Can I reconnect to a GUI session after network disconnection?

[RL999]

Hi,

I have the following scenario:

1. I have a SAP GUI (720) session open, e.g., transaction SE80.

2. My network connection/VPN goes down. The SAP GUI session terminates with the message:

"<SID>:connection to partner '<host>' broken..."

3. I fix my network connection and logon to SAP again

4. The dialog box "Lisence information.." gives me the option to keep other sessions

The question is if I can keep the old session (it shows in SM51) and reconnect to this, so that I can continue editing the screen I was working in?

You should end the disconnected session and login to the server. i think there is no option available in SAP to reconnect to a GUI session after network disconnection.

This used to be possible in the 4.6C days:

But I've not seen it available since then. Which is a shame as it was very useful

Oh I remember this and it was very useful. Even if all the context had changed at least you got back all your sessions.

With ADT you will be able to to save your workspace so this wont be an issue as much when NW74 and ADT rules the world.

Hi,

I don't think that SAP would provide session reconnection since when connection is broken, data which has not been saved yet will be rollback.

For session which is showed to you when you are logging again is broken session and it's zombie session. You can kill those session since this no use and wasting your memory resources.
