FITP164 - Details

• The SAP error message FITP164 indicates that there has been a loss of reservation data due to the maximum session duration being exceeded. This typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that manage sessions, such as those involving financial transactions or data entry.
  
  Cause:
  
  Session Timeout: The error is primarily caused by the session timing out. SAP has a predefined maximum session duration, and if a user is inactive for a period longer than this duration, the session will expire.
  System Configuration: The session timeout settings may be configured too low in the SAP system, leading to frequent timeouts.
  Network Issues: Intermittent network connectivity problems can also lead to session drops, causing the loss of reservation data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Session Timeout:
  
  You can increase the session timeout settings in the SAP system. This can be done by adjusting the parameters in the SAP profile settings (e.g., rdisp/gui_auto_logout).
  Consult with your SAP Basis administrator to modify these settings
