Session Time out

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We have set our rdisp/gui_auto_logout parameter in RZ10 to 1800 i.e. 30 mins after our internal controls recommendations. Now since we are in the business where in our buying season lot of data upload is being done. We have made a ABAP upload program which loads data from txt files . Before parameter setting users execute this program in front end and this program runs for hours, but due to parameter setting sessions are being timeout.

We also tried to execute this program in backgroud but its giving error showing error in uploading files as shown below.

Hi Waqas,

By analyzing how much time expected to complete the upload program (4hrs / 6hrs or more ) you can increase the same parameter to that level or disabled it by 0.

You have 2 options... you can temporarily disable the timeout by setting rdisp/gui_auto_logout to 0 dynamically via RZ11 or troubleshoot the error when done on background.

Its always better to run jobs on the background if possible, so check SM21 to get more info about the error and also check the developer trace and post the errors here.

Hello Juan,

setting rdisp/gui_auto_logout to 0 dynamically via RZ11

Can it be done dynamically I mean without restarting SAP servers. or does it need SAP Server re-start

Regards

Does not require restart... any changes done on RZ11 are temporal and will return to the previous value after system restart.

Juan
