This can happen for various reasons, including but not limited to:
  Causes:
  
  Debugging Mode: The backend system might be in debugging mode, and the process was interrupted by a user or an error in the code.
  Exceptions in Code: There may be unhandled exceptions in the ABAP code that are causing the backend processing to terminate unexpectedly.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the request may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action, leading to an abrupt termination.
  System Configuration: Misconfigurations in the backend system or issues with the service definition can lead to this error.
  Performance Issues: Long-running processes or timeouts can also lead to this error if the backend cannot complete the request in a timely manner.
  Transport Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the transport of objects between systems, it can lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Debugging: Ensure that the backend system is not in debugging mode. If it is, exit the debugger and try the request again.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) and the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or stack traces that can provide more context on the issue.
  Error Handling: Review the ABAP code for proper error handling. Ensure that exceptions are caught and handled appropriately.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the service. Use transaction SU53 to check for authorization failures.
