Captivate files overwriting previous files in LMS

I have a professor that has created quizzes in Captivate and saved them as SCORM and uploaded into D2L.
Each quiz is a separate SCORM package that he uploads individually. Unfortunately, every time he uploads a new one, it overwrites the previous one. No matter if we tell D2L to overwrite the previous file or not, the new file overwrites the previous one.
The quizzes come in to D2L always with the Module Title of “Captivate E-Learning Course” and the quiz title of “Course Object title”, even though the file names are different.
I believe it’s due to the imsmanifest file referencing a generic title “Captivate E-Learning Course” and in another instance “Course Object title”.
How can I change this info without going into the SCORM files and manually changing them each time? Thanks.

You are correct that this information originates inside the SCORM settings within Captivate. There's a button in the Quiz Settings dialog to open another smaller dialog where you configure the Course ID and individual SCO IDs plus other details that will be written to the imsmanifest.xml file that is output with the SCO.
You need to set this up in Captivate in the CPTX project file each time you create a new SCO.
Since you're working with a professor, I would assume he or she is intelligent enough to do this for you...once you point it out to them.

Action keeps overwriting previous file in auto batch run

Hi..I have been experiencing a frustrating problem. When running an automated batch action which ends with a 'save as' command to a 'action completed' folder, the files keeps overwriting the previous files in the batch and retains name of the first file processed by the action.
Other actions I have created never had this problem, but all of a sudden it simply refuses to save the individual files without overwriting the previous one.
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. I have tried deleting the preferencs and .plist files. I am running CS3 on a MacPro with OS X 10.5.4
Cheers,
David

PDFs and EPS files that need to be rasterized have this problem, IIRC. But JPG files should be fine. I would try image processor, and make sure to strip out any save commands in your action, instead using the image processor script to save the images. If the files are overwriting with that setup, you have real problems!

File Overwriting in File Receiver Communication Channel

Hi,
I have an IDoc to File scenario.
My file receiver communication channel has the following parameters :
- File name scheme = %timestamp%_AOBSD4RL.MES
(I'm using variable substition and the variable "timestamp" is initialized at mapping time with the current time in format yyyyMMddHHmmss).
- File Construction Mode = Create
- Option "Overwrite Existing File" not activated
When two inbound messages result in the same target file name, the second one overwrites the first one although the "Overwirte Existing File" setting is not active in the receiver channel. Is this a bug in XI ? (I'm on 7.00 SP11)
And is it possible to say to the receiver channel to process only 1 message per second so there will no more target file with same name ?
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Hi Laurence,
There is no such facility with Receiver File Adapter to process single message in one step.
I want to suggest you a may possible way to overcome( it's just an idea), though I never worked with them I think it will work.
As you the file name is assigned to message with timestamp at receiver communication channel step you can schedule the outbound queue in such a way that it will transfer the message in delay.
Try to investigate further more, But i m not sure that Queue Scheduling is supported by SP11 or not.

Saving file overwrites another file

When i try to save a pdf file by clicking on "file, save as" (Using Pro 9, Windows 7) and attempt to put it in a folder, the cursor jumps to a file already in the folder and substitutes its name in the "save" dialogue box, the result being that it overwrites the file that is alreay there unless i rewrite the file name. No one in Mircorsoft seems to know what this is about. maybe you do? It only happens with Adobe, not with WORD, Below are the four steps in saving the file, and the last step is where it changes the file name from "40 Leading others....." to the name of a file already saved in the folder" EH Vaad...w

Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

Hi XI Folks,
I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.
It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.
Receiver communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : FTP
File construction mode: Create
Put File: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.
Receiver Communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : NFS
File construction mode: Create
Write mode: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.
Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.
eagerly expecting relevant response,
Kiruthika S

Sasi,
If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.

