PDI offline for days

[João V Freitas]

Hi, my instance has been offline for a few days. I read the warning on the developer homepage saying they are "experiencing issues with Personal Developer Instances" and I'm waiting for it to come back online, but I'm afraid of losing all the progress in the instance. Can someone help?

Hi @João V Freitas 

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:

1. There is no support available for PDI.
2. If you can wait, let's wait a bit longer.
3. 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.

Backup and restore you PDI data using GITHUB

FYI, earlier Backup and restore feature was available for PDI's which is disccontinued since 15 DEC 2022

I don't have any urgent issues involving the instance. The thing is that I've been waiting for a week, and I'm worried about my PDI being claimed back into the pool.

Hi @João V Freitas 

In this case, better release the PDI and get a new one.

Yep, I'm on the same boat and was able to access today, after a week.
