Remote Supportability Tools

When we take a high level view of the supportability tools used to facilitate the root cause analysis process we settle on the three main areas. Those areas are attended root cause analysis, unattended root cause analysis, as well as diagnostics. All three play critical roles in how issues are resolved by BI administrators as well as SAP support.