Reupload file/change uploaded file

Hi Friends,
I need requirement like to reupload/change the already uploaded file in BSP Application.
A Brief Note:
I got an ITAB(STD),on which through Iterator , I am uploading the file in The application server(The actual path will be stored in one of the database table field(STUD). Presently I uploaded one file for each row of Itab,and made it as display_url, to display the file.It is working fine. But when I want to change the already uploaded file/overwrite the file path & upload again through change file button, it is not working at all.
The code I used as follows:
For file Reupload:
DATA: fileUpload TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD.
fileUpload ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA(
 request = request
 id = 'STUD'
 name = 'fileUpload' ).
if fileUpload->file_name is not initial.
file_name = fileUpload->file_name.
file_mime_type = fileUpload->file_content_type.
file_length = fileUpload->file_length.
file_content = fileUpload->file_content.
DATA: fname type string.
Enter the path to be stored in the server here....
Data : filepath type string,
 t1 type string.
filepath = file_name .
while filepath CA '\'.
split filepath at '\' into t1 filepath.
endwhile.
Enter the path to be stored in the server here....
*This location is not shared,
fname = '\default_host\sap\bc\bsp\sap\tmp\' .
concatenate fname filepath into fname.
close dataset path.
OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
TRANSFER file_content TO FNAME.
CLOSE DATASET FNAME.
You can generate the URL..display_url shows you URL
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '/' IN fname WITH '\'.
concatenate '
by-sap-Bass.com' fname into display_url.
IF <row1> IS ASSIGNED.
<row1>-STUD = fname.
MODIFY STD from <row1>.
endif.
endif.
The Iterator code:
when 'tv1'.
DATA: tv TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_tableview.
tv ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data(
 request = runtime->server->request
 name = 'tableView'
 id = 'tv1' ).
IF tv IS NOT INITIAL.
DATA: tv_data TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_event_tableview.
tv_data = tv->data.
IF tv_data->prevselectedrowindex IS NOT INITIAL.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <row1> type LINE OF ITABTYPE .
 READ TABLE ITAB INDEX tv_data->prevselectedrowindex
 ASSIGNING <row1>.
 DATA value TYPE string.
if <row1> is assigned.
value = tv_data->get_cell_id( row_index =
 tv_data->prevselectedrowindex
 column_index = '8' ).
 inputfield ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data(
 request = request
 name = 'inputfield'
 id = value ).
 <row1>-STUD = inputfield->value.
method
IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START .
WHEN 'STUD'.
IF p_edit_mode IS INITIAL.
 DATA: STUD TYPE STRING.
 STUD = m_row_ref->STUD.
 p_replacement_bee = CL_HTMLB_IMAGE=>FACTORY(
 id = p_cell_id
 src = '@IT@'
 tooltip = 'Please Press this Link for Detail Description'
 onClick ='Event1' ).
ELSE.
 p_replacement_bee = CL_HTMLB_BUTTON=>FACTORY(
 id = p_cell_id
 text = 'Click to change File'
 tooltip = 'Press this to change the linked file'
 onClick = 'Event1' ).
ENDIF.
why this is not working for me?.I look foward your suggestions in this regard.

Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files

Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files
As many of you will know, within Mac OSX it is possible to "print" any document off as a PDF. You simply prepare your document then invoke the "Print" command and in the resulting print dialog box, click the "PDF" button in the bottom left corner which spills out a menu with various options including "Save as PDF..." as shown in the image below:
Selecting the last option "Edit Menu" permits users to add specific folders to which a PDF of the document will be saved. As you will note from the image above, I have created a number of destinations such as "Bank Transfers" (for anything on screen in Safari I wish to preserve when using my on-line banking facility); "Bind" (which I use with an Automator workflow to consolidate many PDFs into one long document); "Officeworks" (for stuff I need to copy to a USB stick and have printed on on large plotters); "iPad" (for anything I need to put on my iPad through "iAnnotate" or "Documents") etc
The problem I have discovered is that with the introduction of Mountain Lion, PDFs that get saved directly to a destination folder get overwritten by later versions of PDFs that are produced from the same document. This is fine when working on a single document that you may want to have the latest print of a document but not so when you produce many different PDFs from the same browser window in Safari as you surf through a number of websites etc.
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious versions were never over-written but rather preserved them with new versions having version number suffixes added e.g., untitled.pdf, followed by untitled1.pdf, untitled2.pdf, untitled3.pdf etc.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (other than a workaround like switching to Finder to rename or move files around)

The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007. Here's another reference to it in 2009. Your contention that:
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
is, I'm afraid, wrong.
Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated. As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ). But it's the answer to your problems.
You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot. You may have more success than I did.
Good luck

Overwrite previous existing file when saving...

