This can occur for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  System Resource Issues: Insufficient memory or CPU resources can lead to process termination.
  Timeouts: Long-running processes may exceed predefined time limits, causing them to be terminated.
  Database Locking: If a database lock is held by another transaction, it can prevent the current transaction from completing.

  Program Errors: Bugs or errors in custom ABAP programs or standard SAP programs can cause unexpected terminations.

  Solutions:
  
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SM21) and short dump analysis (transaction ST22) to identify the specific cause of the termination.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If timeouts are an issue, consider increasing the timeout settings for the relevant processes.
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction ST03 or ST04 to monitor system performance and resource usage. If resources are low, consider optimizing or upgrading the system.

  Review Configuration: Ensure that all relevant configuration settings are correct and aligned with best practices.
  Debugging: If the error is related to a custom program, use the ABAP debugger to trace the execution and identify the point of failure.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action that led to the termination.
