Captivate is not recording tooltips in a web application

Hi,
I am using adobe captivate 3 to record a web based
application i.e. SAP BusinessObjects BI Dasboard using IE 6.0, I
have exhausted all options of converting tooltips into rollover and
using full motion recording option, in either case for some reason
AC3 is not capturing tool tips.
Any suggestion would be very helpful, i am running out of
time and have a deadline to catch.
Thanks!
:S

Anything that Captivate does not capture automatically you
can 'force'
to be captured by pressing the PrintScreen key on your
keyboard. So,
rollover the item so the tooltip shows and when it appears,
press
PrintScreen. This has worked for me before, but with CP 2 I
think it was.
Now, what you mean by 'converting tooltips to rollover' and
'using full
motion recording', I'm not sure. I'd avoid full motion
recording unless
you need to show an animation of something - it just makes
your file all
the more bigger.
If you want to setup CP so the user rolls-over an item and a
tooltip
appears, then it would seem you do NOT want to capture the
application's
tooltips but recreate them in CP itself, no?

Captivate will not record ALL screen movements

I have been using Camtashia and recently move to another
company where they want to start using Captivate. I just bought
Captiveate and I am getting very aggrevated! Captivate will not
record all my movements with the mouse or when a screen changes. It
appears that everything is driven by an actual mouse click. Only
when I move my mouse around and then click will it actuall record
the "action".
Please tell me there is a way for Captivate to record all
mouse movements, keystrokes, changes in applications just as I see
it when I am actually doing the recording.
I dont need all this fancy highlighting and project wizards,
I just simply want Captivate to record EXACTLY what I do and see
while I am recording.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Tmy8ster and welcome to our community
No doubt you are frustrated if you are expecting Captivate to
behave like Camtasia. Yes, both create similar output, but both
accomplish it in entirely different ways.
Perhaps the following link to a thread where I attempted to
explain it will help:

Could not start the hyperion workspace-web application Error 1067

Hi,
I have installed hyperion from scratch in a distributed environment...everything was working fine.......i.e. shared services, workspace, essbase, sql server, and hfm. I was able to logon and navigate different options in the hyperion products...but essbase stopped working when I re-started all four servers ....?
(1) When I restarted all four servers and stopped and restarted all hyperion services as per giving sequence then everything works fine but essbase EAS console and workspace web console...i was getting error message " could not connect to administration server" whenever i try to connect EAS console to essbase then I went to services there I saw workspace agent and workspace web application service is down.
(2) as soon as I started those both services then my shared services automatically stopped but I was able to logon in Essbase console and workspace console but my shared services are down...
(3) as soon as I start shared service they started but my workspace agent and workspace web application automatically stopped...and when I try to start again workspace web application then I get this error "[ Could not start the hyperion workspace-web application services on local computer. Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly]"
I have been searching online and googling but have a hard luck to get some best solution for this...can some one help me or guide me to walk through with this issue...
Thank you very much in advance ...
Regards,
Safi

I solved this issue...It was with Hyperion Services those were stop responding some how.....but I stopped each service and restarted then those started working again...

Captivate 7 not recording clicks suddenly

I have been using Captivate for about 2.5 years now and have never experienced this problem. Two days ago, I didn't have an issue, but today it will not record my "clicks" when attempting to record a software simulation. However, it will record any keyboard actions. I've checked settings and it is set to automatically record, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

Create another document and try again.

Captivate 5 Not recording actions in Automatic mode but records in FMR

Hi, I am trying to create a software simulation of SharePoint. The users need to be shown how to edit pages, profiles, etc. I am running Captivate 5 as administrator. The operating system is Windows 7. The problem is when I record the actions in Automatic mode, some of the actions are not captured; for example when chosing a profile picture from an explorer window, clicking Save and Close button on the edit profile page. However, when I record these same actions in FMR, everything is captured. Now that it adds extra work for me to insert captions in the FMR, wanted to check why Captivate is not capturing all the actions in Automatic Demo mode. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Hareesh

In order for Captivate to perform an automatic capture it has to 'hear' the screen event, e.g. a button click, load of a dialog box, drop-down menu etc. Some software advertises these events well, others don't. In almost all software you'll typically need to do SOME manual captures, and for some software you'll need to do lots. Sounds like SharePoint might fall into the latter category.

Can not restart Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application after stopping

All, thanks for any help.
I have a SP2010 instance running and am in the process of adding custom web parts, activities, and timer jobs. As part of troubleshooting an odd problem where my code did not seem to be getting updated on deployments, I decided to try restarting the
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in Central Administration/Services on Server. It stopped well enough, but on restart it now fails with the error "Expression must evaluate to a node-set.
". I thought it might have something to do with the updated web.config, so I took it back to the original one, but the problem still persists. I have tried multiple PC restarts and iisresets, along with trying to start the service via the use of
stsadm. My SP2010 instance is deployed on a Windows Vista box for testing. I have successfully deployed this very same custom timer job to that very box in the past; it just won't deploy now and the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
constantly shows "error starting" on the Services on Server page.
As a result I can no longer deploy timer jobs - they deploy but never show up Central Administration after deployment, and never execute. Can anyone tell me how to get Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to restart?
~Thanks!
Mitch

