Setting FIORI gateway time-out and time-out warning

FIORI user use the browser. For security it is important that the browser session has a limited life time. The end user is normally annoyed by this, since when he clicks after a long time, the user gets a server error, which is difficult to understand.

Questions that will be answered in this blog are:

  • How can I set a time-out for my FIORI tiles?
  • How can I set a warning time for the end users that their FIORI session is about to time-out?
  • Can I limit the amount of FIORI sessions?

  1. Is there a specific SAP_UI version required for these parameters to be available? We do not see them available in our FLP configuration parameters .. we are on S/4 HANA 2020, SAP_UI 753 SP10

    1. Hi Casper, note 3034757 – Fiori session timeout setting SESSION_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES does not appear to work accurately mentions it works as of 1909 already.
      You might need to add the parameters manually.
