The SAP FIORI users access the system via a web browser. For security reasons, it's important to set a limited session lifetime for the browser. However, this can be frustrating for end users, as they may encounter a server error when attempting to interact with the system after a long period of inactivity. This error is often difficult to understand and resolve.
This blog will explain how to configure a more user-friendly session timeout and warning for SAP FIORI pages.
The following questions will be addressed:
- How can I set a session timeout for my FIORI tiles?
- How can I configure a warning to notify end users that their FIORI session is about to expire?
- Is it possible to limit the number of concurrent FIORI sessions?
Time-Out Settings for SAP FIORI.
To configure session timeout settings for Fiori, follow these steps:
- Open the SAP GUI and enter transaction code /UI2/FLP_SYS_CONF.
In the system configuration screen, set the values for the following two parameters:
2. SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES: This parameter defines the total session lifetime (in minutes). Once this time is reached, the session will automatically expire.
3. SESSION_TIMEOUT_REMINDER_IN_MINUTES: This parameter defines how far in advance (in minutes) a warning will be shown to users before their session expires.
Set these values according to your company’s needs. Once you've decided on the appropriate times, press Save to apply the changes.
Note: This parameter will be available from SAP_UI 754.
Time-out warning for End User:
The result for the end user is a more user-friendly warning, giving them the option to either continue or log out.
