Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 14411 - Maximum number of GUI sessions reached ?

  The SAP error message "14411 Maximum number of GUI sessions reached" indicates that a user has reached the maximum number of allowed GUI sessions in the SAP system. This limit is set by the system administrator and is intended to prevent excessive resource consumption on the server.
  Cause:
  
  Session Limit Reached: Each user is allowed a certain number of concurrent sessions (typically set to 6 by default). If a user tries to open more sessions than allowed, this error will occur.
  Unclosed Sessions: Users may have multiple sessions open and may not have closed them properly, leading to reaching the session limit.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of sessions can be configured in the SAP system settings, and it may be set lower than the default.
  
  Solution:
  
  Close Unused Sessions: Check for any open SAP GUI sessions and close those that are not in use. You can do this by navigating through the open sessions in the SAP GUI and closing them.
  Log Off: If you are unable to close sessions individually, you can log off from the SAP system completely and then log back in, which will close all sessions.
  Increase Session Limit: If you frequently need more sessions, you can request the system administrator to increase the maximum number of allowed sessions for your user profile. This can be done by changing the parameter rdisp/gui_auto_logout or adjusting user profile settings in transaction SU01.
  Check for Background Processes: Sometimes, background processes or transactions may be running in the background, consuming sessions. Ensure that these are not left running unnecessarily.
