SAP B1 RSP MANDATORY FROM 1ST JUNE 2013
Posted: May 21, 2013 Filed under: SAP Business One News | Tags: ERP, issue resolution, Maintenance, maintenance issues, remote support platform, RSP, SAP, SAP Business One, software, technology Leave a comment »SAP’s Remote Support Platform (RSP) will become mandatory from the 1st June 2013 for all SAP Business One site installations.![]()
The Remote support platform for SAP Business One provides proactive maintenance of site installations to prevent and fix time-consuming maintenance issues. It assists with implementations, upgrades, and issue resolution.
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from RSP for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etcetera). Failure to upload the SSR to SAP will result in an inevitable delay with the resolution of tickets passed onto SAP support.
The RSP is normally installed with SAP Business One. However, this may not have been enabled for some earlier SAP Business One installations.
The Prospettiva Technical Support team will be checking RSP status on each site as part of the support process. On sites where RSP is missing, it will be installed. On sites where RSP is disabled, it will be enabled. On Sites where the RSP is out of date, it will be upgraded.
We will not, of course, conduct any of the above activities without first consulting designated Maintenance Contacts.

My Prospettiva understands that all of your queries are important. However, via the ticket category, it also understands which tickets are more urgent than others (e.g. software failure versus cosmetic reporting query).
My Prospettiva will proactively police all tickets to ensure that they are being processed within a fair a reasonable time. Where appropriate, it will automatically email reminders to our technicians and, in pending cases where we are awaiting additional information, you.
YOUR SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT TO US

We’d very much appreciate any feedback as this will tell us whether or not we’re doing a good job so we can continue doing more of the same of something that is good or take action in cases where things aren’t so good.
