SAP Certified - Database Administrator - SAP HANA - C-DBADM-2601 Exam Practice Test

A regional sports merchandise company runs SAP HANA for order trend analytics. SAP HANA cockpit shows the database as available, but the operations team notices that one monitoring view reports normal CPU behavior while another workload history view shows a short spike during the same reporting interval. Users report that dashboards were slow only during that interval. A support analyst proposes increasing capacity because the workload history view shows a peak.
The constraint is that the administrator must reconcile conflicting monitoring evidence before recommending a configuration or capacity change. The next reporting cycle must remain available while the cause is validated.
Which action best fits the observed monitoring conflict?

A specialty manufacturing firm is planning its first SAP HANA migration wave to SAP HANA Cloud. The administrator completes a rehearsal using a limited source scope so the team can test the migration process quickly. The transfer completes, but post-migration checks show that several administration validation items were excluded because they were not part of the rehearsal scope. The project sponsor wants to use the result as approval for the production migration window.
The constraint is that the administrator must support incremental modernization without overstating what the rehearsal proved. The next decision must be based on validated migration evidence, not only on a successful limited transfer.
What should the administrator recommend?

CHALLENGE 3 - Quota and Source Coordination for Multi-Vendor Materials
The sourcing lead wants to preserve vendor-sharing for priority materials so the first live week has more resilient coverage. A plant buyer wants to simplify those same materials to a single vendor during cutover because the order path looks more stable. Which option is most appropriate?

A regional environmental testing company operates SAP HANA on-premises for laboratory turnaround analytics and is preparing a separate SAP HANA Cloud environment for migration rehearsal. During an administration review, the landscape worksheet shows one shared "administration owner" for both environments, but the operational evidence comes from different tools. SAP HANA cockpit confirms the on-premises system status, while SAP HANA Cloud Central confirms the cloud database status. The worksheet does not show which owner must act on each environment-specific alert or readiness item.
The constraint is that the administrator must make the landscape worksheet actionable without changing the assigned team structure. The handover must distinguish current operations from cloud migration readiness.
Which action best resolves the landscape ownership issue?

A regional public transit operator maintains SAP HANA for ridership analytics while preparing an SAP HANA Cloud environment for a later modernization wave. During an administration review, the architecture register lists both environments under one "database platform" entry. SAP HANA cockpit confirms the on-premises database is available, and SAP HANA Cloud Central confirms the cloud database is running, but the register does not identify which administration tasks belong to the active workload and which belong to the cloud rehearsal path.
The constraint is that the administrator must make the architecture register usable for operational decisions without changing the landscape. The handover must clearly distinguish current administration scope from future migration readiness.
Which action best improves the architecture register?

CHALLENGE 2 - Release Control Timing for Urgent Replenishment Orders
A project reviewer notes that urgent replenishment orders can still be created and progressed under both of the following conditions: one path uses the common approval structure, and another path uses locally reduced approval handling. The business asks which path should guide go-live readiness. Which answer is best?

A regional airport services company operates SAP HANA on-premises for baggage-flow analytics and is assessing an SAP HANA Cloud target for a later migration wave. During an architecture review, the administrator finds that the environment map lists both databases under one "analytics database" entry. SAP HANA cockpit evidence exists for the on-premises database, while SAP HANA Cloud Central evidence exists for the cloud target. The map does not identify which database supports the current operational workload and which database is only in migration preparation.
The constraint is that the administrator must make the environment map usable for operational decisions without removing either database from scope. The map must separate active administration from migration-readiness tracking.
Which action best resolves the architecture mapping gap?

A wholesale distributor is preparing an SAP HANA maintenance activity for an on-premises database. The administrator runs the upgrade preparation checks before the approved window. The tool output shows the target revision is acceptable, but a preparation check flags insufficient free space in the temporary working area used during upgrade execution. The database remains available, and the application team asks whether the activity can proceed because the software package itself has already been staged.
The constraint is that the administrator must avoid starting an upgrade that can fail mid-execution and leave operations without a clean validation result.
Which action best supports a controlled upgrade start?

A regional chemicals distributor is preparing an SAP HANA installation handover for a newly built on-premises administration environment. The installation process completed, and the database starts successfully. During handover review, the administrator finds that the installation record confirms software setup but does not include evidence that backup scheduling and monitoring checks were enabled for the new system. The infrastructure lead wants to accept the environment because startup was successful.
The constraint is that the administrator must confirm the installed system is ready for routine administration before handover. The decision must include post-installation operational controls, not only installation completion.
Which action best supports the handover decision?

A digital publishing company operates SAP HANA for subscriber activity reporting. Users report that dashboards are available, but refresh times vary sharply during the morning reporting window. SAP HANA cockpit shows no service outage, while monitoring history shows a recurring peak in expensive statement activity from a reporting workload. The database team is asked to increase system capacity immediately because the reports are business-critical.
The constraint is that the administrator must identify the execution pattern before recommending a capacity or scheduling change. The business requires stable refresh times, but the system must remain available during investigation.
Which action best fits the observed performance evidence?

CHALLENGE 4 - Regional Release Recovery Assurance
Backups completed for the upgraded central SAP HANA system and the newly installed remediation database before testing began. Recovery validation for the remediation database is scheduled but not complete, and the upgraded system has only backup completion evidence. What should happen before regional release approval?

A regional textile manufacturer is preparing an SAP HANA lifecycle update rehearsal for an on-premises database. The database is available, and the update package has been staged. During the final review, the administrator finds that the rollback checkpoint in the runbook still references the previous rehearsal's backup timestamp. The current backup completed successfully, but the rollback section was not updated before the approval meeting.
The constraint is that the rehearsal must begin only after rollback evidence matches the current lifecycle activity. The administrator must prevent execution from starting with a recovery reference that belongs to an earlier rehearsal.
What should the administrator do before approving the lifecycle update rehearsal?
