LMS rcp issue

Hi
When adding devices to DCR via LMS dicovery ,it adds them successfully but unable to grab device configuration. On remote device I created a local cwuser and enabled rcmd rcp. There is no access list blocking LMS. the only difference is cwuser is a local user on device but deice itself is getting authenticated from tacacs , I also created a tacacs account for cwuser but no still no luck . In logs i am seeing this
Feb 2 04:15:00.009 UTC: AAA: parse name=tty9 idb type=-1 tty=-1
Feb 2 04:15:00.009 UTC: AAA: name=tty9 flags=0x11 type=5 shelf=0 slot=0 adapter=0 port=9 channel=0
Feb 2 04:15:00.009 UTC: AAA/MEMORY: create_user (0x871F94FC) user='' ruser='NULL' ds0=0 port='tty9' rem_addr='NULL' authen_type=NONE service=LOGIN priv=1 initial_task_id='0', vrf= (id=0)

Please advise if RCP can work with tacacs , thanks for your time.

You don't create a local user. the device is the client en LMS the server.
LMS telnets or ssh's to the devices and rcp's to itself via cli.
Cheers,

LMS Backup issue (related with re-install HUM)

Since the HUM evaluation period expired, I want to reinstall HUM 1.2 (LMS 3.2) because my customer didn't had enough time for evaluation.
I order to do this, I have uninstalled the HUM 1.2 and reinstalled HUM. However, during the re-installation the mandatory automatic backup failed.
The backup.log file doesn't contain any errors (backup completed). A manual backup seems to work fine and the system is working properly.
What is causing this issue? or is there a way to skip the backup performed during LMS 3.2 (HUM only) installation.
thanks in advance for any help

we have purchased a (promo) HUM license now, but it doesn't include the media. How to get a copy of the HUM software
Since I can't use the originally shipped HUM evaluation copy (installation fails on the backup as described in my original post)

LMS Discovery Issue

We have a customer with an issue with LMS discovery.
It will discover new devices but will fail to update them to the DCR, because it does not match the credential set policy when the credential set is defined by Device name and an SNMP OID is used.
They have different devices and depending on the type they use different credentials, Wireless AP’s for example use different credentials to Routers.
They can match on other fields to get a large amount of devices discovered however are still missing the majority.
With little knowledge of this product, can anyone tell me if this is supported?
Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin,
Credentials set policy has nothing to do with the devices getting updated in DCR.
while configuring the device discovery settings do not select any DCR credentilas set.
One thing that you need to make sure is that devices are SNMP reachable and the Community string that you are using in the device disocvery settings should be CORRECT.
Thanks

Lms few issues

Hi Netpro
i have lms 4.2 runing on windows , i have the below issues:
1)i cant open the topology service , using IE 8.0 with only java installed in my client that comes built in with lms even though i have applied the same setting mentioned on the configuration guide related to IE setting
2)i have few devices mentioned unconnected even though the have cdp enable with with correct community string
3)i heard that you can send one command to all devices managed by LMS at once , how and from where you can do that?
thanks
ibrahim

LMS may not need a serial number. But still you can get a Contract that covers LMS to open a TAC case.
If it is just a confirmation on that patch you are referring to, you can check that here in CSC as well. If that patch is available in CCO you can download and install and no need of a TAC guidance on it.
-Thanks

Cap4 - LMS Completion Issues

I've successfully used Captivate 3 to create a series of courses for our LMS (Hummingbird), and have now moved on to Captivate 4. However, my learners are now finding that our LMS is not giving proper completion credit, regardless of how many times they access and run through the courses. This seems to be happening now for courses created in Captivate 3 & 4. I went so far as to set up our LCR so that credit is given upon access, instead of completion. Basically, these guys should be getting completion credit just for opening the course.
There is no trend with regard to operating system (some are XP, others Win7), browser (we've tested them all...IE7, IE8, Chrome, Opera, FireFox) or Flash version (everyone is on Flash 10). HOWEVER, it seems as if the only folks who can successfully get course credit have an earlier version of Java (Version 6, Update 21 or below). Everyone who has this issue seems to be on Java Version 6, Update 22.
Has anyone else run into a similar issue?