I'm running Snow Leopard. I can't for the life of me find a way to "overwrite" an existing file - either when I drag the updated file into the Finder window, OR when I save to a particular folder. I am used to Windows, where you get a prompt saying "a file by this name already exists, do you want to replace the file or rename?"....or some such thing. How do I do this in OSX - I'm sick of files just automatically saving with a new extenmsion in the name, like: "file#1.pdf" or some such thing.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

What you want is what should be happening. The options are these:
1. Open a file; modify it and hit command-s or choose 'Save' from the File menu: the amended file overwrites the original.
2. Open a file; modify it and hit 'Save as' - leave the filename unchanged: you will get this warning:
3. Open a file, modify it and hit 'Save as' - leave the filename unchanged but save it somewhere else. Then drag it to the original location and you will get this warning:
If this is not what is happening then you have a fault condition. It may be that the file's permissions have been incorrectly set. Select the file, hit command-i and scroll down to 'Sharing and permissions' and check that you have been set to read and write. You could also boot from your install disk - don't start an install, but choose 'Disk Utility' from the 'Utilities' menu and run a Disk Repair.

How can I overwrite a file with the same name in Content DB?

Hi All,
In Content DB if I upload a file with the same name as a previous one, the application shows the warning message:
" ...You cannot upload "XXXXXX.doc" to "Test 1" because an item with the same name already exists ..."
And the alternatives are "Create Version" or "Cancel" the operation. Is there any way to overwrite a previous file as we can do it in Oracle Files ?
Regards
Harvey

Hi All,
Can anybody from the Content DB product development answer this question?

Overwrite Exisiting Files - error

I see this questions has come up a few times, but having read the answers it seems i still have a problem. can someone clarify if i am making an error my workflow please?
Take images in Folder XXX and develop them
Export these images to a new folder YYY. add to catalogue not ticked
Syncronise YYY and bring in new images. Apply a develop preset to these images on import
Export the images in YYY with preset applied as jpegs to YYY for external use. Select "Overwrite without Warning"
Error comes up saying this cannot be performed as woudl replace exisitng photo
My understanding from other threads is this eror should only happen if you try to replace an original, but was designed for exactly my purpose when you are operation on copies. I am just owndering how LR is meant to know that the imported copy is a copy not an original. What attribute would tell in that as importing through syncronisation is the same process. If I used the "add to catalogie" in stage 2. does this let LR know it'sa copy? If so I could add my preset manually?
i am using LR 2.5 on Vista 32 bit
Thanks for any advice.
Mike

The bug that allowed overwriting of files present in the catalog was resolved some time ago. LR has no idea what "originals" are, it just won't let you over write files present in its catalog and a good thing to! The over write function is to over write exported images, I use it all the time and it works fine. So if I want a set of images for one purpose I export them to a folder, if I then need them in a different size or whatever I just use the same folder and over write the previously exported files. No need to import these files into LR as I have the "originals" and can always make virtual copies if I need different versions in LR

How to publish swf file as streaming html on LMS?

Hi Folks
When i try to publish a swf file it creates a html file and
works fine. but when its created in the folder. It creates a skin
file, 2 html files and standard file. When i publish it on LMS to
create a streaming flash file nothing is seen. Is there any other
way to publish. It is not a scrom compliant LMS. If that helps.
Appreciate all the replies
Thanks!

