You want to perform an SAP S/4HANA conversion using SUM with DMO. Which steps run before the beginning of the technical downtime, irrespective of your SUM configuration? Note: There are 3 correct…

Question

Options

• AActivation of dictionary objects in phase ACT_UPG
• BImport of upgrade and language data from the download directory in phase TABIM_UPG
• CGeneration of the new ABAP loads in phase RUN_SGEN_GENER8
• DCreation of application tables in the SAP HANA database in phase
• EImport of dictionary objects from the download directory in phase DDIC_UPG

• A
  82% (46)
• B
  5% (3)
• C
  13% (7)

Explanation

In a SUM with DMO conversion, several preparation steps run during uptime to minimize downtime. DDIC_UPG (E) imports new ABAP Dictionary object definitions from the download stack, ACT_UPG (A) then activates those dictionary objects so the new structures are recognized by the system, and the creation of application tables in SAP HANA (D) builds the new table shells in the target database - all of this groundwork happens while the source system is still online.

Why B is wrong: TABIM_UPG is where actual upgrade and language data is imported into tables - this is a core downtime-phase activity because the live system cannot serve users while data is being migrated.

Why C is wrong: RUN_SGEN_GENER8 (SGEN) regenerates ABAP loads/programs and runs after technical downtime ends, during post-processing, because it depends on the finalized, migrated codebase.

Memory tip: Think "Dictionary Before Downtime, Data During Downtime." The three pre-downtime steps all deal with structure (defining, activating, and creating table shells), not data movement - that's your signal they're safe to run while users are still logged on.
