Captive issues with LMS

I am having the following two issues:
I have created a course that consists of six lessons. I have
placed the course on our LMS. Whenever I leave the course before
completing - and from wherever I leave it - when I return it takes
me to Question 3 of the Lesson 1 assessment every time.
Also, when I do finish the last assessment, the LMS is not
getting the "Completion" status from the content. The LMS still
shows me as "in-progress". And the LMS is only registering a total
of 45 points even though I have answered every question correctly.
I'm not sure why this is happening, because the total points in the
course based on advanced interaction is 100 points. Please help!
Out of ideas. Thanks!

How did you 'create a course consisting of 6 lessons'?
You can't merge multiple, separate CP projects into one SCO.
If that's essentially what you've done, then tracking is
likely getting
all thrown-off because each SCO is attempting to track itself
by its own
ID, which the LMS is likely not expecting.
(i.e. when one CP lesson sends back 'user left at p4', the
LMS sends
back 'p4' when the lesson is relaunched, but how does the
lesson know
which Captivate's p4 should be resumed?)
So a bit more detail on how you structured this may help.
Ideally, just
create one SCO (content package, etc) per CP lesson and use
the LMS menu
to navigate between them.
Helps?

LMS 3.2 : issue with custom portal : high CPU

Hi,
Customer has a big issue with LMS.
When he connects to the standard portal, it works fine.
pdshow seems ok.
But when he wants to work with custom portal (portal.jpg), it makes a long time to display information and when he wants select something it hangs.
CPU is very high. He must stoped/restart LMS to have a normal CPU.
I asked him to :
- restart LMS, he made at 14h30
- CPU was ok and he worked with standard portal withou problems but when he tried to put debug for portal CPU increase at 15h30:
Common Services -> server -> Admin -> CS Log Configurations: debug on CiscoWorks Portal, CiscoWorks portlets and CS Home
Process which takes a lot of CPU is tomcat, you will find pdshow.txt, stdout.log and stderr.log.
He tries to go to the custom portal but it hangs, you will find logs from debug : CSHomePage.log and CSPortal.log
he sent me AAD.log because there was " high severity alert".
Many thanks for your help,
Elisabeth

The most obvious problem is that DfmBroker is down. Check to make sure tcp/9002 is not in user, then try a server reboot. See if the AAD problems go away (and perhaps the CPU problem will as well). If not, post the NMSROOT/objects/local/logs/broker.log.

LMS 4.2.3 - C6500 VSS - Issue with inline card on secondary chassis

Hello,
We are currently setting up a fresh new LMS 4.2.3 server to administrate a 90 LAN-device-perimiter. Installation is OK (on a Windows Server), devices are up, monitored and their configurations archived.
The core switches are Catalyst 6506 VSS (s2t54-IPSERVICESK9-M - 15.1(1)SY) including 2 inlines cards :
- WS-C6505E-SUP2T
- WS-X6824-SFP-2T
There is an issue with line card WS-X6824-SFP-2T recognition on secondary chassis only. We updated the last software packages for LMS (via Admin > Software Center > Device Update) and situation improved but still, it is not behaving as excepted.
Impact : Topology, Ciscoview and Device Center for C6506-VSS do not show the card and links on the WS-X6824-SFP-2T of secondary chassis.
Do you have this issue as well ? Any direction or help ?
I am afraid of a potential bug...
Rgds,
Yoann

When you were placing the internal test calls, where was your phone located? The RTP streams are usually only set up between the two endpoints (assuming no transcoder or MTP is used).
Have you have already checked calls between IP phones at your central site (where Unity is located) and IP Phones at site A? Are these working fine? If not, then it's likely you do have a QoS issue over the WAN to Site A.
Have you confirmed whether or not calls from the PSTN gateway at site A experience any voice QoS issues when transferred to an IP Phone at the central site?
Is the same codec is being used for the MGCP gateway as for IP Phones at that site (check the Region settings for the Device Pool it's in)?
If these things have all been checked, then you may want to consider collecting a simultaneous sniffer trace from each end of a single call, and comparing what's seen at the two endpoints.
Kind regards,
Craig

Captivate 7 - Bookmarking issues with Cornerstone LMS on IPAD

Hello,
I am looking for some assistance with Captivate 7 (currently using version 7.0.0.118) with the Cornerstone LMS and bookmarking when using an IPAD. We have no issues with content launching, bookmarking, and sending completions on Windows based opeating systems, but on IPAD's, with the latest version of the IPAD OS and Safari, we have no issues with launching the content and it will send back a completion, but the content will not bookmark.
Cornerstone is stating that the Safari browser on the iPad is not properly implementing the onbeforeunload trigger, which is primarily used in courses to force a save of the course data. This event is not triggered within the iPad version of Safari, preventing courses from saving themselves when the course is closed. We currently have our customers closing the web browser in order to exit the course on the IPAD. We are not experiencing this issue with the HTML5 courses that were exported with Captivate 6.
Thank you,
Karl

