Agent console in Remote Support Platform
Hi Experts,
What is agent console in Remote Support platform?Also in the active task when you view the task there is an option named communication in the communication tab there is an option of customize so what is the reason behind it.
Thanks in advance -
Mona.
Hello,
RSP consists of the following two applications:
1. RSP Agent Service - This is a windows service, instantly running on a server (preferably SAP Business One server machine). The service itself does not have any UI, it is a background process. This is the "application logic".
2. RSP Agent Console - The console is the user interface to configure, manage and use the RSP service. It can connect to a locally installed RSP Agent service or to a remotely installed RSP Agent Service (within the company intranet).
As for the communication settings in the task details:
- Every RSP task generates a report (XML file, HTML file) which is then sent by email to configured recipients or to SAP.
- Communication channels specify, where, how and to whom the reports will be sent (email, SAP, saved locally to a directory).
- By default, all tasks use the default settings configured in the RSP configuration.
- The default settings can be overriden by the task specific configuration of communication channels. For example, for example you can configure the task to send the results to specific email recipients which are different from those configured in the RSP configuration. Or, you can turn off sending the results to SAP for a selected task. This way you can route results of task to relevant support people (experts) who are interested in them.
If you have any more comments or questions, I will be happy to answer.
Best regards

Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?
SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
Some details about RSP Backup Management
Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
Perform differential and full database backups
Back up transaction logs
Back up files to shared folders on a network
System Status Report through RSP
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
Database uploads only via RSP
From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
Set the correct proxy
Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility

Regarding this, I would like to know that How we can give the SBO users support efficiently? i.e. By accessing the remote sandbox remotely, and demonstrate something or do some troubleshooting. Its should be basically RDC kind of functionalities.Your assumption is correct. Remote Desktop Services or Terminal Server environment is needed. Or you can use Citrix Server.

Remote support platform password reset
The RSP has been installed ona server - the IT manager can not remember the username and password.
How and where can this username and password be reset?
Cheers LisaHi Lisa,
The only way you might have is to deinstall RSP in order to install it again. This time remembering the password properly.
Just use Add/remove program feature of Windows OS. Do not delete anything else! Then you'll have less to reconfigure.

Remote Support Platform System Status Report
RSP has been installed and the System status report run. I have checked the RSp documentation, Wiki and Blog, but am unable to determine how to action and improve the results.
Key results of the report are indicated below:
Database Information rating - poor.
This is determined by : Depends on ratings in Database Version, SBO-COMMON transaction log size, Company Database Setting - Model, Company Database Setting - Grow Rating and Company Database Backup Statistic.
Hardware Information u2013 acceptable.
This is determined by :Depends on rating in Disk Space Statistic Acceptable.
Can you please advise how these results can be investigated further, and improved?
Regards,
LisaHi Lisa,
If you scroll a bit more down within the System Status Report you will find just below the Database Information rating the rating for
Database Version
-Poor rating: If DB server has any other version than specified in "Green" column
-Acceptable: Never (this rating you should never get)
-Excellent: If DB version is one of the following: 8.00.760 8.00.2039 9.00.1399 9.00.2047 9.00.* 10.00.['' means any number]
Please note the Db version you can get easily by running the following query within SQL Management Studio
SELECT @@VERSION
SBO-COMMON transaction log size
-Poor rating: If size of SBO-Common DB log file is bigger than 1000M
-Acceptable: If size of SBO-Common DB is between 250M and 1000M
-Excellent:If size of SBO-Common DB is smaller than 250M
Note: Shrinking the DB might improve the results. Another solution could be while patching the whole system: 1.Backing up
the DB, delete it and carry out the upgrade as usual. It will create a new SBO-Common
Please get the ratings for
Company Database Setting - Model
Company Database Setting - Grow Rating
Company Database Backup Statistic
Disk Space Statistic
from the attached example of a System Status Report.
In case something is not clear enough explained, we are looking for feedback in order to make the System Status Report more userfriendly.
Kind regards
Mario

Hello,
I have a question concerning one of the functionalities offered by RSP:
I've read that RSP sends notifications whenever an issue is discovered, for example SQL Server is not running anymore, the disk space is poor, or there is an old database backup.
My question is How can I configure RSP such that it detects those issues and sends notifications?
Thank you.Hi,
Have you gone through this already: RSP module ?
Thanks,

Looking for an unattended over the internet remote support solution
Did you look into ScreenConnect?
Hello everyone... I've read some discussions today regarding remote support tools. My background comes from an older version of Kaseya (perhaps 5 or earlier), some experience with GFIMax, and Bomgar. I have changed jobs and am looking for a similar solution for the company I am at to replace the current Kaseya implementation being managed by a vendor. We have less than 15 workstations/servers to maintain. I took a look at Remote Utilities this afternoon as well as DameWare and while I lean more towards DameWare, they do not support unattended remote access at this time. Remote Utilities looks like a good solution provided I install an RU server somewhere in the building. I was looking for a solution similar to Kaseya or GFI whereby there is a cloud based console that the agents check in to that I have access to from anywhere.Are there...

