• Sandbox system: This is an optional system that can be used to explore the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition capabilities and features before the implementation project starts. It is not connected to the starter system or the test system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It can be refreshed on demand by the customer1.
• Starter system: This is the first system that is provisioned for the customer after the contract is signed. It is used to perform the fit-to-standard workshops, where the customer validates the standard processes and identifies the gaps and requirements. It also serves as the configuration system, where the customer configures the business processes using the SAP Central Business Configuration tool. The starter system is connected to the test system and can transfer the configuration and master data to it2.
• Test system: This is the second system that is provisioned for the customer after the starter system is configured. It is used to perform the integration testing, user acceptance testing, data migration, and cutover activities. It also serves as the production system, where the customer runs the live business processes after the go-live. The test system is connected to the starter system and can receive the configuration and master data from it3.

The systems that are not used to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer are:

• Trial system: This is a system that can be used to experience the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition solution for a limited time. It is not connected to any other system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It is not part of the implementation project and does not require a contract4.
• Development system: This is a system that can be used to develop custom applications or extensions using the SAP Business Technology Platform. It is not part of the SAP S/4HANACloud Public Edition landscape and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It requires a separate contract and license.

 Core Data Services (CDS) is a layer of SAP S/4HANA that provides a universal language to read and process data across different applications. CDS is based on SQL and extends it with domain-specific features and annotations. CDS views are reusable and can be consumed by various interfaces such as SAP Fiori, OData, or SQL. CDS views also enable the definition of semantic data models that expose the business logic and meaning of the underlying data sources. References = [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Introduction to Core Data Services], [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Core Data Services in SAPS/4HANA Cloud]

 The organizational entities that are required in SAP Central Business Configuration are defined by the selected deployment target and the selected scope. The deployment target specifies which SAP cloud solutions are included in the project, such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. The scope specifies which business processes and countries/regionsare included in the project, such as sales or professional services. These choices determine which organizational units are required to run the underlying processes, such as company, business residence, sales organization, or project unit. Added partner content and system consistency checks do not define the organizational entities, but rather enhance or validate the configuration. References = SAP Central Business Configuration – Overview, page 5; Introducing SAP Central Business Configuration

In SAP Central Business Configuration, the organizational entities that need to be defined for an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementation are influenced by two primary factors: the selected deployment target and the selected scope. The deployment target refers to the specific environment or system where SAP S/4HANA Cloud will be implemented. This choice can affect which organizational entities are necessary based on the technical and business requirements of that environment. The selected scope, on the other hand, pertains to the business processes and functions that the company intends to use within SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This determines the organizational structures, such as company codes, sales organizations, and purchasing organizations, that need to be set up to support the scoped processes. Both factors are integral to ensuring that the configuration supports the business's operational needs and strategic objectives.

You specify the data retention period in the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit when the project status is “Finished”. The data retention period is the length of time (in days) that the project and all associated data is kept in the system after you have set the status of the project to Finished. To do this, set the option Data Retention Period to On. The data will be deleted from the SAP S/4HANA system when the data retention time expires. If you set the option Data Retention Period to Off, then the project and all associated data will be kept in the system indefinitely. You can also change the retention time for finished projects on the Technical Information tab of the project settings. References = The Migration Project Screen, Migrating Data to the SAP S/4HANA System

When using the Local SAP S/4HANA Database Schema migration approach, you can upload multiple XML files at once by using a ZIP file. The total maximum permitted size for the XML files in the ZIP file is 160 MB. The limit for the ZIP file is also 160 MB. Therefore, the maximum file size is 160 MB per ZIP file and 160 MB per file. References = SAP Help Portal - SAP Online Help, SAP Help Portal - SAP Online Help

