Question #10

Enable a Practice of Empowerment.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The best answer for the integration approach to take for this solution is C. According to the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M), which is a methodology offered by SAP that helps enterprise architects define an integration strategy for their organizations and derive related integration guidelines, the recommended approach for identifying an integration solution and strategy is:

Document and review the existing integration (architecture). This step involves documenting and analyzing the current state of the integration landscape, including the integration scenarios, technologies, patterns, standards, and governance processes. The goal is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the existing integration (architecture) and identify the gaps and improvement areas.

Scope focus areas, for example future required building blocks. This step involves defining and prioritizing the focus areas for the integration project, such as new or changed business requirements, integration scenarios, or technologies. The focus areas are derived from the gaps and improvement areas identified in the previous step, as well as from the business goals and drivers of the organization. The focus areas are also mapped to future required building blocks, which are logical components that represent the desired capabilities or functionalities of the integration solution.

Identify architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns). This step involves identifying and describing the use-cases that are relevant for the integration project, such as process integration, data integration, user integration, or thing integration. The use-cases are technology agnostic, meaning that they do not specify any particular technology or service for implementation. The use-cases are also clustered in use-case patterns, which are generic templates that capture the common characteristics and requirements of similar use-cases.

Map these use case patterns to integration technology. This step involves mapping the use-case patterns to suitable integration technologies or services that can implement them. The mapping is based on a set of criteria and decision tables that consider various aspects of the use-case patterns, such as complexity, performance, security, or scalability. The mapping also takes into account the existing or planned integration technologies or services in the organization’s landscape.

Define Integration Best Practices. This step involves defining and documenting the best practices and guidelines for designing, developing, testing, deploying, monitoring, and governing the integration solutions. The best practices and guidelines are based on SAP’s recommendations and industry standards, as well as on the organization’s specific needs and preferences. The best practices and guidelines also cover various aspects of the integration project, such as naming conventions, error handling, logging, tracing, or versioning.

Enable a Practice of Empowerment. This step involves enabling and empowering the different roles and personas involved in the integration project, such as integration architects, developers, testers, operators, or business users. The goal is to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation among the stakeholders, and to provide them with the necessary skills, tools, and resources to execute their tasks effectively and efficiently.

The other options (A and B) are not correct for the integration approach to take for this solution, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the steps in the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M). For example:

Option A is not correct because it does not include identifying architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns), which is a key step to define and categorize the integration requirements in a generic way. It also does not include enabling a practice of empowerment, which is a key step to ensure the success and sustainability of the integration project.

Option B is not correct because it does not include documenting and reviewing the existing integration (architecture), which is a key step to understand the current state of the integration landscape and identify the gaps and improvement areas. It also does not include scoping focus areas or mapping use case patterns to integration technology, which are key steps to define and prioritize the future state of the integration solution.

Question #14

Why is it useful to create Transition Architectures in the Application Architecture domain?

A . They structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes to existing independent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Considered applications/solutions do NOT depend on the existence of others.
B . They reduce the total number of solution components in the target state of complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing applications and/or rollout of new applications. All applications/solutions do NOT depend on the existence of others.
C . They structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Some applications/solutions depend on the existence of others.

Correct Answer: C
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, Transition Architectures are intermediate states between the Baseline Architecture (the current situation) and the Target Architecture (the desired future state). Transition Architectures describe how to move from one state to another in a feasible and manageable way, taking into account the constraints and dependencies of the project. Transition Architectures are useful for structuring complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Some applications/solutions depend on the existence of others, meaning that they cannot be implemented or operated without the presence or functionality of other applications/solutions. For example, a new application that relies on data from an existing application, or an existing application that needs to be integrated with a new application. By creating Transition Architectures, enterprise architects can:

Define and prioritize the sequence and timing of the changes and rollouts that are needed to achieve the Target Architecture.

Identify and mitigate the risks and issues that might arise during the transition process, such as technical, operational, or organizational challenges.

Communicate and align with the stakeholders and sponsors of the project, such as business owners, users, developers, vendors, etc.

Monitor and control the progress and performance of the project, and ensure that it meets the requirements and expectations of the project.

Transition Architectures are useful in the Application Architecture domain because they can help to structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications.

In some cases, it may be possible to make changes to existing applications independently of each other. However, in many cases, changes to one application will require changes to other applications. This is because applications often depend on each other for data or functionality.

Transition Architectures can help to identify these dependencies and to plan the changes to the

applications in a way that minimizes the impact on the business. They can also help to ensure that the changes are made in a consistent and orderly fashion.

The following are some of the benefits of using Transition Architectures in the Application Architecture domain:

They can help to improve the visibility of complex application architectures.

They can help to identify dependencies between applications.

They can help to plan the changes to applications in a way that minimizes the impact on the business.

They can help to ensure that the changes are made in a consistent and orderly fashion.

Therefore, Transition Architectures can be a valuable tool for managing complex application architectures.
