Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads (Page 8 )

Updated On: 9-Feb-2026

Your company has an on-premises SAP environment.

Recently, the company split into two companies named Litware, Inc. and Contoso, Ltd. Litware retained the SAP environment.

Litware plans to export data that is relevant only to Contoso. The export will be 1.5 TB.

Contoso builds a new SAP environment on Azure.

You need to recommend a solution for Litware to make the data available to Contoso in Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements:

Minimize the impact on the network.

Minimize the administrative effort for Litware.

What should you include in the recommendation?

  1. Azure Import/Export service
  2. Azure Migrate
  3. Azure Data Box
  4. Azure Site Recovery

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When moving SAP data to Azure, there are several methods you can use.
* Export/import--database information is exported to your on-premise file systems and imported to Azure resources. This method provides full control over what data is moved, how, and when. It enables you to move data when your host systems are heterogeneous, such as using different database configurations or operating systems. It also requires less bandwidth than transferring the database as is, allowing you to compress data to around 20-40% of the database size.
* Etc.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:


  1. See Explanation for the Answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: 24 hours
Recovery point retention: It is used to hold the copy of the virtual machine in time with retention that is how long (in hours), the retention window can be kept for each recovery point of a virtual machine. The replicated virtual machines can be recovered to any point in this 24-hour window, and 24-hour retention is supported for machines replicated to premium storage.

Box 2: 60 minutes
RPO threshold: It is used to specify the recovery point objective (RPO) limit. This value specifies how often data recovery points are created.

In this case, the RPO threshold is set to 60 minutes.

Note: Recovery point objective (RPO) is defined as the maximum amount of data as measured by time that can be lost after a recovery from a disaster, failure, or comparable event before data loss will exceed what is acceptable to an organization.



You have an on-premises deployment of SAP on DB2.

You plan to migrate the deployment to Azure and Microsoft SQL Server 2017.

What should you use to migrate the deployment?

  1. db2haicu
  2. SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA)
  3. DSN1COPY
  4. Azure SQL Data Sync

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

You can migrate IBM Db2 databases to Azure SQL Database, by using SQL Server Migration Assistant for Db2.
Incorrect:
Not A: Db2 high availability instance configuration utility (db2haicu) is a text-based utility that you can use to configure and administer your highly available databases in a clustered environment.
Not C: You can use DSN1COPY to copy data from an image copy of the data sets of a table space to the data sets of a table space on the same subsystem or another subsystem.



You have an on-premises SAP production landscape.

You plan to migrate to SAP on Azure.

You need to generate an SAP Early Watch Alert report.

What should you use?

  1. Azure Advisor
  2. SAP HANA Cockpit
  3. SAP Software Provisioning Manager
  4. SAP Solution Manager

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

You can size the target Azure environment for the migration.
Note: SAP EarlyWatch Alert is an automatic service analyzing the essential administrative areas of an SAP system. Alerts indicate critical situations and give solutions to improve performance and stability.
Incorrect:
Not B: SAP HANA Cockpit, aptly named after the control-center of an aircraft, serves as a single point of access for managing SAP HANA systems. The cockpit provides tools for database administration and monitoring, user management, system starts and stops, and system configuration.

Not C: Software Provisioning Manager offers the execution of many system provisioning tasks and covers a broad range of platforms and products, both on the ABAP and the Java technology.
Not D: SAP Solution Manager (sometimes referred to by admins as "SolMan") is an application lifecycle management (ALM) platform used to implement, maintain, and integrate SAP systems; troubleshoot issues; and keep things running securely, cleanly, and smoothly.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation for the Answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: Yes
Set up synchronous database replication through Oracle Data Guard between the databases to ensure consistency and allow low RTO & RPO service times in case if individual failures.

Box 2: Yes
Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2) is certified on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (Standard, Datacenter, and Essentials Editions), which includes support for the database client, server, and Oracle Real Application
