User Session Termination
If there has been no user action in the system for a certain time, the SAP GUI for HTML terminates user Web browser sessions by default.
If this occurs, you may see the following message:
Invalid session
You have tried to use a WWW session that has already been terminated. You should restart your session. If the problem persists you should close the World Wide Web browser and open it again.
To restart a session, just follow the instructions.
