Symptoms

During a POV, the SAP Analytics license was activated but they still encountered errors with copying KPI definition as instructed by the online documentation.

Screenshot of the issue:

After trying to 'copy as', they were not able to edit the KPI name to create a new KPI.

Solution

The name of a new or copied KPI should start with Z* or Y*.

Version 1811 allows copying also non-Z* KPIs.
