How to Restricting multiple sap logon

Updated May 18, 2018

Parameter: login/disable_multi_gui_login

Short description: deactivating multiple dialog logon

Parameter description :

If this parameter is set to value 1, multiple dialog logons to the R/3 System (in the same client and under the same user name) are blocked by the system:

When the system recognizes a multiple logon, it displays a dialogbox with the options "Terminate the current sessions" or "Terminate this logon".

This parameter works with SAPgui logons.

System logons using the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) or Remote Function Call (RFC) are not affected by this profile parameter.

This does not work. The parameter login/disable_multgui_login which is to be updated in RZ10(Tcode) even when set to 1 , or 0 , in both cases
pops up a screen with 3 radio buttons of options, continue with current and terminate other login, terminate current login, allow both login with warning that this will be documented for audit by SAP.

But it does not prevent the multi login even when disbale parameter is set to 1.

have u restarted the instance

yes even after restarting, the instance system only warns but three options are still shown for user to select.
The system gives option to terminate this or any other session, instead of just warning that you cannot logon.

You have to activate the profile and then restarting the instance

Delete your user profile by going on database level on SQL Prompt sorry correction below..

Delete from sapsr3.usr02 where BNAME='your_user_name' and MANDT='***';
here *** is your client number
This should work

Dear Friends, restarting instance, activating profile , all was done.
The issue is that the logon screen normally still gives three radio buttons, one to exit, one to continue with multilogin, and one to kill other sessions.
Even after changing multilogon value to 1, and disbaling multilogon in profile
the logon screen still gives radio button one to exit and one to kill other user logged on with same id. The middle radio button (allow multilogon with recording) is only removed. What was needed that user should have no option but to exit, and be able to kill other logins.

We resolved this by modifying GuiXT script, and disabling display of all radio buttons, with message "This id is in use. Pl try after sometime"
It works
Thanks

Is it possible to set the second option as default. I mean is it possible to use multiple log on option as default in SAP gui login..

yes it is possible to use multiple log on in SAP gui.

we use rz11 transaction code to read the description related to login.
then we use the rz10 transaction code to set multiple GUI login .
we changes in instance profile.
