• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_TESTPROXY106 - Your login has already &1 of max. &2 modes open. eCATT SAPGUI will fail! ?

  The error message ECATT_TESTPROXY106 in SAP indicates that the maximum number of allowed sessions (or modes) for a user has been reached. This typically occurs when a user tries to log in to the SAP GUI or execute a test script using eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) while already having the maximum number of sessions open.
  Cause:
  
  Session Limit Reached: Each user in SAP has a limit on the number of concurrent sessions they can have open. This limit is defined in the system profile parameters (specifically, the parameter rdisp/mshost and rdisp/max_active_sessions).
  Multiple Logins: The user may have multiple instances of SAP GUI open, or they may have logged in multiple times without logging out of previous sessions.
  eCATT Execution: When running eCATT scripts, it may attempt to open additional sessions, which can lead to exceeding the allowed limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Close Unused Sessions: Check for any open SAP GUI sessions and close those that are not needed. You can do this by logging out of the sessions or simply closing the SAP GUI windows.
  Increase Session Limit: If you frequently need more sessions, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about increasing the maximum number of allowed sessions for your user profile. This can be done by adjusting the profile parameters in the SAP system.
  Log Off Properly: Ensure that you are logging off properly from all sessions to free up the session slots.
  Use Transaction SM04: As an administrator, you can use transaction SM04 to monitor user sessions and terminate any unnecessary sessions that may be causing the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Profile Settings: The maximum number of sessions can be configured in the user profile settings. You can check your user profile settings using transaction SU01.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to session management and eCATT.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for eCATT and session management for best practices and guidelines.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ECATT_TESTPROXY106 error and continue using eCATT without issues.
