Need help restoring reclaimed PDI (dev311933)

badriP · 3 weeks ago

Hello Developers,

My Personal Developer Instance (dev311933) was reclaimed even though I was actively using it. I have now been assigned a new PDI (dev191878), but my previous application and data are missing.

Is there any possibility of restoring my old PDI or recovering my application data?

Thank you.

Hi @James Bustard

In your PDI, what mechanism you followed for Claude setup?

If you have any documentation , can you share please.

Sure.
I essentially have two things setup. One is a sync tool whereby Claude can pull down any file I'm working on to my Mac, I work with it, update said file, then I have Claude push the updated file to my PDI. I have hard gates setup to make sure Claude always checks the update set I'm in at the time, as it's counted as an edit in the PDI. It's worth noting I don't do this for everything; I still dev most of my work, but certain tasks I find can be helped by an LLM.
I also have my PDI backup tool which I alluded to earlier. Attached are a couple of files I had Claude spit out for me re my setup and how to get it setup for yourself. The sync tool is light, so I've included the code we've used. The backup tool takes more work - once the sync tool is in place Claude can setup the backup tool, I wouldn't recommended doing it the other way around.

Attached is the handover work as a PDF. We can't upload MD files here. Have a read, drop them into the LLM of your choosing, and work with it to set it all up. Once done it's an absolute. breeze to both develop and backup.
