A landscape includes a non-ABAP side application and a BI repository that the vendor says can use PostgreSQL. The team wants to run them on Aurora PostgreSQL-compatible. What must be confirmed first?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D
SAP support follows a published product, database, operating system and release matrix, not engine compatibility. Aurora is wire compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL, but compatibility only means drivers and SQL behave similarly; it does not make SAP certify the combination. A component can be placed on Aurora when its own matrix lists PostgreSQL or MySQL, and that must be checked for the exact release. ABAP suites such as S/4HANA or BW require HANA and are outside this option.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wire compatibility is a technical property of the engine; it does not create SAP certification or support entitlement.
- B. Multi-AZ improves availability. It says nothing about whether SAP supports the database product for that application release.
- C. The operating system of the application tier is unrelated to the database support matrix and does not make Aurora certified.
