How to resolve BBCP abend in CICS?

Hi All,
While invoking a CICS transaction via a batch job, we were facing a BBCP CICS abend. we tried to find more information about it and understood that CICS/Mainview terminates a transaction if it uses more CPU cycles. In order to make it work fine, we just restart the transaction and then it works fine.
Did any one of you face similar issues? If so, what is the solution for that? How does it go fine after restarting?

After Googling "BBCP ABEND" it took me to the BMC community web-site, which Enrico posted -

communities.bmc.com/communities/message/287114

and found -

"BBCP is the ABEND code used by MV/CICS when a transaction is abended by the "Task Kill Exit" after consuming too many CPU cycles. This is a feature of MV/CICS that assists in preventing looping or otherwise bad transactions.

Please refer to the "MainView for CICS Customization Guide", Chapter 7 "Optional Implementation Procedures" and the section entitled "Implementing the Task Kill Function" for more information."
