IJ14452: GENERATED KPIS FROM KPI TEMPLATE MANAGER ARE CONFUSING OR UNIDENTIFIABLE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating KPIs from a template, all KPIS get given the same
  name as the template. If you rename the created KPI, you can no
  longer regenerate from the KPI template. This makes it very
  hard to manage larger groups of KPIs.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1) Go to KPI Templates and select a template.
  2) Select 'Generate KPIs' on the LHS.
  3) You get a message '9 KPIs have been generated for the XX
  template'.
  4) Go to KPI Manager and you will see 9 KPIs named XX_1..XX_2
  etc.
  
  RESULTS:
  The KPI is given the same name as the template.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  There may be several KPIs from the same template and they
  should have their own name so they are easier to manage.
