Maximum Internal Sessions Reached

[Sue Doughty]

Hi Mark,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Yes, PA40 can be performed normally when not done from the Workflow.

 

If I start from the workflow log and execute PA40, I only get to the
second screen before I get the error.  How am I using nine sessions?
>From the log, is Display Work item one session, then Execute one session
and then clicking the decision button one session, etc?  Is each screen
of PA40 considered an internal session?

G'day Sue,

Internal Sessions are the levels you drill down through and can back
navigate through. External Sessions are the GUI level windows you can
see and can have a maximum of 6 per login. 

Internal Sessions are created each time you drill down inside an
interactive ABAP. If you've been on the ABAP courses then you may
remember drilling down from SPFLI, through SFLIGHT and down to SBOOK
maybe even then into SCUSTOM. This would represent 4 internal sessions.
There is a hard maximum of 9 of these. 

As to why the navigation you performed before upgrade and now is being
treated differently I don't know. Can you process PA40 normally when not
going via the WF?

Good luck,
Mark

We are on ECC 6.0.

 

We have a custom workflow that is triggered by the APPLICATIO CREATED
event.  This workflow also has several sub-workflows that are executed.

 

When in DEV, I execute the steps of the workflow from within the log
(right click the step, click display work item, then Edit--> Change,
then execute) (when the work item is not in my in-box) or I click the
In-box button from within the log to execute steps from my in-box (if
they are in my in-box).  I always come back to the log, refresh it and
execute the next step.  

 

I have a step in one of the sub-workflows that executes transaction PA40
- Hire Applicant action.  When I get to this step in the workflow, I get
one or two screens into the PA40 transaction and then get "Maximum
Internal Sessions Reached" and it kicks me out of the transaction.

 

When I look in SM21, it says that the maximum of nine internal sessions
has been reached.  It also says that nine internal sessions are allowed
for each external session.  I'm not understanding how I can be using
nine internal sessions....and don't know where to look to see what they
are.

 

Has anyone encountered this or can anyone explain how I can find out the
internal sessions that I am creating?

 

We are in the middle of End of Year Support Pack testing and have a
go-live date of Dec. 1.  This did not happen before the Support Packs
were applied.

 

Thank you for your help.
