What causes this issue?

Dimension name '&V1&' contains &V3& characters, thus exceeding the
maximum length of &V2&.

the name of the analytic index. If a dimension contains attributes, the
number of characters in the dimension name and the name of the analytic
index together cannot contain more than 43 characters.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

You can either change
the dimension name so that the number of characters does not exceed &V2&
or
create a new analytic index whose name is shorter than the current one,
thus allowing the dimension name to have more characters.
