In SAP Profitability and Performance Management there are certain namespaces that must be set to modifiable. To do this, follow the procedure below.

The database connection name has to be specified within the environment settings in SAP Profitability and Performance Management. The database connection name used within the delivered sample content is “DBCON”. To ensure that the activation of the sample content is successful, we recommend you to create a database connection with the same name.
