An administrator is preparing for an SAP S/4HANA conversion using the Software Update Manager (SUM) with the Zero-Downtime Option (ZDO). To ensure the procedure can be executed with minimal business disruption, several critical prerequisites must be met on the source system. Which of the following conditions are mandatory for a successful ZDO execution? (Select TWO)
During the import of a transport request into the Quality Assurance (QAS) system, the process terminates with return code 12. Analysis of the import log reveals the error message "Object is locked in task ". The task belongs to another transport request that has not yet been released from the Development (DEV) system. What is the most appropriate action to resolve this issue?
An administrator is configuring an SAP Web Dispatcher to balance load across three S/4HANA application servers for a stateful SAP Fiori application. It is critical that once a user starts a session, all subsequent requests from that user are routed to the same server. Which parameter must be set in the Web Dispatcher profile to achieve this session stickiness?
A financial services company is experiencing significant performance degradation in its SAP S/4HANA system. The system runs on a 4TB SAP HANA scale-up appliance. A preliminary analysis reveals the following: - The system's resident memory usage is consistently above 90%. - SAP HANA Cockpit shows frequent delta merges on the ACDOCA table, causing high CPU load. - The 'HANA_Tables_LargestTables' SQL check indicates that the column store size of ACDOCA is 1.8TB. - Business users report slow response times, especially during month-end closing activities when data loading and reporting are at their peak. Given this scenario, what is the most effective multi-pronged strategy to address both the immediate performance issues and ensure long-term stability?
An administrator is troubleshooting a Fiori application that fails to load data for a specific group of users. Other users can access the app without issue. Using the browser's developer tools, the administrator sees that an OData service call returns an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error. The system alias for the Gateway service is correctly configured. What is the most likely cause of this error?
True or False: In a standard S/4HANA high-availability (HA) cluster configuration, the `/sapmnt/ ` directory must be located on shared storage that is concurrently accessible by all active and passive application server nodes.
An administrator is performing a homogeneous system copy of an S/4HANA system using the SWPM database-specific method (backup/restore). After successfully restoring the database backup to the target server, what critical, database-independent step must be performed before starting the SWPM post-load activities to ensure system consistency?
A project requires that changes for a new financial module follow a specific test path (DEV -> TST -> QAS) before being merged into the main transport path (DEV -> PRE-PRD -> PRD). All systems are in the same transport domain. How should the transport layers and routes be configured in STMS to enforce this separation? ```mermaid flowchart LR DEV -- ZFIN Layer --> TST -- ZFIN Layer --> QAS DEV -- SAP Layer --> PRE_PRD[PRE-PRD] -- SAP Layer --> PRD subgraph Project Path TST QAS end subgraph Mainline Path PRE_PRD PRD end ```
A security audit has mandated stricter password and logon policies for a company's SAP S/4HANA system. An administrator needs to implement these changes using instance profile parameters. Which parameters should be configured to enforce a minimum password length, prevent password reuse for the last 5 passwords, and lock a user after 3 failed logon attempts? (Select THREE)
An SAP HANA scale-out system fails to start after a network interruption. The `nameserver.trc` file for multiple nodes contains errors related to 'topology inconsistency' and 'split-brain'. The system cannot determine the master `nameserver`. What is the correct command-line procedure to force the designation of a master `nameserver` and recover the system?
