My PDI dev183008 is offline

[abrouf]

Trying to wake up by clicking "Refresh" but it goes back to offline state, tried many time, no luck, any tips is greatly appreciated. Banner is saying like this-Instance Offline: Recovery may take long. You can wait, or release it now to request a new one. I have many important development works and records are there to backup.

Hi @abrouf 

Several community members have faced the same instance offline issue ( with different error) this week. 

Few community member reported that after 5-6 days their PDI got online and working fine.

I faced the same Instance offline issue post multiple refresh ( waited for 5-6 hours) on last Monday with the following error:

“Bad Request
This combination of host and port requires TLS.”

Since I needed the instance urgently, I released the existing instance through the Developer Portal and requested a new one. I received the new instance within about 2 minutes.

But Yesterday I faced the same issue again, I was getting blank page after start building. So Again I requested the instance as I needed it urgently.

If you’re okay with waiting, you can wait another 1–2 days or possibly longer   and keep refreshing/checking the Developer Portal. Hopefully, your instance will come back online.

Alternatively, if you don’t have any important work or data in your offline PDI, you can follow the same process I did and release the existing instance and request a new one.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any support available for PDI.

PDIs don't come with any support from ServiceNow.

So the only option for you is to wait.
