Has anyone notice the typo's in the new 7 fundamentals book?

This is keeping people from moving forward when doing the scenarios from the manual. Starting in module 8.
_wcookie is missing. And so is the " " around ProductID.

Hello, which course are you taking? We are not seeing this issue with the Fundamentals Pt1 eLearning course (the course that uses the _wcookie sourcetype). Please contact us at elearn@splunk.com so that we can help troubleshoot.

So I am taking the User (Fundamentals 1) and doing the scenario's on page 103. This is on my local machine and is for testing purposes. Without the _wcookie in the sourcetype I was getting no results. After adding it I was able to finish pg.105. On the following when indexing security. I got no results. I had to use index=main. Also in the the dedup. This is the only thing that would work; index=main sourcetype="vendor_sales/vendor_sales" vendorid=*. But could not get table to work.
I am beginning to think I am missing something somewhere? Should I be using the cloud for the Fundamentals 1& 2? I want to pass mu User certification .

It sounds like you are doing the scenarios from the course materials slides on the lab server. The material slides are for demonstration purposes only and do not match all data provided for labs. Please use the lab module documents when working with the lab server(s).

Lab Modules work fine. Its when I am doing scenarios in the main PDf with my name on it. I guess that is better suited for a real environment with indexers.
