DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have a bill of materials (BOM) that describes SAP deployments.
You plan to automate the implementation of an SAP S4/HANA deployment to Azure by using the SAP deployment automation framework on Azure.
You need to generate the SAP application templates for the planned implementation and update the BOM.
In which order should you perform the actions? To answer, move all actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Answer(s): A
Explanation:
Step 1: Generate an ABAP Central Services (ASCS) parameter file Generate SAP Application templates for automation
The SAP on Azure Deployment Automation Framework uses a Bill of Materials (BOM) to define the SAP Application. Before you can deploy a system using a custom BOM, you need to also create the templates for the ini-files used in the unattended SAP installation.
Generate ASCS parameter file
Step 2: Install the SAP HANA and SAP Central Services (CSC) instances
Step 3: Load the database content
Load database content
Make sure the following settings are in place on the VM before you begin:
Install and configure your HANA and SCS instances. These instances must be online before you complete the database content load. (Step 2)
The <sid>adm user you created when you generated the unattended installation file for ASCS must be a member of the sapinst group.
The user identifier for <sid>adm must match the value of hdblcm. This example uses 2000.
The SWPM needs access to /sapmnt/<SID>/global/. To configure permissions, run chown <sid>adm:sapsys / sapmnt/<SID>/global.
Step 4: Generate and combine the parameter files of the application servers Generate database load template
Generate PAS parameter file
Generate an unattended installation parameter file for use with PAS.
Generate additional application servers parameter file
Generate an unattended installation parameter file for use with AAS.
Combine parameter files
You can combine your parameter files, which all end with inifile.params, into one file for the installation process.
Create combination file
To create a file that combines all your parameters:
1. If you haven't already, download each parameter file you created (ASCS, PAS, and AAS). You need these files on the computer or VM from which you're working.
2. Make a backup of each parameter file.
3. Create a new combination file. Name this file for the SAP product that you're using. For example, S4HANA_2020_ISS_v001.inifile.params.
4. Open the ASCS parameter file (scs.inifile.params) in an editor.
5. Copy the header of the ASCS parameter file into the combination file. For example:
######################################################################################### ################################
# #
# Installation service 'SAP S/4HANA Server 2020 > SAP HANA Database > Installation #
# > Application Server ABAP > Distributed System > ASCS Instance', product id 'NW_ABAP_ASCS:S4HANA2020.CORE.HDB.ABAP' #
# #
######################################################################################### #########
6. For each inifile.params file you have, copy the product identifier line from the header. Then, copy the product identifiers into the header of your combination.
Step 5: Add the templates to the BOM.
7. Open your bom.yml file in an editor.
8. Copy the sections for product_ids into your combination file.
9. For each inifile.params file you have, copy the product identifier from the header into the appropriate part of product_ids. For example, copy your ASCS to scs:
product_ids:
scs: "NW_ABAP_ASCS:S4HANA2020.CORE.HDB.ABAP"
db: ""
pas: ""
aas: ""
web: ""
10. Remove any lines that you commented out or left blank.
11. Save your combination file.
