A report about reachable devices in LMS report tools

Hi all,
is possible to display a report about reachable devices in DCR database? The report about unreachable devices is only in the reports menu in LMS 4.2.4 (Reports > Inventory > Management Status >Unreachable Devices).
I tried to use the report designer, but there is no possibility to create a rule for this report.:-( Similarly I tried to create group devices, but I didn't find some criteria for this type of group. Thanks.
Roman

Hi Roman,
As per my knowledge , there is no such report available in LMS, however I would suggest you to create a POLLER for DEVICE AVAILBLITY to achive your goal.
Go to Monitor > Performance Settings > Setup > Pollers >> click Create Poller.
check the below link for more information:

SAP BI reports on mobile devices

Hi experts
We need have some business intelligence (SAP BI) reports and metrics on our mobile devices (BlackBerry, Iphone, Ipad). For example: The mobile'users should enter a product ID and the report show the metrics relate with it availables in SAP BI.
We have BusinessObject products and we know about BOBJ tools to design our solution to mobile devices.
Can we use BO Mobile and BO Explorer simultaneously to show the reports on Blackberry and Mac Devices?
With BOBJ tools can we do a interactive report (to enter product key) ?
Thanks for your help.
Osmy

Hi Osmy,
With the latest BI4.0, you will be able to use BI Reports on Blackberry (and nokia) devices (this was also available in XI3.x releases) . There is no iphone support yet - which maybe coming shortly in later releases.
As for Explorer, i* apps are already available - but not for blackberry as far as i know
You may already be able to run interactive (prompted) reports on blackberry. Below is a link on design best practices for reports on mobile

Report of encrypted devices

Hi,
we need a reliable report out of ZENworks (or ZENworks Reporting 5) which shows us which devices are encrypted and which are not. I did not find any report which is giving me the data I am looking for and I dont know how to create this report by myself.
We have one "Disk Encryption Policy" which is deployed device-by-device. If I just take a look at the "Policy Status -> Devices Succeeded" it came out that not all of them are really encrypted with PBA as sometimes it can happen that the encryption-progress just dont start correctly.
Does anyone got a report or another idea for this?
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Sebastian

Captivate 5 not Reporting Quiz scores correctly in LMS

Our organization is transitioning to Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. We are using SumTotal as our LMS. I took a CP4 project and converted to CP5, then uploaded it as a test. The results were dismaying.
Captivate 5 Scorm 1.2 apprears to send scores to the LMS instead of scaled scores. For example; If you have 20 questions the scaled score should always be 0 to 100.
In the example I converted from Captivate 4, I have 15 quiz questions. In my first try I scored 60% on the Quiz. Captivate reported to the LMS a percentage complete of 0 and a score of 90%. In my second attempt I scored 80% (which is required for passing from within the Quiz setup) and Captivate reported to the LMS 100% complete and a score of 100%.
I repeat, all worked fine with the same course published as Captivate 4.
I work for a very large multinational company. This is a killer for us if we want to go forward with Captive 5. In fact, I have just spent a lot of money upgrading everyone in my department - money wasted if we can't use the output with our LMS.
Does anyone have any ideas, and is there a way to get to someone at Adobe if this forum is unable to provide answers?
Sorry to sound panicked, but I guess I am.
Frank

Hi all
You're absolutely right. Adobe silence is extremely unsatisfactory and unprofessional. Below are the email correspondences. Does anyone know who are the President or the CEO and the email address? I think it’s about time to find out why from the top man himself.

The configuration is exactly as described in the Adobe help. Both the quiz and Wampserver is on the same machine. The rest is as per stated on the forum thread.
By looking at the results of the Cp5 Quiz Results Analyzer, does it make any sense? The statistics doesn't fit in at all.
Appreciate your interest in this issue. Hope we can work towards resolving this issue.

Help needed with LMS Reporting Settings

I am new to Captivate and am working with 5.5 to create a number of large courses.
The first course, I have split over 5 captivate files as there are a large number of slides in each file. I have reviewed the Help PDF on Learning Management System, but am struggling to find the correct settings in the Reporting Preferences to suit my needs.
Course structure:
File 1     -     less than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 2     -     less than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 3     -     more than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 4     -     more than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 5     -     less than 100 slides, includes question slides as score-reporting objects and other non score-reporting objects (final quiz to be reported and scored in LMS)
I envisaged using Slide Views Only in the first 4 files, and then Quiz Results and Slide Views in the last file.
However, these two choices only seem to allow a maximum of 100 Slides - is this correct?, is there no way around this?
There is another course in our series with much more slides than this first one so having to split into files of 100 could mean
up to 12 captivate files in one course.
I don't know if I now need to re-think the structure of the courses. Maybe I have completely misunderstood the Quiz Reporting
and Reporting Scores.
I need to be able to have the Learner click their way through the course, making it highly-interactive for them but at the same
time not scoring everything they click, until they reach the final assessment which is 10 questions and scored in %.
Another thing, after numerous tests, it seems that if I untick the 'Never Send Resume Data' then the 2nd file does not open. Leaving
it ticked will open the 2nd file - but then the progress is not saved if the Learner exits the course before finishing. Has anyone
experienced this before?
I also would like clarification on the Manifest Settings, the 'Identifier' - should I be giving each file a unique number, or does it not
really matter? When we purchased 5.5, we did not know that we would need the Multi-SCO Packager, so have tried an alternative
called Reload Editor timebeing, which we have been using for our testing with collating the files - has anyone used this before? I have
tried to download the free trial of elearning suite 2.5 but I am having problems getting it done.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