Old post, but in case others come across this. From:
http://sharepointumar.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/restart-microsoft-sharepoint-foundation-web-application-service-stuck-at-stopping/comment-page-1/#comment-146
Stop it by running:
$svc = Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -like "*Foundation Web*"}
$svc.Status = "Offline"
$svc.Update()
And then start:
$svc = Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -like "*Foundation Web*"}
$svc.Status = "Online"
$svc.Update()
Optionally, you may need to run (I didn't):
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://webAppUrl
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()

one change which i have observed in this trace is .. this trace is showing trace agent as SAP Web application server ... ideally it should show user agent :SAP HTTP
Please suggest me some solution.
Thanks
sandeep

Dear all,
my issue is resolved.I solved my issue myself
solution: SAP sends HTTP request in the form of URL like
http://serverip:port/GET /Default.aspx?serverInfo&pVersion=0045&contRep=FD HTTP/1.0
Now your response should contain string contRep="FD"
dont forget double quotes on repository name coz SAP program matches string with double quotes. if you will return value like this contRep=FD
this will through error.
Thanks

Hello,
What do you want to do exactly?
You speak about SAP Netweaver Studio? I suppose you mean Netweaver Developer Studio?
Do you want to install a complete SAP System on your windows XP?? or only the Java part?

Rolemenu not found in BEx BI Web Application Designer - Urgent

Hi,
I am unable to find the Rolemenu in BI Web application designer which was there in BW 3.5.
Kindly let me know where can i find this in BI.

Hi Arvind,
In BW 7.0 Role Menu Web item will be replaced by the role-based display of BI content in SAP NetWeaver Portal. In addition to the pure Web-based display of BI content in roles, additional functions result from this, especially in regard to display and editing of any content in one environment.

Captivate 5 not recording on macbook

Hello,
I am trying to record on a slide in captivate 5. After confirming all settings, nothing happens when I click on the record button . This only applies to when I'm trying to record a video. Recording audio is perfectly fine. Could this be a hardware or software issue? Thanks!
I have a macbook pro 2010.

Hi jethromax22,
The Settings on this window look fine. This would not help resolve the issue.
Could you please send us a screen shot of the main recording window? i.e
Also,
On clicking the Record button in the above dialog, do you see a message box for counting down "3,2,1.. Press Cmd-Enter to End Recording"?
Thanks,

Captivate 5 Not Recording Completion in LMS

Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix? Learners have 3 attempts to complete the module. Attempts are recorded but not completion.

I am experiencing similar but inconsistent issues with Captivate content in SumTotal LMS (SCORM 1.2) -- athough I have used other e-learning authoring software, I am admittedly new Captivate user so assume that I am just unclear on exact settings to use when publishing for and/or uploading to LMS. But I still can't figure out where/how to report simple completion of course (no real testing/scoring) to LMS, and can't seem to find any other documentation or discussions around these LMS publish settings, so any input/advice would those experienced would be much appreciated. Thanks, JC

Captivate 4 not recording mainframe emulator demo

I had used previous versions of Captivate to record simulations of our proprietary mainframe system. Since upgrading to 4 a couple years back, I am no longer able to get Captivate to recognize the keystrokes or the screen changes. It captures the first screenshot only and then nothing. Could there be an option/property I have set wrong?
Thank You

Hi there
Is this really the same question you asked a year ago?
Click here to view that thread
And if it is the same issue, is it one you never resolved or is it one you resolved for a while and it has since returned?
Sometimes the answer is simple. Perhaps you turned off Automatic recording and have shifted into Manual mode.
Cheers... Rick

CS6 Captivate Quiz not recording Quiz to SuccessFactor Plateau LMS

I've created a simple quiz in CS6 Captivate and it works on scorm.com. Why does this simple quiz not work on Plateau? Which is identified as a LMS supported in Adobe's Authoring tools.

Can you add some more inforamtion around your project.
Share us the Screen shot of Quiz Preferences-- Reporting Menu.
Was the project checked in the same way on both LMS?
The LMS Team sould have adetailed log to decipher what could be causing the problem.

Captivate 7 - Not recording drop down menus

Hi - Last week I was able to record the movement of drop down menus and now it's skipping the movement. During play back nothing is showing as happening. My settings are Automatic / Demo / Automatic Panning. Thanks!

Hi
Have you modified AdobeCaptivate.ini?
I have added a HTML5 demo (published from CP7) which shows two runs of visiting drop down menus here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1796574/demo1.zip
In the first run, the entire navigation across all of the drop down menus got recorded.
In the second run, however, only the end points of the navigation got recorded.
This is to show that Captivate uses a set of heuristics to decide when to retain and when to throw away the in-between slides. A simple rule of thumb is, if the mouse landing click has a "good correlation" with the intermediate slides w.r.t x,y coordinates and the amount of screen changes that happened during the mouse navigations in-between, then the entire navigation is retained in the recording.
Cheers
Siva

Captivate 6 not recording screen correctly

Hi, I recently had Captivate 6 installed as part of the Adobe e-Learning Suite on my work PC, which is running Windows 7. Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with recording - I set it up to capture this area:
...but instead, what it captures is this:
It looks as if the recording area has shifted 10cm to the left. I tried lowering my screen resolution (currently 1680x1050) but it didn't seem to make any difference. Has anyone encountered this problem and is there any solution?
Fiona

UPDATE: I installed the latest version of Java on my PC and now it's working!
