Note: This topic is relevant only if the user session management feature is enabled in your SAP CC system. |
The user session begins when the user accesses the Core Tool user interface and ends when the user quits the Core Tool user interface or when the administrator terminates the session.
The following characteristics of user sessions are configured at system level:
The maximum period during which the session remains inactive
The maximum number of sessions allowed for the same user on Core Tool
When the session is inactive for a period longer than the period configured at system level, the session expires and you have to authenticate.

A new session starts and you are allowed to continue working with the Core Tool.
|
Caution: When the session expires, objects opened in edit mode are not protected against concurrent edition any longer. |
The following actions in the Core Tool prevent the session from being inactive and expiring:
Opening an object
Saving an object
Clicking the root of an object tree
On the contrary, modifying a field without saving the object does not prevent the session from expiring. The session is considered as inactive.
If you try to open more sessions on Core Tool than the maximum number of sessions authorized, the following error displays:

You are not allowed to connect to another instance of Core Tool until one of your sessions ends.
You can close your session by disconnecting from Core Tool.
If the Core Tool you were connected to has failed, contact your system administrator. He can close your session by using Admin+.
