SAP C_DBADM_2601 : SAP Certified - Database Administrator - SAP HANA

CHALLENGE 4 - Recovery Validation Before Hypercare Closure
The team can either close hypercare on schedule with completed backup evidence or extend hypercare by one day to include recovery validation and startup behavior documentation. Which path is most defensible?

• A. Extend hypercare by one day to include recovery validation and startup behavior evidence.
• B. Close on schedule because meeting the hypercare date is the strongest governance outcome.
• C. Cancel the planned cloud reporting transition because recovery validation is still pending.
• D. Close hypercare and attach recovery validation to the later SAP HANA Cloud transition plan.

CHALLENGE 3 - Reporting Performance Evidence Control
Morning shift-handover reports run slower than expected, and the monitoring summary uses some threshold references from the pre-upgrade reporting profile. The field-service group asks for immediate tuning before hypercare closure. What should the administrator do first?

• A. Tune memory and workload settings immediately because field-service reporting has business priority.
• B. Disable the older threshold references so the summary shows only current availability status.
• C. Close hypercare because the database is available and only one reporting window is affected.
• D. Validate monitoring thresholds against the current post-upgrade reporting profile before deciding on tuning.

CHALLENGE 2 - Mixed Landscape Administration Boundary
The operations lead reviews the mixed SAP HANA landscape and sees three evidence sets: on-premises availability after upgrade, cloud database provisioning, and planned reporting transition scope. Which sequence best supports transition planning?

• A. Approve transition scope first, then complete cloud validation during the first reporting execution.
• B. Treat provisioning as the final cloud validation step, then approve reporting movement based on on-premises availability.
• C. Use only the cloud provisioning record because the future reporting workload will not remain on-premises.
• D. Validate on-premises operations, validate cloud administration state separately, then approve the reporting transition scope.

A manufacturing firm uses SAP HANA Cloud for analytics and an on-premises SAP HANA system for operational reporting. After a weekend parameter change, users report that a recurring operational report now completes, but much more slowly than before. Monitoring shows the database is available, CPU is elevated during the report window, and memory consumption remains within expected limits. A junior administrator proposes increasing system resources immediately.
The team lead wants the least disruptive action first because the slowdown affects only one workload pattern, not the entire database. The administrators can review runtime indicators and configuration settings through the available administration tools.
Which action is the best first step?

• A. Increase database resources first because the higher CPU usage proves the current sizing is no longer sufficient.
• B. Compare the changed configuration with current workload behavior and validate whether the parameter shift altered execution characteristics for that report pattern.
• C. Roll back the recent parameter change immediately without validating whether it is linked to the report slowdown.
• D. Restart the affected database so that the report executes with a clean runtime state and lower CPU utilization.

CHALLENGE 3 - Cloud Migration Readiness Separation
The modernization lead wants the SAP HANA Cloud database included in the same release readiness status because it is provisioned and has a limited activation dataset. The cloud environment has not completed the startup, monitoring, or recovery evidence package used for active UAT systems. What is the best response?

• A. Include the cloud database in the same status because provisioning and limited data show progress.
• B. Use the upgraded reporting system's monitoring record as the SAP HANA Cloud readiness record.
• C. Stop cloud planning until the current UAT release decision is fully completed.
• D. Keep cloud migration evidence separate until cloud-specific administration validation is completed.
