Explanation

hcmdsdbtrans is correct because the command name itself signals its purpose: db (database) + trans (transfer/transport) - it handles moving HCS databases to a different host, including exporting from the source and importing to the destination.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. hcmdssrv - controls starting and stopping HCS services, not database migration
• B. hcmdsbackups - creates backups of HCS data for recovery purposes, but doesn't handle cross-host database relocation
• D. hcmdschgurl - updates the HCS URL configuration (e.g., after a hostname/IP change), a post-migration step, not the migration itself

Memory tip: Break the command apart - hcmds is the product prefix, and dbtrans = DataBase Transfer. If you're moving a database, you need a transfer command. Also note that chgurl would logically come after a move (you'd change the URL once the new host is up), which helps rule out D.
