## Detailed Description
This cmdlet returns discovered Veeam Plug-In for Oracle RMAN, Veeam Plug-In for SAP HANA, Veeam Plug-In for SAP on Oracle or MongoDB instances. Use an appropriate parameter set for each Veeam Plug-In.

Veeam Backup & Replication regularly performs discovery operations for Veeam Plug-In on computers in a protection group. During a discovery operation, Veeam Backup & Replication connects to computers and gathers information about them. After the discovery operation is complete, Veeam Backup & Replication recognizes processed Veeam Plug-Ins as discovered.