Clare,
If you want a continuous movie (since it is simply a demo) you can use the HD Video Demo. But editing and synchronizing will be much more a pain.
Captivate's power is just in the creation of those static slides, but I would never record narration at the same time. I create the VO after having created the simulation, that is much easier just because the slides are static. I have been choosing Captivate just for that reason, but of course it is up to you. Want to have just demo: use HD Video Demo or choose Camtasia. But you'll never have the interactivity power that has Captivate. For trainees and students, interactive simulations are much more engaging, but that is your choice. And even a 200 slides movie has only 6000 frames, and will have a much smaller filesize than a video that explains the same.

Issues with Captivate 3 and LMS enrollments to transcript completion

We have issues with courses developed with Captivate 3, that sometimes do not work properly in the LMS. Some users when they have completed the captivate training, their completion is not moved from in progress/enrollments to completed. Others have no issues. What is causing this? Scorm, Flash, Java?? Any assistance is really appreciated!

In one client where we had a similar issue, I placed an SWF animation on the final slide that ran for the duration of the slide.
The animation looked like a progress bar sending information with text that said it was updating their score and to wait for the window to close:
People would see the animation and then (believe it or not) do as it suggested and wait for the animation to finish, which allowed the Captivate module to close naturally, and stopped our reported issues with the LMS not picking up their score.
Sometimes a simple dummy fix is all you need.

Issues with using relative links in Captivate 8

Is anyone else having issues with using relative links in Captivate 8? These links all used to work in the previous version of Captivate. And I could have sworn this was fixed already once in Captivate 8 but it's popping up again for us. Here is the situation... We have courses that are made up of multiple lessons which as separate Captivate files. Within those lessons are buttons to link to external documents (which live in a shared document folder), demonstrations, etc. We use relative links because we post these to our amazon servers and we also sell them to clients where they can post them on their own web servers or in their LMS. SO we can't put in full paths for the links or we'd have to change them constantly. So an example is that the link for a button might be "../Document/nameofdoc.pdf" This would be going to a user guide or something that is posted in the "Document" folder that lives at the same level as the lesson's folder. But now, all of the sudden, none of our bazillion links is working. And I've tried buttons, hyperlinks, and even the old click box. Nothing works with relative links. And I did check the permissions on every file and folder on our Amazon server to verify nothing changed there as well. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8. I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS. The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....
Help?

Synching Issues with Self-Paced Learning and Embedded Flash Files

Hi Everyone,
I'm having some issues with my files not properly synching or displaying when Self-Paced Learning is active.
Here is my set-up:
Captivate 5
5 separate Captivate files combined using the Aggregator
Each Captivate file is about 15 slides
Each slide contains an audio file (for closed-captioning) and a single SWF file - the content is all created with Flash and then inserted into Captivate using Insert > Animation
Each SWF file is back 1/10 of a second from the beginning of the Cap timeline (otherwise there are rewind issues when the user selects the slide they are currently viewing from the ToC)
Each embedded SWF has the beginning and ending fade built into it; Captivate is not doing any fading
Synch to Project is selected for each embedded SWF (although it doesn't seem to work all the time)
Self-Paced Learning is active, as well as, Enable Navigation
It is not being loaded to an LMS or using any built-in Captivate quiz features. These are instead custom built AS3 Flash files that are embedded.
Windows 7, 4GB RAM, 1GB Video Card, High-end Processor, etc... a beast.
The Issue:
When the user opens the course, views it for a while and then closes it and returns it will display the first slide of the course for a moment before jumping to the bookmarked slide. This slight timing misstep causes the bookmarked slide to get out of synch. It will sometimes not display the bookmarked slide at all or it will cut-off a small bit from the end of the slide (even with Synch to Project active). It sometimes works fine but randomly will break. The course is set to 100% preload and nothing is being loaded from an external location. It seems to work fine until Self-Paced Learning is activated.
I don't think this is a common development approach for Captivate but it has been very successful with some clients. Has anyone encounted similar issues or does anyone have some suggestions that might resolve this problem?
Thanks!
Greg

It's been mentioned many times on this forum that nesting Captivate SWFs inside other Captivate SWFs gives rise to all kinds of strange issues. Captivate was not designed to work this way. If you choose to do it, and you encounter issues (as you have done) there's usually NOT a lot you can do. There are just too many ways the SWFs can get into bun fights over which one does what.
I suggest you rethink your approach to avoid nesting.

