Hi,

My Lookup Editor is 2.0.3 version and splunk is 7.3.3.

When i am trying to open my lookup file within an any existing app i am getting the below error

" The requested lookup file does not exist." I upgraded lookup editor version to 2.6.0 still gettig this error.

But i am able to open this lookup while through lookup editor app i am able to see my lookup.

Any suggestion on how to fix this?

Thanks!

How did you open lookup in app context ? 

who is the owner of lookup?

has the lookup been migrated from old search head to new search head ?

you should change the permissions in lookups knowledge object found in settings. If there is definition for the lookup you should change permission in lookup definition also.
