I've been using PDI without any issues since this morning, but I've noticed several posts in the community about PDI being offline. Here are some points to consider:

 

There is no support available for PDI.

If you can wait, let's wait a bit longer.

You can release this instance and start a new one, but you will lose your previous data. To avoid losing update sets in the future, make sure to take regular backups of your PDI.

There have been 3-4 posts in the community today about PDI failures or unavailability. Based on the responses, you might need to wait 1-2 days and hopefully, the PDI will be back online.

Hi @varunmadhah 

 

PDIs sometimes go offline for unscheduled maintenance (not for all). They usually recover automatically within a few minutes to a few hours.

  • Refresh Your Instance: Log into the ServiceNow Developer Portal, navigate to your instance settings, and click Refresh.
  • Release and Claim: If your instance remains unresponsive for an extended period (more than 24 hours/48 hours), you can release the PDI and request a fresh one

There is no support available for PDI.

Please Accept the solution if it assisted you with your question & Mark this response as Helpful.

Hello @varunmadhah ,

 

Don’t worry buddy. I also faced the same situation. It took almost one day for my PDI to come back online. Around 2–3 weeks ago, my PDI also went offline, but by evening it automatically came back online. Maybe it’s a ServiceNow glitch or some other temporary issue.

My colleague’s PDI also went offline 2 days ago, and it became online again after some time.

So just wait for a while.

 

If this helps you then mark it as helpful and accept as solution.

Regards,

Aditya ,

Hi @varunmadhah ,

 

as you might know, there is no support from ServiceNow available in releaseops to PDIs, hence you’re limited to two options:

  • wait, it should come online again
  • Relesee the instance and request a fresh installation.

 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as the accepted solution and give a thumbs up.

Best regards
Anders
