How to create and end a session in SAP Screen

You can create a session at any time and from any screen in the system; you will not lose any data in sessions that are already open. You can create up to 6 sessions(max).  Each session you create is as if you logged on to the system again.  Therefore, the system has more work to do which can affect how fast it responds to your requests.

 

To create a new session, you can type /o followed by the transaction name you want to open. Example : From SE11 screen I want to open a new screen of SE38 transaction.

 

 

You can also create sap initial screen by the following option

 

To open a session in the same screen, Just type /N and followed by transaction name.

 

To end a session, just use the below buttons and instruction.

 

 

To exit the application use the menu path:

1. System ® Log Off

2. A popup screen will be displayed 'Unsaved data will be lost. Do you want to log off ?' (This
    message will appear even if you have saved your data.)

•   Select YES to log off the system without saving any changes or updates.
•   Select NO to cancel the log off request.

Warning: If you have several sessions open and you log off with this method instead of end session, it will kill all your sessions.
