Symptom
Session times out after 30 minutes in certain applications, despite maintaining higher session timeout parameters in the Manage Launchpad Settings app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
The session timeout for SAP GUI apps running in the Fiori Launchpad consists of two parts:
- UI session
- Back-end session
The UI-side timeout for the SAP Fiori Launchpad is determined by the following parameters in the 'Manage Launchpad Settings' app:
- SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES
- SESSION_TIMEOUT_REMINDER_IN_MINUTES
- SESSION_TIMEOUT_STOP_DATA_REFRESH
However, there is a fixed timeout of 30 minutes in the ABAP back end for S/4HANA Public Cloud, which applies to 'SAP GUI' and 'Web Dynpro applications'. This value cannot be changed.
Therefore, the application session times out after 30 minutes.
