Maximum No. Of SAP Session Per User

You set this Parameter : rdisp/max_alt_modes in transaction RZ10.

Add in the above parameter in the Instance Profile - Options Extended Maintenance.

Restart the R/3 instance.

The default maximum no. of sessions in 4.6x is set as 6 session per user.

Logging off the inactive users is not set up by default. Setting up the feature of logging off the users improves the security as unattended terminals do not stay active indefinitely.

To activate automatic logging off, do the following:

Go to Profile Maintenance by choosing Tools --> CCMS --> Configuration --> Profile Maintenance or the transaction RZ11.
Maintain the parameter rdisp/gui_auto_logout. Enter the required number of seconds of inactivity before the user is logged off automatically.
To deactivate automatic logoff, delete the parameter from the profile(s) or set the value '0'.

If you have multiple SAP sessions open from one system and one of them gets hung up on a
transaction or program and you would like to stop that one session without closing them
all, you can use this transaction to end the one session.
Let's say you want to end session three. You can go to either session one or two and enter
this command in the transaction box: /i3
This will immediately close the hung up session (session three in this case).

Or you can do this the long way by going to SM04 and double-click your userid, select a
session and hit 'end session'.

SAP EarlyWatch session is the name given to the process whereby SAP AG logs in to your SAP
system. During this process, SAP AG goes through the SAP installation, collects performance
and other data, and then provides the SAP system administrator with a report of SAP
system's overall configuration. The benefit of EarlyWatch is that it highlights problem
areas, potential problem areas, and areas that are configured well, thus helping the SAP
installation manager to stress on performance and availability of the SAP system. SAP's
Earlywatch service is part of the overall Solution Manager SoluManin SAP system.

Terminate the Session after unsuccessful logon:

If you want to prevent unsuccessful logon attempts before the system does not allow any more logon attempts, you can put a parameter in the Instance Profile to prevent them from doing so.

Transaction RZ10--> Instance Profile--> Extended Maintenance

Use the 'login/fails_to_session_end' Parameter.
Default value: 3; permissible values: 1 -99

Note: The parameter is to be set to a value lower than the value of parameter login/fails_to_user_lock.
