A company will move an SAP system from Oracle to SAP HANA and must also perform the Unicode conversion. Which SAP tool covers the database change and conversion in one run?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
SUM with DMO is SAP's supported path for a heterogeneous migration to HANA. It combines the software update, the database migration, and the Unicode conversion in one controlled procedure. It exports from the source database and imports into HANA while the shadow system is prepared, and it keeps a reset path until the migration completes. AWS DMS and SCT move relational data and schemas but do not perform SAP's Unicode conversion or ABAP repository conversion.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. DMS replicates tables and changes between databases; it does not run SAP's Unicode conversion or handle ABAP repository conversion.
- C. SCT converts schemas and procedural code between database engines, but it is not an SAP system migration tool and does not perform the SAP conversion steps.
- D. SE38 is the ABAP editor and cannot perform a database platform migration or Unicode conversion.
Exam tip. SAP database migration plus Unicode conversion is a SUM and DMO job, not a generic AWS data tool.
