Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QEVT004 - Application &1 is already opened as browser window and will be used. ?

  The SAP error message QEVT004 indicates that the application you are trying to open is already running in a browser window. This can happen when you attempt to open the same SAP application or transaction in multiple tabs or windows of your web browser.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Instances: You may have already opened the application in another tab or window of the same browser.
  Session Management: SAP has session management rules that prevent the same application from being opened multiple times to avoid conflicts and data integrity issues.
  Browser Cache: Sometimes, browser caching issues can lead to this error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Open Tabs/Windows: Look for any other tabs or windows in your browser where the same SAP application is already open. If you find it, you can switch to that tab/window instead of trying to open a new one.
  Close Existing Session: If you do not need the existing session, you can close it and then try to open the application again.
  Use Different Browsers: If you need to work with multiple instances of the same application, consider using different web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) to open separate sessions.
  Clear Browser Cache: If you suspect that caching is causing the issue, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then restart the browser and attempt to access the application again.
  Log Out and Log In Again: If the issue persists, log out of your SAP session completely and log back in to refresh your session.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP GUI vs. Web GUI: If you are using the SAP GUI for HTML (Web GUI), the same rules apply. Ensure that you are not trying to open the same transaction in multiple tabs.
  Session Limits: Be aware of the session limits set by your SAP system. Some systems may restrict the number of concurrent sessions a user can have.
  Browser Compatibility: Ensure that you are using a compatible browser version as recommended by your SAP system documentation.
  
  If the problem continues after trying these solutions, it may be helpful to consult your SAP Basis team or system administrator for further assistance, as they can provide insights specific to your SAP environment.
