What's changed: Deepened SAP-C02 Chapter 4 (added comparison tables, scenarios, FAQs, exam traps, deep-dive paragraphs to each section; localized figures to Japanese)
4.2Tools to Execute Migrations
Understand migration tools—Application Migration Service (MGN), DMS/SCT (DB migration), DataSync (online bulk transfer), the Snow Family (offline bulk), and Transfer Family. Choose by data type and connectivity.
Pick migration tools by what you move: servers = MGN, databases = DMS, files = DataSync, huge data over thin links = Snow.
4.2.1Choosing migration tools
- Application Migration Service (MGN): rehost servers via continuous replication (the workhorse for lift & shift).
- DMS / SCT: migrate databases with minimal downtime; convert schemas for heterogeneous engines with SCT.
- DataSync: transfer files/objects fast and incrementally over the network.
- Snow Family: for thin links/huge data, offline transfer via physical devices. Transfer Family handles ongoing SFTP, etc.
Common on SAP-C02: server lift & shift = MGN, DB migration = DMS, heterogeneous schema conversion = SCT, bulk online file transfer = DataSync, thin-link/PB-scale offline = Snow Family, ongoing SFTP = Transfer Family. Decide online (DataSync) vs offline (Snow) from bandwidth and deadline.