 The Manage KPIs and Reports app is a single platform for creating all analytical applications using KPIs, reports, multidimensional reports, and stories. You can create applications that can be launched directly from SAP Fiori launchpad. The app is integrated with SAP Analytics Cloud, which allows you to create and view stories. A story is a presentation-style document that uses charts, tables, and other visualizations to display data insights. A review booklet is a collection of stories that can be used to share information with stakeholders. A multidimensional report is a type of report that allows you to analyze data from multiple dimensions and measures. You can create and view multidimensional reports from the app. An object view is a type of report that displays data for a single object, such as a customer or a product. You cannot create or view object views from the app. A Lumira dashboard is a type of dashboard that uses SAP Lumira to create and display data visualizations. You cannot create or view Lumira dashboards from the app. References = Manage KPIs and Reports, Stories, Review Booklets, [Multidimensional Reports]

Based on the SAP Activate methodology, the Explore phase is where consultants configure business processes based on the information gathered in the Fit-to-Standard workshops. The Fit-to-Standard analysis is conducted in a series of workshops and allows for validation of predefined scenarios agreed upon and to make room for enhancements or additional configuration required. To prepare for this workshop, it is recommended that teams get familiar with the SAP Best Practices content, including the process flows, test scripts with sample data, and other documentation available in SAP Best Practices Explorer.Consultants should also use the Test system to demonstrate SAP Best Practice processes and enable business users to run the end-to-end processes and identify any gaps. The other two activities, conducting the Digital Discovery Assessment and defining the organizational structure and chart of accounts, are part of the Prepare phase, not the Explore phase. References = SAP Activate – Explore Phase: Use Fit-to-Standard to confirm business process fit and identify gaps in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Implementation, SAP Explore Phase Activities: Define Target BP and Architecture, SAP Activate Elements and Phases, Explaining the Explore Phase

When you build an integration scenario using the SAP Fiori Communication Management apps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, you must create a communication system and a communication arrangement. A communication system represents the communication partner within a communication, such as the system that calls or provides services. A communication arrangement defines the settings for a specific communication scenario, such as the authentication method, the communication user, and the service URL. You can use the Communication Systems app and the Communication Arrangements app to create and manage these objects in the SAP Fiori launchpad. References = Setting up Communication Management - SAP Learning, Setting up SAP Best Practices Integrations - SAP Learning, Setting Up Integrations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The IT Contact is the person who is responsible for setting up the initial system access, provisioning users, and managing authentication for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition project. The IT Contact should be identified and assigned immediately when the implementation begins, as they will receive all the SAP communications and notifications related to the system setup and configuration. The IT Contact should also be available and accessible throughout the project, and collaborate with the project team and the business stakeholders1.

The IT Contact should be someone who is a hands-on system administrator, not an executive. They should have the skills and experience to perform the system administration tasks, such as creating users, assigning roles, configuring identity providers, and troubleshooting issues. They should also be committed and engaged with the project, and provide feedback and participate in testing and training activities1.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, as the customer system admin is the most suitable person to be the IT Contact for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition project. References = 1 How to Choose the Right IT Contact for Your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Project - SAP Community

A business role is assigned to a business user to provide access to business tasks. A business role can contain one or more business catalogs, which are predefined by SAP and contain the actual authorizations that allow users to access the apps contained in the catalog. Each business catalog bundles authorizations for a specific business area. You can tailor the access according to the needs of the business and for compliance purposes using restrictions. References = Finding the Required Business Roles and Business Catalogs for aSolution Process, Defining Business Roles for Production, Business Roles and Catalogs

 If you cannot find a prepackaged solution process that addresses integration requirements in SAP Signavio Process Navigator, you should look next at the SAP Business Accelerator Hub. The SAP Business Accelerator Hub is a central repository of integration content that can help you to connect SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition with other SAP and non-SAP applications. You can browse, search, and filter the available integration packages, scenarios, and APIs, and access the relevant documentation and configuration guides1. The SAP Business Accelerator Hub also provides links to the SAP Integration Suite tools, such as SAP Cloud Integration, SAP API Management, and SAP Cloud Integration Automation Service, that you can use to implement and manage the integrations2.

