db2/connecting-to-db2-database-db2tosql?view=sql-server-ver15 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/biztalk/adapters-and-accelerators/adapter-sap/import-sap-data-using-sql-server-management-studio To migrate DB2 databases to SQL Server, you must connect to the DB2 database that you want to migrate.

Question 5
You are migrating SAP to Azure. The ASCS application servers are in one Azure zone, and the SAP database server in in a different Azure zone. ASCS/ERS is configured for high availability.
During performance testing, you discover increased response times in Azure, even though the Azure environment has better computer and memory configurations than the on-premises environment.
During the initial analysis, you discover an increased wait time for Enqueue.
What are three possible causes of the increased wait time? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- a missing Enqueue profile
- disk I/O during Enqueue backup operations
- misconfigured load balancer rules and health check probes for Enqueue and ASCS
- active Enqueue replication
- network latency between the database server and the SAP application servers
Correct answer: CDE
Explanation:
E: The network latency across Availability Zones is not the same in all Azure regions. In some cases, you can deploy and run the SAP application layer across different zones because the network latency from one zone to the active DBMS VM is acceptable. But in some Azure regions, the latency between the active DBMS VM and the SAP application instance, when deployed in different zones, might not be acceptable for SAP business processes.References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/sap/sap-ha-availability-zones E: The network latency across Availability Zones is not the same in all Azure regions.

Question 7
You migrate SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) production and non-production landscapes to Azure.
You are licensed for SAP Landscape Management (LaMa).
You need to refresh from the production landscape to the non-production landscape.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct answer: To work with this question, an Exam Simulator is required.
Explanation:
Step 1: From the Azure portal, create a service principalThe Azure connector can use a Service Principal to authorize against Microsoft Azure. Follow these steps to create a Service Principal for SAP Landscape Management (LaMa).Step 2: Add permissions to the service principalThe Service Principal does not have permissions to access your Azure resources by default. You need to give the Service Principal permissions to access them.Step 3: From the Cloud Managers tab in LaMa, add an adapter Create a new connector in SAP LaMaOpen the SAP LaMa website and navigate to Infrastructure. Go to tab Cloud Managers and click on Add.

Question 10
You plan to migrate an SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) production system to Azure.
You are reviewing the SAP EarlyWatch Alert report for the system.
You need to recommend sizes for the Azure virtual machines that will host the system.
Which two sections of the report should you review? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- Hardware Capacity
- Patch Levels under SAP Software Configuration
- Hardware Configuration under Landscape
- Database and ABAP Load Optimization
- Data Volume Management
Correct answer: AD
Explanation:
It is important to note that there are 2 types of data collected for Hardware Capacity.Performance Data - e.g. CPU and Memory utilization data.Hardware Capacity data shown in the EWA is measuring CPU and Memory utilization data. This is known as Performance Data.Configuration Data - e.g. OS information, CPU type.It is also collecting system information about the host such as hardware manufacturer, CPU type etc. This is known as Configuration Data.Incorrect Answers:E: Data Volume Management focuses on whether the collection of DVM content for the EarlyWatch Alert report is not performed, not activated, or not possible because the SAP Solution Manager system does not meet the technical requirements.References: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/Hardware+Capacity+Checks+in+EWA It is important to note that there are 2 types of data collected for Hardware Capacity.
