1. SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP Fiori Flashcards
Which SAP technological product provides the platform required for SAP to
support the digital transformation of an organization?
A. SAPHANA
B. SAP CRM
C. SAP Fiori
D. SAP NetWeaver
A. SAPHANA
SAP HANA is SAP’s default platform to support the digital transformation for
businesses. It’s the cornerstone on which current and future SAP products are
built.
The SAP HANA database relies on which of the following technologies for storing
data? (There are three correct answers.)
A. In-memory
B. Aggregation
C. Indexing
D. Columnar store
E. Compression
A. In-memory
D. Columnar store
E. Compression
In-memory is the most obvious answer here, columnar store is the preferred
SAP HANA data storage technique, and through compression, SAP HANA manages
to cut down on the infrastructure costs and support larger customers. On
the other hand, aggregates are supported but should be avoided as the idea is
to have all the data at the highest granularity to provide flexible reporting. The
same is true for the indices because with SAP HANA, they offer little speed
improvement and sacrifice too much in the way of flexibility as they must be
predefined, and adding reporting characteristics is difficult.
Data in the SAP HANA database is stored in which two ways?
A. Random
B. Vector
C. Column
D. Row
C. Column
D. Row
Column store is the preferred method for SAP HANA as discussed because it’s
better for reading data. Row storage is preferred by classic databases and is supported
fully by SAP HANA.
True or False: In an environment of systems using SAP HANA, you can perform
both OLAP and OLTP processing without duplication of the data for the
SAP BW and SAP ERP systems.
True
SAP HANA was designed to fulfill the goal of combining optimal OLTP and
OLAP processing in one database. This simplifies the process of answering
questions such as “How did I come up with this number” and saves on IT
resources requiring fewer systems to support.
SAP H1-\NA makes extensive use of which high-speed hardware technology to
offer more speed?
A. Read-only memory
B. Solid-State Drives (SSDs)
C. Graphic Processing Units (GPUs)
D. Multicore CPUs
D. Multicore CPUs
With many streams of data to process and large requirements for communication
between memory and CPU cache, you can use a lot of CPU cores at the
same time. Even though GPUs might seem the most out of place here, they
offer tremendous calculation pov.rer and are developing faster than the CPUs.
Although many companies are considering using some of their special characteristics
in the business application world, and we might be hearing of more of
these exploits in the future, for now, they aren’t used by SAP HANA. Solid-state
drives (SSDs) offer a big boost to traditional databases, and because SAP HANA
uses disk drives for many nonspeed critical processes (e.g., backup and aged
data), they can be used with SAP HANA. Unfortunately, they don’t offer much
in the way of improved speed due to the architecture. Read-only memory is
irrelevant.
True or False: SAP S/4HANA replaces SAP ERP, and development and support
are shifted completely to it.
False
SAP S/4HANA is the successor to SAP ERP, but it doesn't replace it. There is still a huge customer base who relies on SAP ERP, and SAP has promised support until 2025 (at the time of publication) for these customers.
Which of the following product lines does the SAP S/4HANA system rely on
for most human resource management functions?
A. Concur
B. SAP Ariba
C. SAP SuccessFactors
D. SAP Hybris
C. SAP SuccessFactors
SAP SuccessFactors is the go-to solution for human capital management with
SAP S/4HANA.
What technology did SAP leverage to eliminate aggregate tables from the SAP
S/4HANA system while maintaining compatibility with many legacy programs?
A. Columnar store
B. Compatibility views
C. Data aging
D. Indices
B. Compatibility views
Compatibility views can be materialized on demand for data in line item tables
of the SAP HANA database to support programs that read old aggregate and
index tables that are no longer in the system.
True or False: Choosing between SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud is
also a matter of required scope.
True
The product scopes still vary with SAP on premise being the more complete
solution currently.
Which is the most flexible SAP S/4HANA Cloud solution for customers?
A. Private option
B. Public option
C. Hybrid option
D. Community option
A. Private option
The private cloud solution gives the customer full control over the infrastructure
and software, which enables the most flexibility among the available cloud
solutions.
True or False: The only version of the public cloud edition of SAP S/4HANA a
customer can be on is the latest released version.
True
Updates in the realm of the public cloud are always required. A customer can’t
choose to skip a product release cycle because the system is upgraded for all at
the same time.
A user wants to add an application to his SAP Fiori home page but can’t find it
in the App Finder. What does the admin have to do?
A. Assign the corresponding SAP Fiori tile group to the user.
B. Assign the corresponding SAP Fiori tile catalog to the user.
C. Add the tile to a tile group already assigned to the user.
D. Add the corresponding tile catalog to the tile group.
B. Assign the corresponding SAP Fiori tile catalog to the user.
The SAP Fiori tile catalog defines which tiles a user is authorized to use. If the
user isn’t assigned to the right catalog, he won’t see the application tile even if
it’s part of a group he is also assigned to.
Where can an SAP Fiori end user change the theme of their launchpad?
A. In the Me area of the launchpad
B. In the Tile Catalog area of the launchpad designer
C. In the Tile Group area of the launchpad designer
D. In the UI theme designer
A. In the Me area of the launchpad
An end user will only typically have access to the launchpad; other SAP Fiori
tools are for admins. The Me area is where users control all changeable settings
for their launchpad, including theme selection.
True or False: Anyone with an appropriate user name and pass~vord can log on
to the SAP Fiori launchpad through a web browser.
True
No special soft~vare needs to be installed; all modern, up-to-date web browsers
with HTMLS support will work.
What kind of customization can users do on their launchpad? (There are two
correct answers.)
A. Change the name of tile groups.
B. Create their own tile groups.
C. Change the names of tiles.
D. Change the icons on tiles.
A. Change the name of tile groups.
B. Create their own tile groups.
Changing the name and look of tiles can only be done in the catalog view of the
SAP Fiori launchpad designer. End users can only access the SAP Fiori launchpad
where they can manage their tile groups.
