Unable to kill one user's session

Hi SAP Experts,
In SAP SCM system, when I view the users list, there is one EMPTY session with UNIDENTIFIED user. If I click the button End Session, SAP throws a message "Make a selection". It seems not able to kill its session.
I have attached the screenshot for your reference as below.
Could you please tell me how to kill that session or find out who the user is ?
Thanks and regards,
Danny Pham

Hello Danny,

Killing ODI Users Disconnected sessions

Hi,
We are accessing ODI via Citrix. More often then not some of the users simply close the application without disconnecting from the repository. This leads to performance degradation as there are many sessions which are not disconnected.
How do I kill those sessions?
Please suggest.

Prerna

Unable to kill work process and user sessions.

Hi Gurus,
Iam facing a different problem in my prd system.Dialog process of a particular user has been running continuosly for long time, when i killed it with cancel with core or with out core option in sm50 still it is starting automatically on different PID and going in to loop.Even though user is not logged in and no back ground jobs are running still the process is running on its own.Even i tried killing the PID from OS level using DPMON but was of no help.
I tried to kill the user session and log him out from sm04 from it was not happening, locked the user also but was of no help.
Has anybody faced this situation?Is there any option excluding restarting the system to solve this issue.
Thanks&Regards
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
In case of multiple instances you have to log off the user from system wide select this option from SM04 while deleting user session again look for the action in SM50 for the process and if possible get details by activating trace from ST05 and filter with user, wp.
Thanks,

Unable to kill a session in SM50 or SM66

One of our developer was working on a program and there was a network failure. When we got the network back the system shows the process is till running since 3 days. Tried to kill it from SM50 and SM66.
While logging in it is giving 3 options and even after selecting "Continue with this logon and end any other logons in system" its not ending that session.
After we logon the program is running good.
How to kill this session??

Why does no-one understand SAP Architecture well enough anymore, I blame bad trainers.
Its like seeing a car driving badly all over the road and blowing up the car rather than shooting the driver.
The WP is not the problem, it is the task in the WP that is.
Killing a user in SM04 or a job in SM37 often works. Then I would try cancelling the program in SM50, not the work process.
If that fails then normally it is waiting on something - often RFC. If RFC a simple removal of the connection in SMGW removes the task from the WP. In this case it looks like a rogue DB process, in this case the WP is just waiting for a response from the DB... killing the WP just gets rid of the visibility in SM50, it does not remove the problem... in fact it then would make my job of identifying why the system is running slow a lot worse.

MTS, Killing the user session?

My db is using MTS connection, while i kill the user session by using alter system kill session, the ever killed process goes to Pseudo status....even i can't kill from unix level because it uses dispatchers...
is there any way i kill the user processes in MTS, with out going to pseduo status

Hi,
AS ORACLE SAID,
If an active session cannot be interrupted (it is performing network I/O or rolling
back a transaction), the session cannot be terminated until the operation completes.
In this case, the session holds all resources until it is terminated. Additionally, the
session that issues the ALTER SYSTEM statement to terminate a session waits up to
60 seconds for the session to be terminated. If the operation that cannot be
interrupted continues past one minute, the issuer of the ALTER SYSTEM statement
receives a message indicating that the session has been "marked" to be terminated.
A session marked to be terminated is indicated in V$SESSION with a status of
KILLED and a server that is something other than PSEUDO.

How to open multiple sessions for one user?

Sorry for the silly question but I couldn't find it googling or searching through this forum, so I started wondering whether it's possible in SQL Developer to open multiple sessions for one user. I'm fairly new to SQL Developer and databases in general.
When I open SQL Developer and connect to a schema, a worksheet opens named MYSCHEMA. If I disconnect then connect, another worksheet opens, named MYSCHEMA~1. I assumed these were different sessions, but if I enter into one worksheet:
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
-- shows result is 1
update my_table set col1 = 0 where row_id = 1
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
-- shows result is 0and then enter into the second worksheet:
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
-- shows result is 0I would have expected the second worksheet to report 1 because the first worksheet did not issue a COMMIT. Thus, I'd guess both worksheets are the same session? Is that right? If so, how do I have two sessions open simultaneously (opened by same user)?
I'm trying to implement the code at the bottom of this post, for which testing requires at least two sessions:

Thanks Jim,
Ctrl-Shift-N doesn't do anything for me. I'm on a mac -- by experimenting it looks like command-N does what you're looking for. This appears to be the same as left-clicking on the "New" icon in the top left corner of SQL Developer, or selecting from the pull-down menu, File > New.
This opens "Create a New" window that appears to be a wizard. What would I select at this point? Options are: Database Connection, Table, View, Package, ...
I don't see an option for "Worksheet".
UPDATE:
OK, I found that if I select "SQL File", a worksheet becomes available. Perhaps this is what you intended. However, when I issue the command
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1;it still returns 0 instead of 1. Hmm, maybe my initial assumption was wrong -- if this is a second (e.g. different) session, should I expect the changes made in the first session in SQL Developer (the UPDATE command) WITHOUT a commit, to be observed in this second session? I thought that changes made in one session were not viewable in a different session until these changes are committed in the first session? If so, how to show this in SQL Developer? I must be missing something basic here.
Or, is SQL Developer issuing some sort of "auto-commit" without my knowledge?

Killing a user session?

Running Essbase 11.1.2 ASO cube...occassionally, when I attempt to kill a user session in EAS, I get the status of "terminating". I try to kill the session using Maxl commands to no avail. I know as a last resort to use task manager to end the ESSSVR.exe process -but I have been burned by this in the past as the database gets corrupted. Does anyone know of a safe method to kill these "terminating" sessions? and why are some easy to kill through EAS and others are not?

Hi ,
You may find the following entries in the application log which means there were hung sessions.
+[Mon Jan 24 13:23:46 2011]Local/ESSBASE0///Error(1013290)+
Failed to logout user []: timeout while waiting for requests to die
+[Mon Jan 24 13:23:46 2011]Local/ESSBASE0///Info(1056092)+
Sessions logged out [0]
However, it is difficult to say why these errors occur exactly. Usually Errors like this occur because there are still processes running in the memory when the next transaction is called.
A vast majority of errors can be avoided by integrating pauses and by unloading the application and then reloading it after each calculation or member/data load.
When you kill a session from the EAS Console for a particular user, you need to wait for some time before the process gets compeltely killed, which perform a restructure or data load or data aggregation. You need to wait untill the process gets killed completely before performing any operations on the application.
Never allow any other user to modify outline or update data whenever the Calculation is running. This can cause the application to go into a hang state and whenever you try to kill and if it fails, then you need to kill the ESSSVR process manually. For instance, follow the below guide lines when running Calc scripts:
1) Never allow any other user to indulge any activity on the application. It is preferred to schedule the batch script as a nightly process, if it is a large operation to avoid user interruption.
2) In case of hangups, use the UNLOCKOBJECT command (ESSCMD) to first unlock all the objects that are accessed by the script (Check the technical reference guide for the command ).
3) Next log off the user using the LOGOUTUSER command, but here if you have multiple sessions of the same user logged in the application, all the sessions will be logged off. In this case use the EAS console and kill all the requests of the user first and then kill the session of the user.
Suggestion:
Try to execute the following MaxL commands as batch script and check if the execution of Calculation script is successful:
spool on to 'D:\output\backup.log';
login admin mypassword on localhost;
alter application <app_name> load database <db_name>;
alter system logout session on database <db_name>;
Shell Sleep 30;
alter system kill request on database <db_name>;
Shell Sleep 30;
alter application <app_name> disable commands;
Shell Sleep 30;
Execute Calculation <app_name>.<db_name>.<calc_name>;
Shell Sleep 30;
alter application <app_name> enable commands;
Shell Sleep 30;
logout;
exit;

Kill user's session via ABAP (like in SM04)

Does anybody knows is it possible to kill user's session via ABAP? Not all session like via TH_DELETE_USER, but selectively, session by session.
Maybe someone know how to trace which logic works when we press "Close session" button in SM04?

Hi Michael,
below a snippet to retrieve the sessions and a way to delete a TID.
Maybe it come in handy for your requirement.

Load more than one user groups to system session variable GROUP from table

hi, I found that the value of the system session variable GROUP can be assigned by setting a sql in initialization blocks.
however, if there are some users with more than one user group.
can this be done by table driven (using sql in initialization blocks) ?
thanks !!

