Can someone help me with the best options to migrate SAP HANA to AWS cloud.

Hello All, As of now, SCT doesn't support SAP HANA as one of the source databases. Any other way to migrate the SAP HANA database (schemas, views, procedures, function....) to Redshift? I understand that for data migration, there are many available options (SAP Data Services, Snow family, Glue etc....). Thank You! Rajendran

Do we have a summary of SAP related updates from re:Invent 2021?

Hi all, We are currently facing some issues with connecting our on-premises SAP system to AWS via AWS AppFlow. We decided to use the OData interface as described [here in the official AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appflow/latest/userguide/sapodata.html). The interface (for now) is publicly accessible and can be called via Postman for example. When we try to set up the connection via AWS Appflow we receive the following error: ``` Error while communicating to connector: Client error: The request to SAP failed with the status code: 400 and error message: Unable to find valid certification path to requested target and response: (Service: SandstoneBridgeService; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ConnectorClientException; Request ID: b54c78ce-1264-401c-b889-81b1252f3a8c; Proxy: null) ``` On the [common errors page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appflow/1.0/APIReference/CommonErrors.html) for AppFlow I can't find this error and also searching community forums didn't really help so far. Has anyone ever experienced this problem or has any suggestion how to resolve this? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Patrick

What is the best AWS native service (besides lift/shift to EC2) that usually maps to the HANA db. And any concerns or areas to look out for in the movement?

I'm trying to use Amazon FSx for SAP on Windows High Availability environment, but run into an issue where I can’t assign a CNAME to Amazon FSx Multi-AZ file system deployment. (CNAME works fine in Single-AZ file system deployment) I also can’t use the native AWS naming of the Amazon FSx file system ID as this is more than 13 chars, which is not supported by SAP. Are you able to provide some guidance around how we set up the SAP Central Services to use Amazon FSx Multi-AZ file system for our SAPGlobalHost share ? (Have seen some documents that loosely implies you need to setup DFS replication between 2 Single-AZ file system deployments, is this correct as it seems very clunky and not a straight forward solution?)

A customer is interested in using u-6tb1 (bare metal) EC2 High Memory instances. They are interested in the resilience of the instances. As they are not available for automatic EC2 recovery, the customers are asking: 1. What will happen to the data and the OS, if there is an outage of the instance? The hard drives will be moved to a new instance? Or they're all EBS volumes that can be attached to a new instance? 2. What is our SLA on the replacing the instance? What is the expected downtime?

Hello, Is there any guidance that we (or SAP) provide regarding EC2 Placement Groups for SAP HANA on AWS deployments (i.e. cluster placement groups for latency or partition placement groups for availability, etc) for single-AZ deployments? Doesn't appear to be any specific guidance that I've found so far on this topic. Thanks, Anthony

Is the SLES for SAP subscription transferable between instance types/families? My customer has deployed the SLES for SAP Marketplace AMI hourly for now, and are looking at the annual subscription for the 70% discount. They want flexibility, in case they need to switch sizes/families in the future. Example of the Marketplace offer: [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B077BSMJDP?qid=1537308909075&sr=0-1&ref_=srh_res_product_title&cl_spe=C][1] [1]: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B077BSMJDP?qid=1537308909075&sr=0-1&ref_=srh_res_product_title&cl_spe=C

Is SAP Bank Analyzer 9.0 with Smart AFI supported on AWS? If so, is it OLAP or OLTP and if OLAP, does it support scale-out architecture on HANA?
