PDI instance stuck offline – cannot activate (dev294970)

Hi everyone,

My Personal Developer Instance (dev294970) is currently showing as Offline, and I’m unable to bring it back online.

Here are the details:

  • Version: Zurich
  • Tried clicking Refresh multiple times
  • Tried accessing the instance URL directly
  • Status remains Offline

It has been like this since this morning.

Is there a way to manually wake it up, or does this require admin intervention?

Thanks in advance!

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

Hi @AbdessamadA9960 ,

 

My Zurich PDI is absolutely working fine since morning. 

 

You wait for some time . If your  your Servicenow Developer PDI  has been stuck in a "launching," "waking up"  or not getting online state for more than 24 hours, then  I will  advice you  to release the instance and request a new one. 

 

As you know there is no support available for PDI.

 

 

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

Hi @AbdessamadA9960,

 

I'm also using Zurich version PDI and it's working fine. Please try to logout and login back in https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do and try to access from the manage my instance and refresh it. If it's not working, then request a new instance. Because since we don't have any support service for PDI.

Thanks & Regards,
Srikanth Akula.
