I am fairly new to QSDA. I have linked QSDA to mulitple Qlik Cloud tenants. On one tenant, all apps that I try to analyze fail with the message: Error opening app: Null return from OpenApp.

What could be the cause for this error?

This error is likely security related. Do these apps have section access applied?

Okay, only a couple have it, but most of them don’t have section access. What other security reasons could there be?

Take a look in the log for any error messages. If you have QSDA 3.2 or later, use the menu \> Admin \> Error Logs. Otherwise look in c:\program data\EasyQlik\QSDA\log.

What type of authentication are you using? ApiKey or OAuth?

If you are using OAuth authentication, make sure the user created for OAuth (same name as the OAuth configuration in the Qlik Admin Console) has a license assigned and sufficient roles to open the App.

Gotcha!  
I am using OAuth and the user created for OAuth did not have a license. I assigned a license and now it works
