• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTIM00_UI_TMW039 - You have been switched to display mode due to inactivity ?

  The SAP error message HRTIM00_UI_TMW039 indicates that the user has been switched to display mode due to inactivity. This is a common feature in many SAP applications to ensure system performance and security by automatically logging users out or restricting their access after a period of inactivity.
  Cause:
  
  Inactivity Timeout: The system has a predefined timeout setting that automatically switches users to display mode after a certain period of inactivity. This is often set by the system administrator to prevent unauthorized access and to free up system resources.
  User Session Management: The session management settings in SAP can lead to this message if the user does not interact with the application for a specified duration.
  
  Solution:
  
  User Interaction: To avoid being switched to display mode, ensure that you periodically interact with the application (e.g., clicking buttons, refreshing the page) to reset the inactivity timer.
  Session Timeout Settings: If you frequently encounter this issue, you may want to discuss with your SAP administrator about adjusting the session timeout settings. They can modify the parameters in the system configuration to extend the inactivity timeout duration.
  Log Back In: If you are already in display mode, you may need to log back into the system to regain full access. This typically involves navigating back to the login screen and entering your credentials again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific updates or patches related to session management and timeout settings.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to avoid inactivity and the implications of being switched to display mode.
  System Configuration: Review the system configuration settings related to user sessions and timeouts, which can be found in transaction codes like RZ10 (for profile parameters) or RZ11 (for dynamic parameters).
