CPI and LMS

Hello,
I'm not very familiar with Cisco Prime Infrastructure or LMS.
I would like to use the application to manage wired devices such as routers and switches and, in a future phase, wireless devices.
I understand CPI allows me to monitor my devices but I'm not sure if I can configure them, for example, what if I need to configure a port, a vlan, or anything, is it possible to do this with CPI?
I also see that getting CPI will include a license for LMS, can both of those applications be installed on the same appliance server?
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
LMS and PI cannot be Installed on the same appliance server.
LMS must be installed in a separate VM or an a UCS server or physical NCS appliance alone.

As per me , you can start the Cisco Prime LMS for now as your focused is to manage the LAN device currently and in future when you plan to manage wireless devices , you can start using PI . I hope by then we should have compelte data migration from LMS to PI.

WCS and LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Upgrade

Hello,
Our customer is currently having WCS for 500 devices and LMS 3.2 for 1500 devices. We are planning to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.
I want to check is the upgrade procedure that we have planned is ok or we have missed something.
Phase 1: WCS to CPI 1.3 upgrade
1. Check that WCS is at 7.0.230.0 version
2. Export WCS database
3. Install NCS 1.1.1.24 software
4. Contact cisco to obtain trial license for NCS software (L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 license).
5. Migrate WCS license and import it in NCS software
6. Migrate WCS data to NCS software using ncs migrate command
7. Patch NCS software
8. Inline upgrade to CPI 1.3 software
9. Install proper licenses on CPI 1.3 (WCS and LMS device count)
My concern in this first phase is should I use NCS large image since our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 software should manage 2000 devices at the end.
Or is it better not to perform inline upgrade and insted go with exporting data from NCS and then importing them to CPI 1.3 that is going to be installed separately?
Phase 2: LMS 3.2 to CPI upgrade
1. Export LMS 3.2 database
2. Install LMS 4.2 software
3. Install license to LMS 4.2
4. Restore data from LMS 3.2 to LMS 4.2
5. Direct upgrade from LMS 4.2 to 4.2.2
6. Export the device list with credentials from LMS 4.2.2 and import it as a Bulk Import in CPI 1.3
At the end we will have CPI 1.3 and LMS 4.2.2 software running.
Is it possible to directly upgrade from LMS 4.2 to LMS 4.2.4 and then import data to CPI 1.3 or we need to go with 4.2.2 version?
Regards,
Jelena

Are this errors going to affect our LMS 4.2 operations?
Then we have upgraded to LMS 4.2.2 and exported data and credentiales for PI import.
On PI 1.3 we have installed WCS 500 devices upgrade license and LMS 1500 upgrade license and now we are having 2000 devices lifecycle license. We have successfully restored WCS data in PI and we have imported LMS devices as bulk import. What is strange is that we have this message in prime regarding licensing:
On LMS 3.2 our customer had saved unlimited number of configuration versioning. After upgrading to LMS 4.2 we can only see last 3 configurations regardless of unlimided number of configurations in previous LMS, so my question is where can we find older configurations in LMS 4.2?
We are planning to turn unlimited versioning on CPI 1.3 now, so our customer will again have feature that they need. Do you have some experiance regarding disk space when all device configurations are stored forever?
Thank you for your help.

Jelena

Calculating CPI and SPI based on Costs Only - No Hours

Sometimes on our projects, our vendors provide a SOW in dollars, no hours and our internal customers work on projects as needed, also only assigning a dollar value to their efforts without hours. Based on the calculations for CPI (EV/AC) and SPI (EV/PV),
you need to assign work (hours) to tasks with dates as well as the costs. I am just curious as to if anyone knows of a way for Project 2007 to calc CPI and SPI on generic resources (cost) by just updating the actual dollars spent.

