Parameter
rdisp/max_alt_modes
Short text
Maximum number of sessions
Parameter Description
You can use this parameter to restrict the maximum number of sessions that an SAP GUI user can open per logon. However, you should only change this if the circumstances require it (for example, if there are too many sessions or not enough free session memory). Note that in certain situations the system may automatically create new, hidden sessions (for example, for front-end printing). You can change the parameter dynamically. The changes apply for all logons that occur after the parameter change.
Caution
Up to and including release 6.10, SAP GUI can display a maximum of 6 external sessions. In all newer releases, you can configure a maximum of 16 sessions. If you want to set the parameter to a value higher than 6, you therefore require a SAP GUI of release 6.20 or higher.