Jsp session problem when more than one user is loging from the same machine

Hi everybody,
I have created a login page and i use to store user name and password using sessions. It is working fine for one user from one machine. But if two or more users logged from the same machine, all the users are getting the same data as of the last user logged in. Also if one user is logged out all user sessions on that machine are expiring (same as previous YAHOO problem).
i think there is problem with session variables. The user name and password which i am storing in session variables are updating the same variables for all users. I think a seperate set of session variables are not creating for each user login.
Can any body help me plz....
regards,
Prasanth.C

First, you need to clear any cookies you are setting.
Second, you need to synchronize some key data fetching blocks in your servlet.
Third, ensure that you are invalidating a session properly.
Don't ask me for more details. Google around for information ;)

Unable to Create Work Document in SharePoint 2010 by one user

Hi,
We have a unique issue. One user in our organisation is not able to create Word Document in our SharePoint environments.
We have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition and Office 2010 Professional Edition. This issue is faced by only one user in our organization. no issues for thousands of other users.
We tested with our multiple SharePoint environments of different type of web applications. No where user is able to create Word Document using New Document functionality.
User is able to create Excel, PowerPoint documents of all extensions. User is able to upload Word Document. User is able to Edit the existing word documents both in browser and Word client.
Since it fails in all SharePoint environments, I am suspecting some common failure point like User Profile issue, CAL etc. Any suggestions from experts like you is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sivanandham,
Could you please test two more options below with the user for narrowing down the issue scope?
Create a new content type inheriting from content type Document and then upload a new word file as the template to the new content type.
Change the word template for the content type with issue when the user creates a document from the content type.
Please also check ULS log for more detailed error for further research.
Best regards,
Victoria

Unable add Signature in Webaccess for one user

We have Signatures setup in Webacces for users that want them
One one user just can't add a signature
When tick box for Enable Signature is enabled the dropdown box for signature is BLANK
New has no effect except to Clear the Enable Signature tick box!
and save has no effect
Tried Text and Html
With new Account I've noticed there is a --- in the Dropdown box - but NOT for this user!
(probably a default account name perhaps)
Anyway to fix this ?

Tried them all....Chrome, IE10, Firefox 25
I check the DB

Run a standalone GWCheck from a Windows machine on the user db in question. I'd start with an Analyze/Fix and take it from there.
Please report back your progress on this issue.
Further to what I've said above, kindly indicate what browser & version is being used, and whether or not you've tried with a different browser.
Thanks.

Audio only working for one user at a time - flash is the cause

but what is the solution?
OSX 10.6.8
flash player 10,3,183,10
If one user is listening to something via some kind of web (flash) media player, and the other user logs on, then this 'new' user is unable to listen to anything at all - all audio is blocked - not just web stuff
I know flash is the cause as I can go to task manager and kill the other person's flash plug in and the sound comes on instantly
I've tried reinstalling but no joy
How can I fix this?

I've reinstalled flash and checked that I have the latest version but this is getting ridiculous
Everytime I want to use skype or itunes or iplayer, I have to log in as the other user, close down all their web browsers, then go back to my account to get it to work, much to the annoyance of the other user.
Flash now: 11.1.102.55
OSX: 10.6.8

How to : only one user in a branch can do the batch process at a time ?

dear gurus,
In ADF web application, accessed by multiple branch (20), there is a
batch process to create invoices from orders. There are 3-5 users in a
branch. one user can process about 30 - 50 orders to become
invoices.
Business rule is : In one batch process, each users must produce
invoices with gapless invoice number. e.g : user_1 create 30 invoices
no.001 - 030, user_2 create 40 invoices no.031-070 ... and so on...
So we want to protect that at a time, in one branch, only one user can
do the batch process. User_2 must wait until user_1 is done to start
the process.
We use the table below to maintain the latest invoice number created :
CREATE TABLE doc_number
DOC_TYPE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BRANCH_CODE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
DOC_NBR NUMBER(12) DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT "DOC_NUMBER_PK" PRIMARY KEY (DOC_TYPE, BRANCH_CODE)
The question is :
I think of locking a spicific row of the doc_number table (select ...
for update wait 10) at the beginning of the batch process stored
procedure.
But what if the session/connection left orphan and the row is lockde
forever before the dba kill it ?
So is there a better approach to limit the user execution of the
process ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Krist

Forget it. See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4343369880986.
However, if you are dead set on doing this old fashioned thing of trying to emulate paper invoices from a numbered tablet, you could always just let everyone generate all of their invoices with no invoice number whenever they want, then at some time ( say 21:00 every day), take a lock on the table and apply invoice numbers to all of the records with a null invoice number -- which will take only a few centiseconds at most. And let the users/system print only invoices that have numbers assigned. This way, you pretty much eliminate the concurrency issue of various branches generating invoices only in their time window -- yuk, what an awful way to have to do business.
And completely forget about users or branches having their own range of numbers. That is completely nuts. Your database already knows which branch owns which invoice, right??
