Which of the following set of artifacts does SAP provide as part of the SAP Reference Solution Architecture content?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation The answer is A. Solution Value Flow Diagram/Solution Process Flow Diagram/Solution Component Diagram/Solution Data Flow Diagram. The SAP Reference Solution Architecture (RSA) content provides a set of artifacts that can be used to describe the solution architecture for a SAP solution. These artifacts include: Solution Value Flow Diagram - This diagram shows the flow of value through the solution, from the customer to the back-end systems. Solution Process Flow Diagram - This diagram shows the detailed steps involved in a business process, and how the SAP solution supports those steps. Solution Component Diagram - This diagram shows the different components of the SAP solution, and how they interact with each other. Solution Data Flow Diagram - This diagram shows the flow of data through the SAP solution, from the source to the destination. These artifacts can be used to understand the solution architecture for a SAP solution, and to communicate that architecture to others.

Question 3
As the Chief Enterprise Architect of Wanderlust GmbH, you know that there is very little process documentation available on online marketing processes within Wanderlust. You also know that SAP has a rich End-to-End (E2E) Business Processes content repository. To take advantage of that, you have engaged an SAP Enterprise Architect. The SAP Enterprise Architect is using SAP's Business Process Model (BPM) and the Business Capability Model (BCM) while mapping processes to capabilities, how are the two models connected? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: B,C
Question 4
For the next Architecture Board meeting, you need to determine the next steps required after the business, application/data and technology architecture designs have been created. What do you recommend?
Correct Answer: A
After the business, application/data, and technology architecture designs have been created, it is vital to engage with stakeholders to review these artifacts and gain their sign-off, ensuring that the designs meet the business requirements and are aligned with the strategic direction of the company. Transition Architectures are an essential part of building the Architecture Roadmap as they provide interim 'target states' that enable the organization to move towards the final architecture in a controlled manner. Creating the initial drafts of the work packages and the project/rollout plan is necessary to commence the detailed planning for implementation. = This approach is documented within the SAP Enterprise Architecture development process, which underscores the importance of stakeholder engagement, Transition Architectures, and detailed planning for successful EA implementation. Relevant documents include "SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework" and "Transition Architecture Planning in SAP Environments."
Question 5
Green Elk & Company is the world's leading manufacturer of agricultural and forestry machinery. The former company slogan "Elk always runs has recently been changed to "Elk feeds the world" One of Green Elk's strategic goals is to increase its revenue in the emerging markets of China, India, and other parts of Asia by 80 % within three years. This requires a new business model that caters to significantly smaller farms with limited budgets. You are the Chief Enterprise Architect and the CIO asked you to conduct interviews with the key stakeholders of Green Elk to assess the business strategy. You are planning to interview the owner of the business unit of finished goods. Which of the following sets of questions would you ask?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, which is a methodology and toolset by the German multinational software company SAP that helps enterprise architects define and implement an architecture strategy for their organizations, the first phase of the architecture development cycle is the architecture vision, which involves defining the scope, objectives, and stakeholders of the architecture project, and creating a high-level vision of the desired outcome. The questions in option C are aligned with this phase, as they aim to understand and assess the business strategy and transformation drivers of Green Elk & Company, and to identify the value proposition, value chain, and business capabilities that are relevant for the new business model. The questions in option C are: How is the value chain transformed? Which parts of the value chain must be optimized? This question helps to understand how the new business model affects the way Green Elk & Company creates and delivers value to its customers, and which activities or processes need to be improved or changed to support the new business model. What is the competitive advantage and what are the value potentials that can be realized through the transformation? This question helps to understand what differentiates Green Elk & Company from its competitors, and what benefits or opportunities it can achieve by adopting the new business model. Which business capabilities will be required or need to mature to support future business models? This question helps to identify the skills, resources, and competencies that Green Elk & Company needs to develop or enhance to enable and sustain the new business model. The other options (A, B, D) are not correct for the set of questions to ask the owner of the business unit of finished goods, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the aspects of the architecture vision phase. For example: Option A is not correct because it focuses too much on the technological aspects of the architecture project, such as technological concepts, integration technology, and partner organization. These aspects are more relevant for later phases of the architecture development cycle, such as application architecture or technology architecture. The questions in option A do not address the business aspects of the architecture project, such as business goals, drivers, constraints, or value proposition. Option B is not correct because it does not include asking about the value chain or the business capabilities, which are important aspects of the architecture vision phase. The value chain describes how Green Elk & Company creates and delivers value to its customers, and the business capabilities describe what Green Elk & Company can do or needs to do to achieve its goals. The questions in option B only focus on the transformation drivers and the future business model, which are not enough to define a comprehensive architecture vision. Option D is not correct because it also focuses too much on the technological aspects of the architecture project, such as technological concepts and hyperscaler strategy. These aspects are not relevant for interviewing the owner of the business unit of finished goods, who is more concerned with the business aspects of the architecture project. The questions in option D do not address the value proposition or the value chain, which are essential for understanding how Green Elk & Company creates and delivers value to its customers.
