ABAP Session ID

Former Member — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:22:50 GMT

Is there a way to get the abap session id progmatically. Or anything which uniquely identifies a session?

Maybe this will work.

report zrich_0002 .
 
data: opcode_get_session_id type x value 68.
data: session_id(32) type c.
data: id_len type i.
 
 
call 'ThUsrInfo' id 'OPCODE' field opcode_get_session_id
          id 'SESSION_ID' field session_id
          id 'ID_LEN' field id_len.
 
write:/ session_id.

Try searching the forum for the term "GUID_CREATE" (the FM).

It might meet your requirement.

ps: I deleted one of your posts. It was a copy& paste from SAPhelp...

Those functions are not (publicly) documented to my knowledge and are subject to change without warning. See the F1 docs....

A better option is to use an FM (preferably a released one) to create an own GUI-ID for your purposes, or a standard API which does the whole job in one shot (see tcode BAPI).

as per my understanding...

suppose i open a new session at the workbench...that session has got an unique ID..which can be retrived using the FM th_get_session_id...

is my understanding correct??

Sorry, I might have been mistaken and posted that to the wrong thread.

Copy&Paste from SAPhelp without showing the source is a bit of a problem, so we reject such posts (to encourage the search) and I must have mistaken one of yours for another.

Sorry about that,

Julius

Perhaps if you explain for which scenario / requirement you need the session ID, then there might be a better way of doing it that c-calling the user info function.

> is my understanding correct??

I see that your question is marked answered, so obviously you got it to work already.

But none-the-less, it would be interesting to know why you need the session ID?

Cheers,
