Hello,
I have been trying to access my PDI for the past week, but each time I try I receive a message stating that the environment was unable to be woken up.
Are there any other steps available to restore access to my PDI?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hello @swethapolis
ServiceNow does a great job with PDIs however there are still some improvement areas including the one you are facing. I would encourage you to release this instance and have new one.
Hope that helps!

Hi @swethapolis
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.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

Hi @swethapolis
As you might know, there is no support available from ServiceNow in relation to PDI, hence you're limited to two options:
- Wait, it should come online after some time.
- If you get tired of waiting, release your instance and request a fresh installation. Please notice, all development work that hasn't been backup will be lost for good.
If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as the accepted solution and give a thumbs up.
