  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LF193 - User &1 already logged on to client &2 ?

    The SAP error message LF193 indicates that a user is already logged on to a specific client in the SAP system. This can happen for various reasons, such as a user attempting to log in multiple times or a session not being properly terminated.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple Logins: The user is trying to log in to the same client while already being logged in.
    2. Session Timeout: The previous session may not have been properly closed, leading to the user being considered still logged in.
    3. Network Issues: Intermittent network issues may cause the system to think the user is still active.
    4. User Lock: The user account may be locked or restricted, preventing a new session from being established.

    Solution:

    1. Log Off Existing Session: If the user is logged in elsewhere, they should log off from that session. This can be done by:

      • Using the transaction code SM04 (User Overview) to see active sessions and log off from there.
      • If you have administrative access, you can terminate the session for the user from the same transaction.
    2. Check for Active Sessions: Use transaction SM04 or AL08 to check for active sessions and see if the user is indeed logged in. If so, you can log them off.

    3. Wait for Timeout: If the session is not actively being used, it may time out on its own after a certain period. You can wait for this timeout to occur.

    4. User Lock: If the user account is locked, the administrator should unlock the account using transaction SU01.

    5. Contact Support: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to contact your SAP Basis team or support for further investigation.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM04: User Overview - to view and manage user sessions.
      • AL08: Global User Overview - to see all users logged into the system.
      • SU01: User Maintenance - to manage user accounts.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.

    • User Management: Ensure that user management policies are in place to prevent multiple logins if that is a concern for your organization.