Hi,
I have tried to put together some scripts that may help you. The sql script may need to be improved and be protected against errors, null values etc.
declare @AC float, @PV float, @EV float, @TPC float,@ProjectUID uniqueidentifier
Select @ProjectUID =''
select @AC=SUM(abd.AssignmentActualCost), @PV=SUM(ISNULL(abd.AssignmentBaseline0Cost,0)) from MSP_EpmAssignmentByDay_UserView abd
inner join MSP_EpmAssignment_UserView a on abd.AssignmentUID=a.AssignmentUID
inner Join msp_epmproject p on a.projectuid=p.projectuid
inner Join msp_epmresource r on a.resourceuid=r.resourceuid
where r.ResourceType in (25,26) and abd.TimeByday <= getdate() and a.Projectuid=@ProjectUID
select @TPC=SUM(ISNULL(abd.AssignmentBaseline0Cost,0)) from MSP_EpmAssignmentByDay_UserView abd
inner join MSP_EpmAssignment_UserView a on abd.AssignmentUID=a.AssignmentUID
inner Join msp_epmproject p on a.projectuid=p.projectuid
inner Join msp_epmresource r on a.resourceuid=r.resourceuid
where r.ResourceType in (25,26) and a.Projectuid=@ProjectUID
select @EV=(ProjectPercentCompleted*@TPC)/100 from MSP_epmProject_userview where ProjectUID=@ProjectUID
select @EV/@AC as CPI, @PV/@EV as CPI
Hope this helps

Can VMS 2.1 and LMS 2.1 be installed in same server?

Dear all,
May I know can VMS 2.1 and LMS 2.1 be installed in same server? If so, how about the sequence of installation? If LMS 2.1 is already installed on the server, do I need to install the VMS Common Services? Thanks
Gary

Hi,
In VMS 2.1 bundle, RME and Security Monitoring Center are included. As I know, RME can receive syslog from switch/router/PIX and Security Monitoring Center can receive syslog from PIX. If I install these two applications on the same server, will there be problems about the syslog receive? Will the syslog messages mix-up? Thanks

Prime Fulfillment 6 AND LMS 4.2 on single Solaris 10 server?

Is it possible to easily operate both Prime Fulfillment 6 AND LMS 4 on single Solaris 10 server?

They were not tested together, and I recommend they not be installed on the same zone instance (due to potential conflicts). Now, if you're certain you have a server that can accommodate both suites (in terms of resources), create separate zones for each suite. This will eliminate the conflict possibility while still giving you one overall physical machine to manage.

Importing .cpi and .mts files into iMovie

A friend provided me hundreds of .cpi and .mts files of footage he shot on a Canon Vixia camcorder. The files are on a DVD disc. How do I import them into iMovie 09?

You may have already resolved this issue, but I found out some great information today from Sony directly. I was having the same problem, and I was convinced iMovie (i'm using iMovie 09) couldn't import MTS files. I was wrong iMovie does it very easily. The problem iMovie has is when you connect your camera, most people click the "video camera" icon so they can see the videos on their camera they wish to import. What I found is that if you haven't cleared off your video camera in some time, and have over 10 gigs of video on the camera, iMovie has a real hard time, because it has to search the camera and bring up the clips in that lower window pane and often times it will basically time-out, and if you click that camera again the iSight camera launches.
What I did was go thru the clips on my video camera that I could delete (actually watched them on the camera itself), this can be time consuming. But, once I cleared down the content on my camera under 10 gigs, iMovie saw the information quickly. Here's another thing I did, that also may help...instead of clicking on that little camcorder icon, use FILE, Import from Camera at the top menu bar instead. When I did this, it started looking for my attached video camera. From now on I will clear off my video camera more frequently so that iMovie doesn't bog down looking for possible imporatable videos on the camera. Recommendation from Sony was keep it under 10 gigs.
Hope this helps.
Tim
P.S. There is no truth to the idea that iMovie does not import MTS files. My Sony HD Handycam takes all MTS files and iMovie has no problem with them at all.

Upgradding Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

Hello,
A customer currently have 2,500 Cisco Prime Infrastructure Lifecycle device license using Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x. the customer wants to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to version 2.0 without additional cost? the licenses from
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has to be upgraded or we need only to rehost the VUDI.
Also could be possible to upgrade LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0?
thanks!

The two features you mention are two big missing ones. Another is full syslog capability. I don't believe CiscoView or day one support via package updates is included either.
Another is less tangible - the depth of experience and documentation available for LMS vs. Prime Infrastructure (particularly the wired management features). I agree for wireless PI 2.0 looks good. Some new features are coming for wired that look promising but they are new as of PI 2.0 so I'm taking a wait and see on them.
I hope to get 2.0 up in my lab in the next week or so and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but that's seldom the case with a major new release.

