  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDM023 Action canceled by user typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when a user cancels an operation or action that was in progress. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a user is trying to execute a transaction, perform a data operation, or interact with an application that uses OData services.
  Cause:
  
  User Intervention: The most straightforward cause is that the user manually canceled the action, either by clicking a cancel button or closing the dialog.

  Solution:
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the expected behavior of the application and the importance of waiting for operations to complete.
  Performance Optimization: Investigate and optimize the performance of the system or the specific transaction that is causing delays. This may involve checking for long-running queries, optimizing database performance, or improving network connectivity.
  Error Handling: Implement better error handling in the application to provide users with feedback on the status of their actions, which may reduce the likelihood of cancellations.
  Monitoring and Logging: Enable logging to capture when and why users are canceling actions. This can help identify patterns or specific issues that need to be addressed.
  User Interface Improvements: Consider improving the user interface to provide clearer indications of progress, such as loading indicators or status messages, to reassure users that the system is working.
