Background:
SAP RSP (Remote Support Platform) is useful to monitor your customer`s Business One environments and to provide remote support. It enables you to protect SAP Business One environment of your customer through remote monitoring and administration.

Recovery tasks for SAP Business One, version of SAP HANA server, are also provided within RSP version 3.2.