Issues with signal input adaptive filtering, it won't filter the added noise from the input waveform

Hello,
I have an issue with my adaptive noise cancellation program. Essentially I want to input a custom wav add noise to it and then filter the noise away in order to gain the custom wav again.
While doing so I want to read the learning curve and read the adaptive coefficients. Unfortunately I have an issue when it comes to the filtering of the custom wav+noise. It won't filter the signal at all.
It would be helpful if someone could have a look at it and possibly help me out.
Thanks!

Hey Jan,
Thanks for the reply. I am currently using the Adaptive Filter Toolkit in order to obtain those VIs. The VIs which are in use are the LMS Adaptive Filter ones.
I figured there might be an error with the input of the array. This VI requires a DBL Array but it seems like it can not process it.
The "Get Wavefirn Components" works better now but I still have an issue with a time. I put a 9s wav file in but it only computes it in a very short time and I can not play the file while it is computing.
I added the modified program to the attachments.
This program is ought to read a waveform file add noise to it and then use an adaptive filter in order to get the orginal waveform back again and if possible either store or play the final waveform.
Thanks for your help.

CP 6 issue with inserted videos

Hi All,
I have an issue with inserted videos in CP6. They play in preview (F8) but not in published output (swf nor html).
This is what I do:
The videos created with CP6, Record new Demo
output cpvc
open cpvc in CP 6
publish see settings below:
Now I want to insert the captured and published demo into my training CP6 project
click 'Video' on menu bar -> Insert Video -> select 'Event Video' -> browse to the file on my computer -> select file (mp4) - click OK
Video gets loaded into CP6 project with default skin
Before save the changes of the project I change the settings on the property panel to:
Now I preview my project
Press F8
Preview is generated
video demo plays automatically as expected
This all even works well with multiple demo videos on one slide which can be selected by clicking different show me buttons (advanced actions created to show and hide according videos)
BUT now I publish my project and nothing works anymore, videos do not show on scene and cannot be selected with respective show me buttons
Publishing settings are:
At the end of the publishing dialogue I click to view output in web browser (IE9) and there starts the trouble:
IE shows up withfollowing dialogue:
I allow blocked content and select cancel in the following dialogue box:
And the training loads, everything works fine except the videos integrated to start automatically there is a blank space nothing.
Does anyone have an idea solution for me?
I am so puzzled and do not know hoe to proceed...
Thanks in advance for your reply!!!
Stephanie

Hi RodWard,
Thanks for your fast reply!!!
The video files are present in the same folder as the SWF publish location.
The drive letter is on my local PC with multiple partitions and not a network drive.
Flash global security settings are set for E:
To your last suggestion about file naming I did the following:
Generate new mp4s
Name them only with alphanumerics ie. DemoScroll
insert them into project
preview OK
publish and check if demos are in folder - yes they are
open html in IE9 - NOK!!!
Now frustration rose...
So I tried one thing that I had not yet tried - open html in FireFox and there it is OK :-)
I do not understand....BUT we need to be able to support IE!!!!
Do you think there are specific settings that need to be changed in IE to make it work?
I would highly appreciate a suggestion what to look for in IE...
Do you think it is related to IE9? ´
Since I have IE 9 and CP6 I also get the LMS messages and actriveX message when viewing projects in browser.
Looking forward to your help.
Thanks in advance Stephanie

Issue with reporting and additional question

Hello,
1st Question:
I have ran into an issue with the interal server reporting.
If the file is published as an html file, then the reporting works as intended
(Able to see with Quiz Analyzer due to it creating an xml file in the appropriate folder)
However, if I publish the file as a swf file, the reporting does not seem to be working at all.
Does this mean that swf reporting is not supported with the internal server? or?
2nd Question
When reporting likert, as expected the quiz analyzer makes it so that we have go into each individual person to see their inputs.
With that I am able to export it as an excel file for each individual person.
However, is there a way to mass export all the individual responses as 1 excel file with the quiz analyzer?
(Would it be better using Adobe Connect for reporting, or other lms systems?)
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
Quick thigh when you get an error stating "unknown error" means something wrong with your server internal post result php or some cross domain issue. It will be great if you can send us the project for analysis. Please send your project on [email protected]
Will analyze your issue and will get back to you, also I insist if you can provide few steps you opted while setting internal server reporting and the internal server on some machine. This will be very helpful to trace the issue.

Windows Media Player plugin does not install on a fresh install of Firefox 15. This is a real issue with new students.

