Multiple Sessions when using Fiori

building reports webintelligence

BI 4.2 Service Pack 5 - Our customers have created what they call Dashboard/Landing Pages which is a single Web Intelligence report and maybe several tabs, each tab contains various tiled images and hyperlinks to other Web Intelligence reports utilising the document link to go to that report.

The document link for the Dashboard/Landing page Webi report is as example
https:///OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AQHAcaRWDetJoW7b35nUc1o

And when this is consumed and various report hyperlinks clicked, whether the target hyperlink open in current page or new window/browser tab there is only ever one session for that customer listed in CMC regardless of how many tiles they have clicked.

If we change the document link to be consumed within BI Launchpad aka Fiori and add the following to the link &sViewer=fiori
https:///OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AQHAcaRWDetJoW7b35nUc1o&sViewer=fiori

Then anytime a hyperlink is clicked it creates a new session for that user, we can quite easily end up consuming all of our concurrent licence keys and alas this is going to happen quite often, our users like Fiori especially as report content looks good on mobile devices.

Is there any configuration I can do to prevent this from happening and make it behave correctly only one session for the user and behave like it does with the first hyperlink example provided?

Replying to my own posting to extend on the question posed.

If someone has the time and has BI 4.2 Service Pack 7 installed would they mind checking if the behaviour within Service Pack 7 is the same, aka multiple sessions for a user account.

I’d be grateful to the person(s) whom would be able to do this for me, we are on Service Pack 5 and due to cost savings terminated support, if SP7 works without issues as explained above then I can then push my management to engage with SAP to get us upgraded.

Opendocument() consumes sessions for us too on BI4.2 Sp6.

I’m not sure there is a way around this…worse still, the sessions are no released when the user logs off (we are using SSO pass through)

Thank you James for doing this and checking, much appreciated, I probably won’t pester my managment now to go for the upgrade if this is still an issue, I will lock down our BILaunchpad Fiori to prevent issues.
