Exercise system is very slow
Hi Pega Community,
I'm doing the System Architect Essentials and I'm currently on the Exercise: Designing a data model. When I open the training environment (the cloud solution) it takes exceedingly long to load. After it's loaded adding fields or configuring proces steps barely doable. The system is unworkable. I've added a GIF (run time 2 minutes) showing the problem.
I have tried resetting the exercise system, but it only seems to be going slower.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Thanks in advance, best regards, Vincent

Maybe it helps for new Pega consultants to know that after a few hours I tried again and now it runs very smooth. I think I got rerouted to another Pega cloud server. In the mean time you can always continue other assignments.

@nadem1 Hello, March 2021 here, currently doing the exercises on the low code app builder mission. Whenever i click on the "Type" in Adding fields for steps, the whole pega instance would crash, making it impossible to continue the exercise.

Same issue here
Proprietary information hidden (hello!)
Similar course - Business Architect Essentials, which takes user through extremely similar steps as the System Architect Essentials.
Issue is Data Source related, exercise system for course section 18 of 29, Configuring Reference Data.
Tonight is better than last night where I just stopped, skipped the exercise, moved forward. Thought I'd try tonight to retry it. After a minute tonight it did come back, but still extremely frustrating. Just back from vacation so needed to get in the system, but...hopefully some folks will see this and help.

Hi Nicholas,
I'm currently running the exercise system via VM VirtualBox. After some tweaking its only somewhat slower than the cloud version on good days, however, the lag is always the same so you know what to expect. No more sudden performance drops, no more frustration.
I found the exercises quiet helpful and actually a vital part of the training. I would not recommend skipping them all together.
Best of luck!

Hello :)
October 2019 here. Just wanted to add that I am also experiencing massive lag in the online exercise system. (Current url: https://paex45-ap.pegacloud.io/prweb)
It's the same in Chrome, Edge, and Opera. For what it's worth, I'm on System Architect Essentials (8.1). Any click within the system (e.g. save, submit, click a drop-down list etc), leads to a 5-10 minute wait while the action resolves.
Cheers!

Hi PEGA Community,
Working on Business Architect Essentials now Feb 23 2020 and experiencing the same slowness having to wait 1-2 min to save a few fields in Designing a Data Model and Configuring a case type exercises.
Does PEGA pay attention to user complains? Is this the right place to file them? I see there is no improvement in 7 months these complains first showed.
Best regards,
Mikhail
