You design a Solution Architecture, based on SAP S/4HANA, for an internationally active customer that has a national subsidiary in China and other countries that have special requirements for data storage. As the responsible Enterprise Architect, your task is to propose a solution that takes these special requirements into account. How do you proceed when your customer's Architecture Guideline calls for following a "cloud-first" approach?
A. This is independent of the solution components required, because SAP S/4HANA Cloud and all SAP SaaS solutions meet all applicable data protection requirements, Private cloud or on-premises options therefore do not need to be considered. The "cloud-first" approach can be fully implemented.
B. This depends on the required solution components. None of the selected SAP solutions may support the regulated environment, so alternative solutions or custom developed solutions should be considered.
C. This depends on the required solution components. Public cloud solutions may not meet the necessary data protection requirements. Therefore, private cloud or on-premise options must be considered when developing the solution landscape.
Why would you recommend building SAP Side-by-Side Extensions to an S/4HANA system based on SAP BTP?
A. Extensions on SAP BTP technology can easily use of S/4HANA eventing.
B. Extensions on SAP BTP can maintain SAP user and security context and allow the use of S/4HANA eventing.
C. Extensions should be built on SAP BTP because SAP BTP is the only option for building a consistent user experience based on SAP Fiori UX styles.
As an Enterprise Architect, you must ensure that future extensions to the Digital Core of the enterprise guarantee stable and reliable operations. The architecture guideline demands to follow the clean-core strategy. What does this demand ensure and entail?
A. Extensions do not break an upgrade, and upgrades do not break an extension. Such extensions can access SAP business objects only through well defined, upgrade-stable interfaces.
B. Extensions may access SAP tables directly and in a well-documented, clean way. Therefore, the code of extensions can be adapted quickly to accommodate future changes.
C. Extensions are kept strictly separate from the SAP application, Extensions are developed in accordance with the SAP Application Extension Methodology. Side-by-side extensibility options are always preferable to on-stack extensibility options.
As the Chief Enterprise Architect of your company you have been asked by the CIO to apply agile principles instead of following the sequential phases of TOGAFS ADM. How do you respond?
A. The SAP EA Framework combines the sequential approach of the TOGAF?ADM with agile principles Agile principles are included and can be applied only to Application Architecture. Therefore, the SAP EA Framework is especially suitable for organizations that follow agile principles.
B. It is reasonable to apply an agile methodology for the most urgent tasks and switch to the process as guided by the SAP EA Framework later, as long as the fundamental IT architecture is not affected Collecting "low-hanging fruit, and realizing instant value before using the SAP EA Framework, and ensuring an overall successful transformation is possible.
C. It is essential to fully understand the business needs and to successfully review the business architecture with critical stakeholders before going to the next phase. In the implementation phase, agile approaches can naturally provide quick wins, constant progress, and the benefit of early validation. The phased approach, during architecture definition phases, avoids double work and will lead to overall better results.
D. The TOGAF?ADM already embraces agile principles within and across phases and generally follows a cyclic approach. The SAP EA Framework builds on that and is especially suitable for organizations that follow agile principles.
