SAP C-DBADM-2601 Exam : SAP Certified - Database Administrator - SAP HANA

A regional university administration team maintains SAP HANA for student services analytics. After a minor configuration update, SAP HANA cockpit shows the database as running, but the scheduled administrative job that confirms configuration status reports "not executed." The job owner still has access, and the configuration worksheet shows the expected values entered before the update.
The constraint is that the administrator must confirm whether the configured state was actually validated after the change. The operations lead will not accept manual worksheet entries as proof that post-change administration checks were completed.
Which action best resolves the validation gap?

• A. Confirm the database is running and close the change because the job owner still has access.
• B. Re-enter the expected configuration values from the worksheet and mark the job status as complete.
• C. Execute or reschedule the administrative validation job, confirm the active configuration result, and update the change record with the post-change evidence.
• D. Assign a different job owner so the administrative job has a fresh authorization context.

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

CHALLENGE 4 - Close Recovery Readiness Gate
The sponsor asks whether the first close package can be approved now because backups completed and reports loaded successfully. The administration lead can either approve now or delay briefly to complete recovery evidence for the systems in scope. Which path is most defensible?

• A. Delay briefly to complete recoverability evidence before first close sign-off.
• B. Approve now because report loading and backup completion satisfy close-cycle needs.
• C. Approve now and attach recovery validation to the later SAP HANA Cloud transition plan.
• D. Cancel the close rehearsal because recovery validation was not completed before reporting began.

CHALLENGE 2 - Mixed Landscape Administration Boundary
The analytics group asks to use the SAP HANA Cloud database for early reporting because the on-premises database has been stable after the upgrade. The cloud environment is provisioned, but its administration validation record is separate and not complete. What is the best response?

• A. Delay all cloud reporting planning until hypercare is formally closed for every on-premises database.
• B. Approve early reporting because on-premises stability proves the mixed landscape is operational.
• C. Copy the on-premises validation record into the cloud package and proceed with early reporting.
• D. Complete environment-specific validation for the SAP HANA Cloud database before approving reporting movement.

A regional consumer packaging company is rehearsing migration from SAP HANA on-premises to SAP HANA Cloud. The transfer completes, and the cloud target can be queried. During review, the administrator finds that validation results were captured from a temporary administrator account used only for the rehearsal. The planned operations team will use a different cloud administration identity after cutover, and no checks have been run with that identity.
The constraint is that the migration wave must prove repeatable post-migration administration, not only successful rehearsal access. The team wants the same validation pattern to be reused for later migration waves.
Which recommendation is most appropriate?

• A. Approve the rehearsal because the temporary administrator account proved that the cloud target can be queried.
• B. Keep the temporary administrator account for production cutover so the successful rehearsal procedure remains unchanged.
• C. Run the target administration checks with the planned operations identity, record the results, and approve only after those checks pass.
• D. Repeat the data transfer with the same temporary account to confirm that target query access is consistent.
