Symptoms

 Error in Narrative Reporting (NR) - EPRCS when trying to copy a Report Package

ERROR
-----------------------

The copy operation failed and report package could not be copied 

Cause

The reason the copy is failing is due to the very high number of variables within the Report Package.  When copying a Report Package, variables within the Report package are refreshed during the copy.  For Report packages with an extremely large number of variables, this can cause a timeout threshold to be exceeded, resulting in the error cited.

Solution

An alternate solution would be to utilize either Reports/or Books to get this information in the Report Package instead of variables.
