This is not possible.

The workprocess doesn´t know anything about a direct "user connection". Each request (each click) will send a request to the dispatcher and the dispatcher then passes the requests forward to a free work process. The ABAP engine will then switch the context of the current workprocess to the requsts of the user. If there was a fixed assignment, you would need the same number of workprocesses as there are number of users logged on to the system.

Some applications do things in parallel, means, although the user is connected only once to the system and is using just one mode, the application itself triggers an asynchronous call to a second workprocess (e. g. when a workflow is started/executed or in many areas of PP).

For batch processes there´s a possibility to use Redwood Cronacle (which you get for free as external software if you have a Netweaver contract). This software enables you to configure a "job interception" so that you have a separate permission (so to speak) which users can submit jobs that run directly and which users can submit jobs but they are execute later on a specific time.

Hi!

As was said, this is not directly possible. Nonetheless depending on the kind

of problems you're facing there could be options to limit the quota of resources

for certain operations (server groups), so that for example a dataload job cannot

block your complete system.