The number 100 shown in Slide View Completion is the % of the total number of slides, not the number of slides from 1-100.
Your strategy of breaking the course up into smaller modules like this is a good one.
But if you have only one of the 5 modules that has scoring, you might be wise to add at least one scored object to each of the other modules (perhaps a button on the first or second slide with a nominal score of 1 point) to give the project at least some kind of a score. I find that in some LMSs if one module in a course is scored, they expect ALL the others to also have a score as well. So providing some surreptitious method of giving the user a guaranteed score keeps everything working on an even keel.
Set Report Status as Pass/Fail and Report to LMS as Percent. These are the settings I find most reliable.
When using multi-SCO SCORM packages created with Captivate, whether or not the second file in the sequence of modules opens automatically is something you are supposed to set up in the LMS, not in Captivate. Look for an option called Auto Continue or similar. This is supposed to mean that when the user finishes playing each module, the next one will open automatically.
There are two Identifiers you need to specify in each module. One is the SCORM course identifier and all modules that belong to the same course should share this same ID. The other is the SCO ID for each module, and these should all be unique.

Need info about RH Server 6 and reports

I'm interisted in RH Server 6 but I'm unable to locate much
practical info about it on the Web site, and a call to sales didn't
help. I need to know what I'm getting us into before I contribute
our $2,000. Can anyone provide this information or point me to its
location on the site:
--I have system requirements from the Adobe site, but what is
the "server" and what does installation and setup entail? About how
how long does it take, or how difficult, to achieve operability?
--According to a piece by John Daigle, the server component
should be installed on a Windows server running IIS 5+. Is IIS a
separate software or standart part of Windows server? If separate,
what preparation should that server have before the installation in
addition to installation of IIS?
--I know nothing about security/firewall protocols. We will
have our own and our customer firewalls to navigate. Are the server
setup instructions adequate for setting all that up? Or are
purchasers expected to have sys admins knowledgeable to set that
up? Is that applied to the RH server or the Windows server? if RH
server, how can I get a copy of instructions for my system people
to review?
--Have users found the RH server/RoboEngine reliable, once
it's operable?
--Is it true that the usage reports aren't customizable? Can
additional usage data be specified in the RH server?
--These report summaries are vague--Areas Requiing Help,
Frequently Viewed Content--stating only that repoorts show the
suchandsuch done "most frequently" or "most often." Does that mean
the top 3, 5, 10 or what? Is there a way to track all of that
activity from most to least?
--The summaries of the reports Unanswered Questions and
Frequently Asked Questions say that terms entered in the Search
field are identified. Questions and terms aren't the same in my
book--am I right that it captures anything entered? Can it do the
same for the Index field?
--I saw no RH server under downloads, or maybe missed it.
Correct in guessing that a demo version is not available?
--Is RH server user doc available on the web site? I found
the Getting Started gude, which isn't much use in evaluating the
product.
I have additional questions, but if you can answer these
questions or direct me to answers some of those may be covered.
Thanks,

Access database.

