This article explains how to resolve issues with Rapid Development Environment (RDE) creation in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service when the Reference Demos (RDA) add-on is enabled.

Description description

Environment

  • Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (all versions)

Symptoms

Attempts to create a Rapid Development Environment (RDE) fail when the Reference Demos (RDA) add-on is enabled in the program configuration. The RDE provisioning does not complete successfully, and no specific error message is provided.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Remove the RDE from the program.
  2. Attempt to create the RDE again.

The issue is observed only when the Reference Demos (RDA) add-on is enabled.

Cause

The Reference Demos (RDA) add-on can cause conflicts with RDE provisioning. Removing the add-on allows the RDE to be created successfully.

Resolution resolution

Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:

  1. Navigate to the program configuration in the Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service console.
  2. Edit the program settings.
  3. Uncheck or remove the Reference Demos (RDA) add-on from the program.
  4. Save the changes to update the program configuration.
  5. Wait approximately 30 minutes for the program update to complete. During this time, the environment may temporarily display a status such as “Edit Update Failed.” This is expected and should resolve automatically.
  6. Once the program update is complete, attempt to create the RDE again.
  7. Confirm that the RDE is provisioned successfully.
