Soft Shutdown: Configure TimeoutsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Procedure

Some AS ABAP states during soft shutdown have timeouts that you can configure with profile parameters.

The following table describes the charts:

Parameter Name

Description

rdisp/shutdown/ load_balance_wait_time

This parameter defines how long the SAP kernel waits at shutdown for the sever to be deleted from the load balance information (state WAIT_FOR_LOAD_BALANCE_UPDATE). In this time, all requests can continue to be processed.

Value 0 means that the kernel does not wait, but goes directly into the next shutdown state.

Caution This state has nothing to do with the logged on user or other resources. Rather, it gives clients time to see the server status and as a consequence remove the server from their dispatching.

rdisp/shutdown/ disable_login

GUI logons can be disabled during shutdown (state DISABLE_EXTERNAL_LOGIN). This is valid irrespective of user roles or authorizations.

rdisp/shutdown/ trigger_timeout

This parameter specifies a timeout for starting exclusive actions (state WAIT_FOR_END_OF_EXCLUSIVE_ACTIONS).

Value 0 means that the kernel does not trigger a timeout, and always waits until the autoabap has finished running.

rdisp/shutdown/ auto_logout

This parameter defines how long dialog users can be inactive for during the soft shutdown before they are logged out automatically (state WAIT_FOR_END_OF_SESSIONS).

If a value > 0 is specified here, the maximum waiting time is calculated from the minimum values of parameters rdisp/auto_logout and rdisp/shutdown/auto_logout.

The value 0 means that a timeout is not triggered when waiting. The soft shutdown then waits until rdisp/auto_logout has finished running. If this parameter is also set to 0, the soft shutdown waits until all users have logged off.

rdisp/shutdown/ j2ee_timeout

This parameter defines how long the soft shutdown waits for AS Java to end (state WAIT_FOR_END_OF_J2EE).

Value 0 means that the kernel does not trigger a timeout, and always waits until the AS Java has terminated.

rdisp/shutdown/ idle_wp_timeout

This parameter defines how long the soft shutdown waits for all work processes to be in waiting state (state WAIT_FOR_IDLE_WPS).

Value 0 means that the kernel does not trigger a timeout, and always waits until all work processes have the state waiting.
