Selected Answer: D
Log shipping can only be used if the source DB is also MSS (replication). Indexes are not exported via migration/heterogeneous system copy, deleting indexes does not change anything. DMO cannot be used for target database MSS. Table spitting makes sense for export big tables Imho, correct answer is D

If you need to minimize export stage it doesn't make sense to delete secondary indexes that are used for better reading. I will say D table splitting. It's tru that DMO can only be used if your target database is HANA or Sybase ASE

I am correcting my answer. It should be B. The index can be deleted prior to export and it can be rebuilt at target if required

I think DMO doesn't support migrating from DB2. It could be splitting table or deleting index. Deleting index may affect read performance. So, I think ' Split tables' may be the correct option
