SAP CRM – WebUI Sessions Restarting
WebUI Sessions & Memory

Let’s say that you have users who are complaining that their WebUI sessions are restarting while they are in
the middle of a transaction.
There are two way to approach this issue; first we can check the customizing and second we can debug.
Customizing
Step 1:
Logon to SAPGUI and execute transaction spro
Step 2:
SAP Reference IMG -> Customer Relationship Management -> UI Framework -> Technical Role
Definition -> Define Technical Profile -> select the Technical Profile in question (we will use
DEFAULT in this example using Business Role SALESPRO) and click on the magnifying glass
Step 3:
From the screenshot below, you can see that the Memory Threshold for Restart is set to 100 MB.
Remember empty means no restart.

Step 4:
Now launch WebUI using SALESPRO Business Role
Step 5:
Check the memory consumption by using transaction SM04 and you can see that the WebUI session
is using 18MB
Step 6:
Run a few transactions or reports on the WebUI and you will see it increase…
Step 7:
As soon as the Memory Threshold reaches 100MB the session will restart. To overcome this issue,
you might want to increase the threshold.

Debugging
Step 1:
Put a breakpoint in Method GET_MEMORY_THRESHOLD of Class CL_CRM_UI_TP_SRV
Step 2:
Session restarts are handled by Method HANDLE_RESTART of Class
CL_CRM_UI_SESSION_RESTART. You should put another breakpoint there

Step 3:
st
Now launch WebUI and after you have selected the Business Role (if you have an option), the 1
breakpoint will be hit. You can see from the screenshot below that the value for
GS_TECH_DETAILS-MEMORY_THRESHOLD is 100. You can change this to a smaller number
during debugging as reaching 100MB might take a lot of time. You can then hit F8 on your keyboard
to exit the debugger and you will be back in WebUI
Step 4:
nd
As soon as it reaches its maximum, it will hit the 2 breakpoint. As you can see that
restart_requested has the value X which is true
Step 5:
You will still see only one session in SM04 but if you compare the Time, it will be different.
