ServiceNow Citizen Developer

I am a newbie and I am trying to learn by using Yokohama Citizen Developer learning portal. I am unable to download any exercise files (screenshot attached).

 

All I get is a blank page. For example, when I tried to download the Todoproject.xlsx file from the link: https://developer.servicenow.com/dev_download.do?sysparm_filename=files/todoproject.xlsx&sysparm_pro...


This file is needed for Create The To Do Tables exercise.

 

If someone can help me how to download the exercise file or an alternate location to download the exercise files would help me a lot. Thank you!

 

If you need further info please let me know.

 

Cheers!

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG 

 

Thank you for your reply. I have done some digging around and found the issue.

 

When I tried to download the ToDoProject.xlsx from Zurich and Yokohama versions, the download fails:

 

  • Zurich link:

https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/learn/courses/zurich/app_store_learnv2_aescreateappfromscr...

 

  • Yokohama link:

https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/learn/courses/yokohama/app_store_learnv2_aescreateappfroms...

 

 

However, when I clicked on Xanadu and the download worked.

 

  • Xanadu

https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/learn/courses/xanadu/app_store_learnv2_aescreateappfromscr...

I am also attaching a screenshot highlighting the path, which is:

https://developer.servicenow.com/
Select "Learn"

From the dropdown select "Courses"

Then scroll down to the heading "Create an App from Scratch with App Engine Studio"

Under the heading you will find a card titled "Create an App and Data Model" then click "Start Module" button

From the side bar select "Exercise: Create the To do Tables"

In the exercise, step 1 has a link: Download the Todoproject.xlsx file. Click on the link Todoproject.xlsx

 

Ensure the heading on the webpage "Content available for: Zurich Yokohama Xanadu

 

When Zurich and Yokohama is selected the download fails and under Xanadu the download works.

 

I hope I provided the right links. Thanks!

Hi @A_Dost,

 

this is a ServiceNow issue, not yours. I tried it and also cannot download it and I remember one more person posting it here as well.

 

Please navigate to here:

and click Create case on the right side - it will create a Case for ServiceNow dedicated team to review it and fix it.

Hi @A_Dost 

 

Here's the file. I was able to download it by right-clicking on the link and selecting 'Open link in a new tab'.

@Simon Hendery I misinterpreted myself, it's okay to download it but not to open it..

It is saved as "dev_donwload.do" and it cannot be opened and neither change the file extension, always gets blocked

As same as:

https://www.servicenow.com/community/servicenow-studio-forum/need-download-file-for-zurich-exercise-... 

 

Any ideas?