ISA500, ssh username for remote support
Hi!
The ISA500 platform has got a remote support feature via ssh (Device Management > Cisco Services & Support > Remote Support).
When I activate this feature, a ssh-session to the ISA can be established.
But I don't see any possibility to set a username in the configuration. So I don't know the right user for wich I set the password in the Web-GUI.
I tried some well known users (cisco, Cisco, admin, root, pix, ...) , but always "access denied".
Does anyone know this user to login to the ISA via SSH?
Thanks and Best Regards,
WogerGood morning
Hi Christian, thanks for using our forum, my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community. As you know you can change your password using the GUI in Device Management > Cisco Services & Support > Remote Support. However using the Remote Support page to enable the SSHv2 server is for debugging purposes. This feature allows the engineers to use a unique console root password to log in to the security appliance for debugging operations.
I hope you find this answer useful,

Problem with the agent console created in the ESSO-Logon Manager 64 bits
Friends,
When I use the installer that I created in the console ESSO-Logon Manager for 32-bit, this I install it on the client side and when I synchronize with the console-Logon Manager ESSO brings me and I can see the agent all the templates I configured.
I have a problem with the agent console created in the Logon Manager ESSO-64bit.
When I use this installer on the client stations and then by the agent does not envision the applications that I have configured in the console.
This causes you can not do single sign on to applications that I have configured in the client stations
To generate this installer use the source name: ESSO-LMx64.msi
Can someone please help me with this problem, this only happens when I use the msi installer on 64-bit client stations.
Thanks.Jackson_Bill wrote:

Hi All,
Can anyone give me details of the remote support component BO platform. I got to know that for BI 4.x this remote support is setup using solution manager and wily introscope stand alone configuration.
How is setup in existing bo4.1 system and what are the major advantages and effort required. Also what is the difference between Monitoring service which is available in BI 4.x or this BI monitoring has to merge with these remote support components.
Please share your ideas and how to install / setup these remote support components.
Thanks in advance.
JayakrishnaHi Emanuel & Asma,
Thanks for the replies.
After going through the links, I see that, this remote support component is suppreted in BO XI3.1, there are options given for BO 4.0 also, like
Solution
EarlyWatch Alert
Documentation
SAP Solution Manager
Yes
Note 1653689 - SolMan 7.1: Managed Sys Setup - BI Platform 4.0
Wily Introscope stand-alone configuration
No
Note 1540591 - Wily Introscope Setup for SAP BOE 4.0
How to proceed for this to setup. Do we need both SAP SolMan along wtih Introscope required, thou there is no Earlywatch alert option not available for Intrsoscope. Installation steps or document is available.
Please help.

Remote Support Component Features Video
Please check out the new remote support component features video. The video is around 7 minutes long and provides a general overview of the functionlity included with the add-on.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okjbnjAvkJ8Some additional input in addition to Henry's
1) I see content for Businessobjects XI 3.1, what about 4?
Support for BI Platform 4.x is targeted for Q2 2012
2) I do not see any content to monitor Data Services and databases connected to data services?
Support for database monitoring (database specific metrics) is planned for a future version. However, you can monitor the database process itself along with operating system metrics such as cpu, memory, disk i/o, network stats etc. With Solution Manager however, you can monitor database internals via dbacockpit tool.
4) Is there any content to monitor disk space, database instances, database sizes/growth?
See #2
3) Is it possible to create dashboards, add content of your own for monitoring anything not provided as shown above?
Yes, however you need to purchase a license for CA Wily Introscope. The remote support component is totally free therefore its a view only version. However, with a CA license you may customize or add content as you see fit.
The enhancement you request is already planned however if you could go to the [Idea Place|https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/community/ideas/businessanalytics/sbo_rsc] and vote for this enhancement it will certainly help increase the priority.
If you have more queries or concerns please feel free to post more feedback.

Botched Remote Support Component install
Hello,
I am a new admin trying to install Remote Support Component SP3 for our Business Objects system (everything Windows based). I'm following the Installation Guide - Remote Support Component SP3 Document version 1.3.8 u2013 23 February 2012
Does the Remote Support Component belong on the 'Managing host'?
I installed it on our 'Managed host', aka a separate server where our Business Objects XI 3.1 sp5 is installed.
-Brian P.
Saginaw, MIHi Brian,
The below diagram shows you in which order to install which components (on which systems)
[INSTALLATION ORDER DIAGRAM|https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/weblogs/images/252140217/flow.png]
The "remote support component" also known as the "managing agent" is installed by the SMDAgent installation (step 2 in the attached diagram). This is the install that is ran by running sapinst
The managed agents (that are installed to your BOE nodes and your application server) are installed by the same sapinst installer, however they remain only as managed agents because you do not activate the agent (as show in step 3 of the attached diagram)
So to answer your original question:
Does the Remote Support Component belong on the 'Managing host'? Yes
If you have any further questions, problems, etc please feel free to post more to this forum.
Sincerely,
Toby Johnston
