Displaying and Managing User Sessions 

Use

You can display and manage all user sessions in the VMC system administration.

You can see which sessions are currently active, inactive or their timeout has expired. You can also display detailed information about each session and you can delete sessions.

Procedure

Displaying Sessions

On the initial screen of the VMC system administration (SM53) in the structure on the left side under Navigation choose Sessions.

You can see the existing user sessions with their state, their type, the user name, session ID and memory consumption. To view detailed information, select a session and choose  Details.

The individual fields in the table are as follows:

Column	Meaning and Value Range
Status	Status of the session. Following values are possible: Active (light bulb glowing): The session is currently bound to a request (user context) (see Resource Management in the VM Container). Not Active (light bulb is grey): The session is not currently bound to a resource. Session Timeout Reached (one hour). The HTTP session has reached a timeout.
Type	There are two session types – RFC and HTTP. Timeouts can only occur with HTTP sessions, not with RFC sessions.
User Name	User to whom this session belongs
Session ID	Unique indicator for this session
Size in Bytes	Memory used by this session
Created On	Time session was generated
Last Access	Last time the session was active

○        

Deleting Sessions

To delete a session, select the session and choose  Delete Selected Sessions.

You should only delete sessions if a timeout has occurred (HTTP) and the sessions have not been cleaned up for a long time (hours), or if there are too many sessions and they have not been used for hours. These situations are however more likely to be the exception.