Issue with .flv Captivate and LMS

Hi, I am testing an LMS that we will be rolling out in the
New Year. We have produced some Captivate2 modules and have
successfully loaded them as SCORM2004 onto the LMS and they run
okay.
I tried creating a .flv using Studio8 and inserted it into a
Captivate 2. The module runs okay on my harddrive. I create the
manifest.xml file and zip all the content and upload onto the LMS.
The LMS will launch the file okay and it plays and stops at the
point where the flv should play - but it doesn't there is nothing
not even the small flv controls are displayed. If I click on the
forward button it advances to the next part of the Captivate as
normal.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
thanks
Gerry

I highly recommend you look at:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=470&threadid =1203710&highlight_key=y&keyword1=flv
This issue is one that is CAUSED by Adobe. The flvs work fine
on an Adobe server. They are trying to force people to use their
service.
It sucks, and I hope someone fixes it soon -- not being able
to play flv is ridiculous.

Adobe Presenter and LMS

Help--if I create an e-learning course with Adobe Presenter I have three output options for publishing.
Creation of a flash presentation via HTML (SWF)
Run it through Adobe Connect Pro
Publish to a PDF
Can any of these be supported through an LMS other than Connect Pro? I'm trying to tie a developed course to an LMS on a large scale such that multiple companies can register many employees and manage, track course completion, etc.
Dan

My opinion is positive, depending on your needs. We use Presenter and Captivate for all of our courses. Presenter has ease of use going for it. If you can use PowerPoint, you can use Presenter. That can be good or bad. I believe Presenter is great for straight-forward, click-through courses. Quizzing is decent. It's not a robust, option-laden application.
Captivate is great for simulations and interactive learning. You can force the learner to participate.
I haven't used many others out there but Adobe has two winners in these products.

Captivate and LMS JavaScript Problem

We use Captivate and a Plateau LMS. We had an issue with
bookmarking within our course. The first lesson worked just fine,
but later lessons were not bookmarking. We added javascript alerts
to the code to see when the Captivate content was setting LMS
variables.
We feared the issue was the bandwidth between the client and
the LMS was so limited that the script attempting to set the LMS
variables was failing, but this is not the case. The script appears
to not run at all sometimes at random intervals. When it does run
it is successful each time. The first lesson, which works reliably,
is much smaller than the other lessons, maybe the size of the SWF
factors into the ability for the script to run properly?
Has anyone else run across this issue? Does anyone have
advice in deeper troubleshooting an issue like this?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris

I think that CP3 sends back its data on a time basis, not a
slide
basis...like every 7 seconds or something?
We've had customers who are tracking interaction data in
their CP
quizzes which have like 40 questions. If they go through it
too quickly,
the timed 'save' to the LMS gets behind quickly...so by the
time the
user is done, only 2/3rds of the suspend data has been
saved...
And I imagine the bookmark could be left out entirely as
well.
So see if it's a timing thing? Go through slowly, see if
posting happens
on a timed basis...maybe that will help determine where the
issue is...
I do wonder how CP4 sends its data back...

Abap Lists - Printing - defining font and CPI and applying to printed text

Hi,
I am trying to define some forms for matrix printing. I should change the font type, and CPI.
We will print ABAP Lists.
I see my fonts (courier, 100, 12CPI, Prnt.Ctrl SF005) are defined in SE73.
In SPAD - device type (choose spec. one) u2013 Print Controls (tab) I can see SF005, marked u201EDirectu201C column, as well as u201EHexadecimalu201C. Control Character Sequence is 1B6B001B4D121B57001B461B35.
I can see 31 more SFxxx Print controls here.
How do I apply specific Print Controls (SF005) from this list to a printed document? (I assume this is the list of available prnt.ctrls that can be used for printing, but how do I "select" specific ones and apply them to document print?)
How do I choose u201ECOL0N: Color off, normal fontu201D (intensified OFF u2013 I heard that sap print in bold by default)?
Thanks in advance,
cheers,
Nenad
P.s. u2013 in printer settings the default font is Coourier 10, 12CPI, draft output. If I change this settings on printer directly, no effect is applied on printed documents... Printing from ECC 6.0