We don't use Hummingbird, but our LMS Settings include an option called 'Finish causes immediate commit'; this is needed when suerver traffic delays the information sent back to the LMS after the course is closed. You might check your LMS Settings for something similar ... good luck!

LMS License issues

I have problem with device limit. So far i only add-in 46switches but only showing 43switches. Also i found out on the user tracking around 57devices. Is the user include on the NFR license 100devices? If that so, how can i limit the license only to calculate switches instead of the user devices? Please advise.

License count will increment if a discovered or configured device is managed by any of the LMS functions. To change a given device or set of devices from being managed, use the Device Allocation settings as described here.

Question:
Although CiscoWorks can successfully do the Inventory Collection and Sync Archive job of the same device.
Also as you can see above CiscoWorks can do Software Repository job via TFTP. As TFTP is not reliable, RCP is TCP protocol, I want to use RCP.
Please advise that why RCP is failing and how I can correct the RCP issue.
Thanks

This issue is resolved itself by rebooting the CiscoWorks Server.

Display issues with languages other than English (also related: slide results not reporting to LMS)

Running: Captivate 6
I'm having two
issues that I thought was only tied to Cyrillic characters, but appears to be with multiple languages (confirmed with Brazillian Portugese, Latin American Spanish, Swedish and Russian).
1. Quiz Pass/Fail result message appearing truncated (top and bottom of message is cut off, or message appears wrapped and overlaps)
I've attempted converting the text to a UTF-8 format and tried that as well, but had no success.
2. We have a 108 slide test created in Captivate v6; the English version pushes all 108 slide results to our LMS without issue. When we created the version in Russian, one slide refused to push slide results.
Steps to confirm/resolve:
I've confirmed the settings are identical on the project and on the slide between both the EN and RU versions
I've pasted the russian text into the working EN project and published/tested and that particular slide does not push results to the LMS (the only thing changed was the text on the existing slide)
I've tried duplicating working slides and replacing text; it fails to report
I've tried converting the text to a UTF-8 format and replacing the text; again it fails to push slide results to our LMS
I've tried about every option I can to get the RU version fo the test working (pushing results for all 108 slides); Out of desperation I've created a work around which is putting the question and answer options in as images (not text) and then the test pushes all 108 slide results. This leads me to believe that the issue is regarding how the font is viewed/read by Captivate 6 and ultimately reported to our LMS (SABA).
I've reached out to our localization company (SDL) and their only suggestion was the UTF-8 formatting (which failed).
Please help! Thanks!!

Hi,
If your homepage framework is working for German language then check if your setting are properly maintain for Area Group Key SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005 in French Turkish Portugese..
Solution:Login to system in each language i.e FR, TR, PT
navigate to SPRO>FA>TM>ESS>Homepage FR> select Header & Area Group Pages>
Select Define Area Group Pages > Add Entries> Select the SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005 Key check weather the Area Group
Role Text is maintain for FR TR PT if not maintain the translation your problem will be resolved.
Do let me know the status of homepage..

LMS 4.2.4 intermittent Syslog issue

Hi All,
syslogs services on the LMS stops all of a sudden and doesn't reflect the current logs from the devices till we restart services.
Performed below steps
-> Found the device logs are making its way to syslog.log file(CSCOpx>logs)
-> SyslogCollector and SyslogAnalyzer are in healthy state.
-> Even the collector subscription status is fine.
After the restart of the SyslogCollector and SyslogAnalyzer the logs reflects back on lms. Issue is intermittent and reappeared couple of times. any suggestions to find root of the problem ??
Regards,
Channa

Hi Channa,
looks like , you are getting huge no. of syslogs from your devices..

LMS 4.2 Topology View

Hi
I have installed LMS 4.2 in one of my customer site. We have added all the switches and everything works perfectly. Recently we added all the CCTV cameras in lms.
Issue is that when CCTV camera is down it takes a long time to show in topology map..Any one knows how to make view in topology map as real time. Atleast a delay of 30sec is okay..
Regadrs
-Danish

Topology view is not really intended to be a real time (or near real time) fault management tool. While you can turn up the speed of it's discovery cycle, it will create excessive workload and, depending on the size of your network, may result in polling never stopping due the time to complete one cycle being more than the time you have configured to start over again.
To see near real time faults (such as loss of a CCTV camera), have operators refer to the Fault Monitor display:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/lms_monitor/mnt-faultbrowser.html
If you want to customize the polling of devices for fault management, refer to the Fault Management chapter of that same guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/user/guide/lms_monitor/mnt-fault.html