Hi again
I think you are probably still seeing the _skin.swf file
because I don't believe that Captivate deletes the files prior to
creating the new ones. So you should probably clear the folder
before publishing again. Once you do that, you should see only
three files.
Cheers... Rick

Avoid overwriting text file.

i'm using a rather simple code to write stuff stored in an array to a text file. the only problem is every time i write new stuff to the text file it overwrites the previous file i had how do i stop this from happening.
heres the code:-
public void WriteToFile(){
 // Stream to write file
 FileOutputStream fout1,fout2,fout3,fout4,fout5;
 try
 fout1 = new FileOutputStream ("ItemName.txt");
 for(int f = 0; f<ItemNo;f++){
 new PrintStream(fout1).println (Item[f]);
 fout1.close();
 fout2 = new FileOutputStream ("ItemQuantity.txt");
 for(int z = 0; z<ItemNo;z++){
 new PrintStream(fout2).println (Quantity[z]);
 fout2.close();
 fout3 = new FileOutputStream ("MaxQuantity.txt");
 for(int w = 0; w<ItemNo;w++){
 new PrintStream(fout3).println (max[w]);
 fout3.close();
 fout4 = new FileOutputStream ("MinQuantity.txt");
 for(int q = 0; q<ItemNo;q++){
 new PrintStream(fout4).println (min[q]);
 fout4.close();
 fout5 = new FileOutputStream ("Charges.txt");
 for(int q = 0; q<ItemNo;q++){
 new PrintStream(fout5).println (charges[q]);
 fout5.close();
 // Close our output stream
 // Catches any error conditions
 catch (IOException e)
 System.err.println ("Unable to write to file");
 System.exit(-1);
 }

Your code can be compressed ...
public void WriteToFile(){
// Stream to write file
final String[] NAMES = {
"ItemName.txt",
"ItemQuantitiy.txt",
"MaxQuantity.txt",
"MinQuantity.txt",
"Charges.txt"
PrintStream[] outs = new PrintStream[5];
try
for (int i = 0;i < outs.length;i++) {
 outs[i] = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(NAMES, true)); // true is for "append" instead of "overwrite"
for (int i = 0;i < itemNo;i++) {
outs[0].println(Item[i]);
outs[1].println(Quantity[i]);
outs[2].println(max[i]);
outs[3].println(min[i]);
outs[4].println(charges[i]);
catch (IOException ex) {
// Error handling here
finally {
// Close all streams here

Save Captivate 5.5 (.cptx) files in Captivate 7 (.cptx) with huge file size results.

I have been opening and saving Captivate 5.5 (.cptx) files in Captivate 7 (.cptx). The problem is that after saving a file in Captivate 7, the file size increases substantially from the original Captivate 5.5 file size. Can this be avoided or corrected? Thanks!

You're a star. I'd already done the switching off the page thumbnails and reducing page performance. I hadn't thought about cross-references! That's certainly a possibility.
I've just done the "Save As" twice - and that first file is down to 1,100 KB - which is a huge reduction from it's previous size! It's still growing already though - just updating the numbers in the book has taken it from 800 KB up to the new 1,100 without me doing anything else (not even opening it myself). Track Changes is (I believe) switched off ... in Edit > Preferences, unless there's somewhere else...
Shoudl have thought of the Save As as well - used to have to do that with Word docs a few versions ago (not so much now).
Thanks again.

Contribute CS4 is overwriting my files with a blank page

Hello,
I'm hoping that someone can help resolve this issue we're having with Contribute CS4. My client has successfully used the software for several months and recently the issue started.
Now, when he tries to publish a page that he has made edits to, Contribute overwrites the previous file (HTML file) and puts a completely blank HTML page in it's place. He's using a Windows XP PC and the hosting (Network Solutions) is fine. I can connect using my FTP client and am able to make edits using Dreamweaver CS4.
He gets an error message that says:
“Contribute encountered a network or file system error. Please try the operation again, and contact the administrator if the problem continues to occur.”
Thanks for any help in advance!
