Error “Applying template "BICenterSite#0" to web at URL “when trying to create a Business Intelligence Center site.

Issue: Error “Applying template "BICenterSite#0" to web at URL “when trying to create a Business Intelligence Center site.

Error message: Applying template "BICenterSite#0" to web at URL.

ULS Logs View:

Troubleshooting:

Check if the PerformancePoint Features is activated on the site collection and Site level.

Deactivated and Activated the Performance Point features on site collection level and site level.

Tried to create a new site using some different  template.

Tried to create BI site at another site and no issue found.

Based on the correlation ID in USL logs found the error and checked on net and found that Performance Point Feature has high dependency on the Publishing features on the site collection and site level.

Resolution:

According to the error in the ULS Logs message, it seems that issue was caused by some features not activated. So tried to activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature at the site collection level and SharePoint Server Publishing, and then try to create the site again. It should work.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know.

I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, thank you.