Hey, Mike!
I found a few things for you. I'm in a hurry, so I'll list
them quickly.
For the Trial, go to the Adobe downloads page
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
Then select RoboHelp Server 6 from the dropdown list. You
will be asked to register (free) if you haven't already. When you
arrive at the download page make sure you note the Trial Serial #
To make it easier for you, its:
1336-1033-2628-5062-0993-4570
You can also find a RoboHelp Server 6 Getting Started Guide
here
http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/downloads/getting_started_rh6_server.pdf
You were asking about IIS. Yes. As Colum says, this comes
with virtually any version of Windows Server (or Windows XP
Professional). However, you must install and configure it. I am not
an IT or web administrator so it took me a while to learn, but
amazingly I got it to work if you're patient and follow the steps.
(I'm speaking of both IIS and Robohelp Server) Clearly IIS
configuration is not a trivial thing and it is assumed that an
author would have help and cooperation from the IT or Web Admin
folks.
As for customizing reports. At present, the existing reports
are the only ones offered. Since these reports are generated from a
database (Access, SQL Server or Oracle) I would think (haven't done
it myself) that someone familiar with database adminstration could
open the DB (after a backup that is) and be more creative with
generating customized reports.
You are right that the "Question" does in fact mean any
search term or phrase that an end user puts in the search field.
This is the string that is stored and reported as a question. In
discussing this with the Adobe team at STC last month, they agreed
that this was definitely a holdover from the legacy software and is
due for a change sometime in the future.
To answer your other question, text entered in the Index
field is not stored in the database, only the search term field.
Since taking on the old legacy product from eHelp and
Macromedia, Adobe is focusing most of its attention on beefing up
the client authoring app for the next version (Adobe RoboHelp 7).
My assumption is that they are keen on improving the RoboHelp
Server as well. I have passed along many feature requests along the
lines you seem to suggest and hopefully the server will evolve
along with the client app.
Even with its limitations, my clients tell me RoboHelp Server
provides very useful feedback to help them improve their knowledge
base content to make it more helpful and responsive to users needs.
They also like the searchability of PDF, Word, PPT and Excel as
well...something which plain WebHelp without the RoboHelp Server
does not do.
I probably didn't get to everything, but hope this helps.

I need report about office 2010 licensed or not

hi,
I need to make report about microsoft office 2010 licensed, activated or not on all pc's, how can i generate it or make my custom collection and query ?
any help !!
Ahmed Sherif

One of doing this would be to use Compliance Settings.
With the information found here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2010/08/11/how-to-check-the-activation-type-and-status-of-office-2010-installations.aspx
You could create a script that you combine with Compliance Settings and use the information returned by Compliance Settings (Compliant or Non-compliant) to create a Query or a report.
You might have a look at Asset Intelligence classes i.e SoftwareLicensing,
or a third option could be to see whether the information exits in WMI (I have never looked for it myself)

Can any one explain me about Field symbols in Genral Reports?

Can any one explain me about Field symbols in Genral Reports?
If possible, plz explain me with the code to explain me about the field symbols.
Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya

Syntax
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> { typing | STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj }.
Extras:
1. ... typing
2. ... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
Effect
The FIELD-SYMBOLS statement declares a field symbol <fs>. The naming conventions apply to the name fs. The angle brackets of the field symbols indicate the difference to data objects and are obligatory. You can declare field symbols in any procedure and in the global declaration section of an ABAP program, but not in the declaration section of a class or an interface. You can use a field symbol in any operand position in which it is visible and which match the typing defined using typing.
After its declaration, a field symbol is initial - that is, it does not reference a memory area. You have to assign a memory area to it (normally using the ASSIGN statement) before you can use it as an operand. Otherwise an exception will be triggered.
Addition 1
... typing
Effect
You can use the addition typing to type the field symbol. The syntax of typing is described under Syntax of Typing. The typing specifies which memory areas can be assigned to the field symbol (see Checking the Typing) and in which operand positions it can be used.
Note
You can omit the addition typing outside of methods. In this case, the field symbol has the complete generic type any and is implicitly assigned the predefined constant space during the declaration.
Addition 2
... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
Effect
If you specify the addition STRUCTURE instead of typing for a field symbol, and struc is a local program structure (a data object, not a data type) or a flat structure from the ABAP Dictionary, this structure is cast for the field symbol <fs>. You have to specify a data object dobj that is initially assigned to the field symbol.
The field symbol copies the technical attributes of structure struc as if it were completely typed. When you assign a data object using the addition DEFAULT, or later using ASSIGN, its complete data type is not checked in non- Unicode programs. Instead, the system merely checks whether it has at least the length of the structure and its alignment.
In Unicode programs, we differentiate between structured and elementary data objects. For a structured data object dobj, its Unicode fragment view has to match the one of struc. In the case of an elementary data object, the object must be character-type and flat, and struc must be purely character-type. The same applies to assignments of data objects to field symbols typed using STRUCTURE when using the ASSIGN statement.
Note
Field symbols declared using the addition STRUCTURE are a mixture of typed field symbols and a utility for casting structured data types. You should use the additions TYPE or LIKE for the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement to type field symbols, while the addition CASTING of the ASSIGN statement is used for casting.
Example
The first example shows the obsolete usage of the addition STRUCTURE.
DATA wa1 TYPE c LENGTH 512.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <scarr1> STRUCTURE scarr DEFAULT wa1.
<scarr1>-carrid = '...'.
The second example shows the replacement of STRUCTURE with the additions TYPE and CASTING.
DATA wa2 TYPE c LENGTH 512.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <scarr2> TYPE scarr.
ASSIGN wa2 TO <scarr2> CASTING.
<scarr2>-carrid = '...'.

Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

The latest version of iOS (7.0.6) fixes the problem. Update your phone if you're not already running 7.0.6.

No. That has nothing to do with it. That's called "spam".
