    Hi Par,

    Just to add to the above, in order to offer more autonomy to SAAS customers and remove the need for opening tickets for certain activities (such as creating a new application), OS has recently released the Cloud Administration Tools (CAT), under Marketplace.

    I encourage you to download and have a look.

    Here's the short description of the Application Management part of this solution:

    "Application Management
    Application Management maintains OneStream applications in a cloud environment.
    System administrators can copy existing applications, and create, replace, or remove
    new applications within OneStream. With Application Management, administrators
    can make changes for testing or archival purposes. This functionality is only available
    to members of the administrator’s security group. "

Henning thank you for your clarification. We're a SAAS customer and the "Create Application Database") is deactivated. I'll raise a support ticket to have a new application created.

FredLucas thank you for your recommendation. I've used CAT, and it worked great for copying an application. But it doesn't appear to have the ability to create an application; maybe because we're a SAAS customer.

    Hi, thanks for the feedback! I went through the documentation for CAT and found this:

    I also understood the quote from FredLucas in a way that with the latest release it may be possible to create applications from scratch. However, it seems that this is still using the functionality I remember. One can only create a new application based on a copy of an existing app. Creating a new app from scratch seems not possible using CAT. If that is correct, then opening a ticket is the only way (unless someone creates a copy and removes all content of the copy.... which is a lot more work than opening a ticket).
