Question 4
As a result of solution mapping, business capabilities might require services which partners have implemented in SAP BTP. Which SAP components and services, if any, are required to integrate such BTP partner services with an on-premise SAP S/4HANA system (hybrid scenario)?
Answer : C
In a hybrid scenario, where business capabilities require services which partners have implemented in SAP BTP and an on-premise SAP S/4HANA system, the following SAP components and services are required to integrate such BTP partner services with the on-premise system:
SAP Cloud Connector:The SAP Cloud Connector is a software component that allows you to connect your on-premise SAP systems to SAP BTP. The Cloud Connector provides a secure connection between your on-premise system and SAP BTP, and it also makes your on-premise system available to applications and services in SAP BTP.
SAP BTP Destination Service:The SAP BTP Destination Service is a service that provides a single point of entry for accessing on-premise systems from SAP BTP. The Destination Service makes it easy to manage and secure connections to on-premise systems, and it also provides a way to federate data from different on-premise systems.
In order to integrate BTP partner services with an on-premise SAP S/4HANA system, you will need to install the SAP Cloud Connector on your on-premise system and register the Cloud Connector with SAP BTP. You will also need to create a destination in the SAP BTP Destination Service for your on-premise system. Once you have done this, you will be able to access the on-premise system from applications and services in SAP BTP.
It is important to note that you can also use other SAP components to integrate on-premise systems with SAP BTP. However, the SAP Cloud Connector and the SAP BTP Destination Service are the most commonly used components for this purpose.
Question 5
As Chief Enterprise Architect, you want to select an extension option that follows SAP's clean-core strategy. What are your recommendations to implement the clean-core strategy best?
Answer : A
The clean-core strategy is a SAP initiative to keep the core of SAP S/4HANA as clean as possible by moving customizations and extensions to the side-by-side layer. This allows SAP to more easily deliver new releases of S/4HANA without having to worry about breaking custom code.
There are two main ways to extend SAP S/4HANA:
Developer Extensibility:This allows developers to extend the core of SAP S/4HANA by modifying the source code. This is not allowed under the clean-core strategy.
Side-by-Side Extensibility:This allows developers to extend SAP S/4HANA by creating new applications that run alongside the core system. These applications can communicate with the core system using public APIs.
The following are the benefits of using Side-by-Side Extensibility:
Flexibility:Side-by-Side Extensibility allows developers to extend SAP S/4HANA in any way they see fit.
Scalability:Side-by-Side Extensibility can be scaled to meet the needs of any organization.
Maintainability:Side-by-Side Extensibility is easier to maintain than Developer Extensibility, because custom code is not embedded in the core system.
Therefore, the best way to implement the clean-core strategy is to use Side-by-Side Extensibility. This will allow you to extend SAP S/4HANA in a flexible, scalable, and maintainable way.
Question 6
Green Elk & Company is the world's leading manufacturer of agricultural and forestry machinery. The former company slogan "Elk always runs" has recently been changed to "Elk feeds the world" One of Green Elk's strategic goals is to increase its revenue in the emerging markets of China, India and other parts of Asia by 80 % within three years. This requires a new business model that caters to significantly smaller farms with limited budgets The CIO asks you, the Chief Enterprise Architect, to present an architecture vision to address the aforementioned business challenge. According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, what is the best approach?
Answer : B
According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, the best approach to addressing a business challenge through an architecture vision would be:
Identify the stakeholders, their concerns, and business requirements to create a comprehensive stakeholder map. This step is crucial to ensure that the architecture will address the needs of all parties involved.
Confirm and elaborate on business goals, business drivers, and constraints to clearly understand the objectives and limitations that the architecture must operate within.
Evaluate the enterprise capabilities and assess the readiness for business transformation to determine if the organization has the necessary resources, processes, and technology to support the new business model and achieve the strategic goals.
This method ensures that the architecture vision is aligned with the business strategy, that stakeholder needs are adequately addressed, and that the company is prepared for the changes that will come with the new business model.
Reference = These steps are foundational to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework process and are detailed in SAP's EA documentation, particularly in the sections concerning the development of an architecture vision aligned with business strategy.
Question 7
Your company adapts SAP's Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M) as an Integration Solution Playbook. In your role as Lead Enterprise Architect, you are asked to decide which integration approach to take for this solution. Which of the following approaches is recommended by SAP ISA-M for identifying an integration solution and strategy?
Answer : C
The best answer for the integration approach to take for this solution isC. According to the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M), which is a methodology offered by SAP that helps enterprise architects define an integration strategy for their organizations and derive related integration guidelines, the recommended approach for identifying an integration solution and strategy is:
Document and review the existing integration (architecture). This step involves documenting and analyzing the current state of the integration landscape, including the integration scenarios, technologies, patterns, standards, and governance processes. The goal is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the existing integration (architecture) and identify the gaps and improvement areas.
Scope focus areas, for example future required building blocks. This step involves defining and prioritizing the focus areas for the integration project, such as new or changed business requirements, integration scenarios, or technologies. The focus areas are derived from the gaps and improvement areas identified in the previous step, as well as from the business goals and drivers of the organization. The focus areas are also mapped to future required building blocks, which are logical components that represent the desired capabilities or functionalities of the integration solution.
Identify architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns). This step involves identifying and describing the use-cases that are relevant for the integration project, such as process integration, data integration, user integration, or thing integration. The use-cases are technology agnostic, meaning that they do not specify any particular technology or service for implementation. The use-cases are also clustered in use-case patterns, which are generic templates that capture the common characteristics and requirements of similar use-cases.
Map these use case patterns to integration technology. This step involves mapping the use-case patterns to suitable integration technologies or services that can implement them. The mapping is based on a set of criteria and decision tables that consider various aspects of the use-case patterns, such as complexity, performance, security, or scalability. The mapping also takes into account the existing or planned integration technologies or services in the organization's landscape.
Define Integration Best Practices. This step involves defining and documenting the best practices and guidelines for designing, developing, testing, deploying, monitoring, and governing the integration solutions. The best practices and guidelines are based on SAP's recommendations and industry standards, as well as on the organization's specific needs and preferences. The best practices and guidelines also cover various aspects of the integration project, such as naming conventions, error handling, logging, tracing, or versioning.
Enable a Practice of Empowerment. This step involves enabling and empowering the different roles and personas involved in the integration project, such as integration architects, developers, testers, operators, or business users. The goal is to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation among the stakeholders, and to provide them with the necessary skills, tools, and resources to execute their tasks effectively and efficiently.
The other options (A and B) are not correct for the integration approach to take for this solution, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the steps in the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M). For example:
Option A is not correct because it does not include identifying architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns), which is a key step to define and categorize the integration requirements in a generic way. It also does not include enabling a practice of empowerment, which is a key step to ensure the success and sustainability of the integration project.
Option B is not correct because it does not include documenting and reviewing the existing integration (architecture), which is a key step to understand the current state of the integration landscape and identify the gaps and improvement areas. It also does not include scoping focus areas or mapping use case patterns to integration technology, which are key steps to define and prioritize the future state of the integration solution.
