Symptom
The user session is timing out after 30 minutes and displaying the error message "Session has timed out." even though the SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES = 120.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the application 'Manage Launchpad Settings' and search for 'SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES'.
- Click 'Edit' and set SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES = 120.
- Open an application which is retrieving data.
- Remain idle for 30 minutes.
- The ABAP session timeout will be triggered.
Cause
This is expected behavior for applications that are retrieving data.
Resolution
The timeout interval 'SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES' is only applicable to applications that do not require data retrieval. If the application does require data retrieval, the default ABAP timeout interval of 30 minutes will be applied.