hi again,
more info:
In Formats (Z_fakt1) - Formats (tab): u201EPrinter initializationu201C, I can see some predefined settings, but it is copied from some IBM printer, and I wonder is it correct. There is nothing about font type:
#reset
\e\0x40
select US-ASCII character set
\e\0x52\0x00
set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
set page length to 12 inch (=72 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x48
cancel bottom margin
\e\0x4F
set left margin to 0
\e\0x6C\0x00
select draft quality
\e\0x78\0x00
select non-proportional spacing
\e\0x70\0x00
cancel condensed printing
\0x12
disable double-width printing
\e\0x57\0x00
select 10 CPI
\e\0x50
Result here is: 11CPI. Bold. Looks like "Times New Roman"
The exact copy from IBM printer is used for another format (Z_fakt2), nothing is different except:
select 12 CPI
\e\0x4D
Result here is: 10CPI. Bold. I am under BIG impression that the font type is different. But it is possible the font looks different just due to a size difference. Looks like "Courier New"
In both cases I print predefined text with same output device, same device type.
When I set 15CPI (0x67) u2013 I still get 10CPI, just the font looks more plain, more "draft" then before - like once in DOS. I am certain that these font type is definitely different then before (for example, here "W" have parallel endings). These fonts are even more suitable for these reports...
Shouldn't the fonts be SMALLER and more of them in 1 inch (15 characters per inch) now then 10CPI (10 character per inch - less characters to fill 1 inch)??
If I set 1CPI - shouldn't there be just 1 big character on 24,5mm?
When I delete all entry (except # reset \e\0x40) from "Printer initialization" for one Format, the print output looks exact as before deleting (and saving)?!
I would like to set Courier font, (really 12CPI), plain text, no bold.
Where should I set this options?
Thanks and sorry for long input, but the more info you have, the more insight ou have in my problem...
Cheers,
N

Captivate and LMS Force 10

Does anyone know if Captivate works with the LMS system Force
10?
Thanks,
Jeff

I think that CP3 sends back its data on a time basis, not a
slide
basis...like every 7 seconds or something?
We've had customers who are tracking interaction data in
their CP
quizzes which have like 40 questions. If they go through it
too quickly,
the timed 'save' to the LMS gets behind quickly...so by the
time the
user is done, only 2/3rds of the suspend data has been
saved...
And I imagine the bookmark could be left out entirely as
well.
So see if it's a timing thing? Go through slowly, see if
posting happens
on a timed basis...maybe that will help determine where the
issue is...
I do wonder how CP4 sends its data back...

Captivate 5.5 and LMS

Hello,
Ever since I begun creating projects from Captivate 5.5 and uploaded it in our LMS, I have observed this below image which briefly displays just before my project begins to play.
I hope someone could explain to me what does it actually do.
Projects were published as SCORM1.2 compliant and so far my projects are okay. Just needed some explainations on its existence.

This image displays while your Captivate module is connecting to the LMS. You can configure the text that displays in this animation at that time via the field at Preferences > Quiz > Reporting > Enable Reporting > LMS Initialization Text.
It doesn't appear when you're not using a SCORM-compliant LMS. If the course module is having difficulty connecting to your LMS, this animation will be there for quite a while. Normally it will disappear within a second or two at most.

AW and LMS

The situation:
We created a course that consists of three modules for
running at a
LMS(Moodle). These modules are hierarchical. The learner
begins with modules
1. At a certain point he can switch to modules 2 and then to
module 3. The
same back. The modules are AW-pieces.
The problems:
It is not possible to launch module 2 direct from module1 (by
the function
GoToNetPage), because the first golden rule of scorm is: A
SCO may not
itself launch other SCOs. But how I tell the LMS: Now (when
the learner
pushed a button within the module 1) starting module 2?
When package the modules with One Button publishing, create
the package with
the Authorware Learning Object Content Packager and the
matadata file with
Authorware Learning Object Metadata Editor I get all the
necessary files
separate for every module. But how I get the information for
the LMS that
these modules are part of one course? I guess that the
"Groups" in the
Authorware Learning Object Metadata Editor have something to
do with that,
but how is it to use?
Thank you for every help.
Frieder

right.