I have them go to the correct site:
plugin download page on Interoperability Bridges.
My only options are:
1. Have them move some files over manually; which isn't feasible with students who are technically challenged.
2. Have them install an earlier version of Firefox. 11 is the last known good version that accepts the WMP install. The problem I am finding with this is even though I tell them not to update before installing WMP somehow they still manage to do it. A lot of times they don't know how to tell me what version of ANY browser they are using.
Firefox is one of the few browsers that work with our LMS well, but this plug problem is a real issue.
This only pertains to any student who has never had Firefox on their computer prior to 11.
Thanks in advance.

I noticed it after 11, however with 12 students students experienced problems with puzzles in Angel LMS. We had people roll back to 11.
13 came out and that's when the trouble started. I usually stay in beta so I can get a idea of what's working. Once again I had people roll back to 11.
I logged into a system here I had not logged into before and did a fresh install of 11 and I was able to recreate the problem myself.
Getting people on 11 is a little harder this semester because I had to locate the 11 install and send that along with the plugin to new users. The 11 install likes to force the 15 update so they have to get the plugin installed right away. Sometimes the concept is a little much for some people.
Edit: 12 might have been okay, since we were rolling back anyway. I don't recall any issues with WMP the few weeks students had been using it.
Edit 2: I do remember trying to search these forums for the issue and someone posted that they had been experiencing the same problems with 12 beta (at the time it was beta) and I think it was explained as being a beta issue and it never went anywhere else.

Known Issues with Session Vars and non-IE browsers?

Are there any known issues with non-Internet Explorer
browsers storing or reading session variables. Or loops and
ListGetAt functions? I'm using CF 5.
The code works fine in IE, but not in FireFox or Netscape.
Thanks,
Josh

This testing will not really address any cross domain issues, due to the content being hosted by ScormCloud.
What I found interesting, is that in ScormCloud, using the links below, my results were opposite those that I obtained through my LMS.
In LMS, Captivate 5 worked, Captivate 6 did not in IE8, both worked in FF
In ScormCloud, Captivate 5 did not work in IE8, but worked in FF, and Captivate 6 did work in FF and IE8.
Here are the links:

Help with LMS 4.1 device discovery?

Hello,
I'm new to the LMS family and seem to be having an issue with device discovery. The discovery session launches, (I get an email telling me it launched) but the summary page tells me that while the devices are discovered, none of them are reachable.
I've checked the SNMP strings, and they match (and also worked under Whats Up). Is there a specific log I can look at to find out what's going on under the hood of LMS?
Thanks,
Cam Wynd

If you go into the processes and click on CSDiscovery then start, it will run the discovery. That's just a work around for now.

Ciscoworks 3.2 login issue with ACS

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with login into Ciscoworks portal from the LMS server, which is integrated with ACS tool.
Now I am unable to login to the portal with the username and password, which is already configured in the ACS server.
I have ended up with reinstalling the ciscoworks software and restored the backup, still problem persists. Please let me know how to fix it.
If I again reinstall it, how would I restore the backup - since back restoration again gives the login issue.
If Im using only the dcrcli exported devices list after the reinstallation, all the devices gets stuck in DFM question status, hence I restored the proper backup. Now I am stuckup. please help.

You need to sort out your DNS get the lookup and reverse lookup working.
Say your device is a box with
Fa 0/0 10.10.1.1
Lo 0 172.32.1.1
If you get you dns to resolve the address of port Fa 0/0 (10.10.1.1) to the DNS "name adevice.yournetwork.com".
Next you get your DNS to resolve the name "adevice.yournetwork.com" to 172.32.1.1 with happens to be to Lo0 interface of the device
Then you can get LMS to use the address you want as it is configured in DNS
Cheers,
Michel

Deploying Config Templates with LMS 4

Hello,
i tried to deploy configuration templates with Cisco LMS Template Center, thanks to the 10 Cool LMS Tricks to better manage your network i am able to do it now.
Just i don't know why, after deploying these templates the configuration is not save to the startup-config.
another problem i have with the snmp-server location configuration. It seems my template does not support spaces in the textbox.
Any way to put spaces in the snmp location?
<parameter name="snmp-location">
<description>SNMP Server Location</description>
<html-component>textbox</html-component>
<default-value></default-value>
<data-type>string</data-type>
<mandatory>true</mandatory>
<isGlobal>false</isGlobal>
<help-description>snmp-server location</help-description>
<syntax>
<min/>
<max/>
<pattern/>
</syntax>
thanks for your feedback.
alex

I filed CSCtr87633 to track the issue with not being able to save the running config to startup. I had thought this was working, but when I used LMS during CiscoLive!, I had a lot of jobs running, and part of the work involved a Netconfig deployment that also took care of the write mem.
For the space thing, try this template.