The other options are not the correct places to look for integration requirements. SAP Discovery Center is a portal that helps you to discover, try, and buy SAP solutions and services3. SAP Business Technology Platform is a platform that enables you to extend, integrate, and build applications in the cloud4. SAP Cloud ALM is a cloud-based application lifecycle management tool that supports you in implementing, operating, and enhancing your cloud solutions5. References = SAP Business Accelerator Hub, SAP S/4HANA CloudPublic Edition - Integration, SAP Discovery Center, SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Cloud ALM.

A data variant is a set of data values that can be used to execute a test process in the Test Automation Tool. You can define multiple data variants for a test process to test different scenarios with different input data. You can also use data variants to parameterize your test process and reuse it for different test cases1.

You define a data variant after binding a process step field to a Test Data Container. A Test Data Container is a reusable object that stores test data for a specific field or parameter. You can create and manage Test Data Containers in the Manage Test Data app. You can bind a process step field to a Test Data Container by selecting the field in the Test Automation Tool and choosing the Test Data Container from the list. This will create a link between the field and the Test Data Container, allowing you to use the data stored in the Test Data Container for the field2.

After binding a process step field to a Test Data Container, you can define a data variant by selecting the Test Data Container and choosing the Data Variant option. This will open a dialog where you can enter the data values for the data variant. You can also specify a name and a description for the data variant. You can create as many data variants as you need for a Test Data Container2.

Therefore, the correct answer is B, as you define a data variant after binding a process step field to a Test Data Container. References = 1 Test Automation Tool - SAP Help Portal 2 Test Data Containers - SAP Help Portal

In the context of using the Test Automation Tool within SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, defining a data variant is a crucial step. This step occurs:

• After binding a process step field to a Test Data Container:A Test Data Container (TDC) is used to store data that can be reused across multiple test cases. When a field in a process step is bound to a TDC, it means that the test case will use the data specified within the TDC. After this binding, a data variant can be defined to specify different sets of data or conditions under which the test case should be executed. This allows for more flexible and comprehensive testing scenarios, ensuring that the application behaves as expected under various conditions.

 A partner line of business configuration expert plays a crucial role in preparing for Fit-to-Standard workshops, which are pivotal in aligning SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition's capabilities with the customer's business requirements. To identify and select relevant business processes for discussion in these workshops, the expert would reference:

• SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub:This tool serves as a comprehensive repository and collaboration platform for business process documentation and best practices. It provides detailed insights into various business processes, including their steps, variations, and best practices, as established in the SAP ecosystem. By referencing the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub, a line of business configuration expert can identify relevant standard business processes that SAP S/4HANA Cloud supports, which should be covered during the Fit-to-Standard workshops. This ensures that the workshops focus on processes critical to the customer's operations and that any gaps or customization needs are identified early in the implementation phase.

The IT Contact is the person who receives the welcome email from SAP and is responsible for setting up the initial access to SAP Cloud ALM. The IT Contact needs to eventually provide all project team members access to SAP Cloud ALM, but it’s most important the partner and customer project managers are given access first, because they are responsible for setting up the implementation project and assigning tasks to the other project team members1. The project manager is a partner role that has the authorization to create and manage projects in SAP Cloud ALM2. References = Setting up the Implementation Project in SAP Cloud ALM, Teams, Roles, and Access Restrictions | SAP Help Portal

In the context of SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), the IT Contact is typically responsible for the initial setup and assignment of roles within the project. The first role to which the IT Contact often assigns access permission is:

• Project manager:The project manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the SAP project's planning, execution, and completion. By assigning access permission to the project manager first, the IT Contact ensures that the project manager has the necessary tools and insights to manage the project effectively within SAP Cloud ALM. This access allows the project manager to monitor project progress, manage resources, and make informed decisions, facilitating successful project execution and alignment with business goals.

Granting the project manager access to SAP Cloud ALM is a strategic decision that empowers them to lead the project efficiently, leveraging the platform's capabilities for project management, monitoring, and collaboration.
