App Engine Studio can't create app

[stephanwoeb]

Hi,

I am brand new to this and so is my PDI. Haven't found any helpful information on this, even the error message is widely discussed.

Whenever I try to create an app in App Engine Studio I get the following error:

   Unable to create this application. Go back to the create app experience and enter a different scope name.
   Details: Failed to create templated object, details: This scope is already taken by another application

Now, as I say, the PDI is brand new, so there is no app created before. Thus I believe the scope name should not be blocked. Plus, I tried different names (sittin' on the keyboard, you know...). Plus I checked the table of scopes, they are not all in there... Tried Zurich and Yokohama release, Zurich several times. Tried to do a manual installation of App Engine Studion even once.

What can I say, never got anywhere, error message persists. I only want to start with it and do the very first tutorial! Even that doesn't work. Obviously my debugging abilities here are limited, that's why I wanted to use a tutorial first...

Thanks in advance,

Stephan

Hi @stephanwoeb,

The reason for the problem is that your ServiceNow instance already has the scope name you're trying to use for your application. To fix this, try creating a unique scope name by beginning your application name with a distinctive identifier, like your initials. Additionally, to make sure the requested scope isn't already in use, check the existing scope using sys_scope.list.

If the problem continues, think about creating an application with ServiceNow Studio.

Hi Muhammad, thanks for your effort, but as I wrote in the post, I tried various names. No matter what I try the error persists. So I am pretty sure it's not because of a match with any table.

Hi Nikhil, thanks for your effort, but as I wrote in the post, I tried various names. No matter what I try the error persists. So I am pretty sure it's not because of a match with any table. So the link does not really help as it highlights another issue.
