Contents

OMAS

Applicability Criteria

Any functionality described in Managing Network Features > List of Network Features in the OMAS2 Manual is included.

Why Settings Are Needed

OMAS submissions and approvals for each feature are needed for the application to use network features.
The OMAS request sets up and configures servers to enable development of the network features used by titles.

Applications that require an OMAS request as part of the applicability criteria cannot be submitted to Lotcheck until the OMAS request phase has progressed to During Development/Lotcheck Queue. Make sure that an OMAS request has been submitted before clicking the Submit button on NDP. Clicking the Submit button without progressing the OMAS request causes an error in NDP.
