Question
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
You have a complex SAP environment that has both ABAP- and Java-based systems. The current on-premises landscapes are based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Unicode and Non-Unicode) running on Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server.
You need to migrate the SAP environment to a HANA-certified Azure environment.
Solution: You deploy a new environment to Azure that uses SAP NetWeaver 7.4. You export the databases from the on-premises environment, and then you import the databases into the Azure environment.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No Correct
Explanation
No. A database exported from SAP NetWeaver 7.0 cannot simply be imported into a system running NetWeaver 7.4, because the database content belongs to the older release; the release upgrade has to be performed on the SAP system itself (for example with Software Update Manager) rather than skipped by an export and import. The supported path is to upgrade the systems to a HANA-capable release first and then move them to Azure.