Course won't load in LMS

We have a number of courses we created in Captivate 5.5 before we were able to upgrade to 6. It seems like most of these courses have had some sort of issue with loading and/or resuming. They'll start to load the player and just hang on "Loading". I've read somewhere that resume data in 5.5 didn't always play nice with the LMS, so we were hoping to republish these courses in 6.
My question is this: Will republishing a 5.5 file through 6 properly fix/update the resume data, or are we basically out of luck with those courses?
Our full situation is a little more complicated, but a clear answer to this would help us fit a piece to the puzzle and eliminate a variable. We republished a 5.5 to 6, replaced it, and it still seems to hang on the load screen. But the odd thing is, it works perfectly fine from other networks. We aren't experiencing any filter/firewall issues between our servers and the LMS, so I can't figure out what's making the Captivate courses in particular hang on just OUR network.
UGH.

Captivate 6 introduced totally new SCORM drivers from the same company that makes the SCORM Cloud online LMS, which is reportedly the most SCORM-compliant LMS on the planet.
Since these SCORM drivers have been introduced we've been seeing far fewer LMS integration issues reported in this Adobe Captivate Forum. So I would definitely recommend that you upgrade Captivate, but I would suggest you do the upgrade to Cp7 now rather than Cp6 and that you go for the Subscription plan so that from now on all your licenses will be using the very latest software. Trying to get good integration with LMSs is a moving target.
Another thing I would suggest is that you make sure there is no caching of Captivate course content being done on your network. It is possible that your issue could be related to older copies of the courses still being served up by Proxy servers. One way to test is to publish the same course with a totally different name and see if it suffers the same problem.

Resume feature not working when published in LMS

I am using captivate 6 and have published my course in our LMS (scorm1.2).
I have turned of the advanced quiz option to never send resume data (see below)
When I exit the course part way through, then open it again it starts at the beginning.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there,
If you have kept 'never send Resume Data' unchecked, then it should presumably resume from where you left off.
Which LMS are you using?
and also can you test your project in a free LMS like cloud.scorm.com, sign up there for free and publish the zipped output there, with same settings.
Please test your project there in order to check whether this is LMS specific issue or issue with settings in Captivate.
Thanks.

Catalyst 4507R plus E Switch Discovery Issue

Hi,
I am having issues doing automatic discovery for Cisco Catalyst 4507R plus E Switch IOS 12.2(54)SG, I am using IP ping sweep to discover devices on my network.
When i first setup LMS4.0 with few devices on the network, i discover the C4507 without a problem together with other devices i have on the network but for some reasons now its failing to discover C4507. I have large numbers of WS-C3560X and C4507 on the network, WS-C3560X always discovered just fine.
I tried to use SolarWinds network device monitor I installed on the server to check if there's any SNMP or connectivity issues. I can discover C4507 using Solarwinds without a problem, so im suspecting it could be LMS configuration issue.
Is there any special settings I need to tweak to make this working?

A newer version of IOS should generally be fine.
It's generally the SNMP sysObjectID that LSM keys into. As noted in the table you cited, it should be 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1286 for the 4507R+E.

Captivate 4/SCORM/LMS

Adobe E-Learning Suite CS4 w/
Captivate 4
Flash CS4
etc...
I'm pretty sure everyone looking at that subject is sighing and rolling the eyes. lol.
In any event I really need some help, as soon as possible.
Let's go with that I have NO experience with SCORM compliance or LMS.
I had created a Software Simulation CBT, basically used for employees to learn how to use an application that my client uses.
I had originally done this all in one, and it ended up being around 150 slided.
The opening slide has a 16 second Flash produce introduction with 16 second audio.
Only other audio is produced from clicking the "Next" button
Only other Flash is from FMR demonstrating the software (very minimal)
It seemed that publishing such a large file produced very inconsistant files - sometimes very buggy in sections - back button not working properly, getting stuck on quiz slides, etc.
So I broke up the large file in 8 separate files. Intro, Modules 1 - 6, Conclusion.
Now... Here comes my next problem. I set up all the SCORM/Quiz reporting. Each of the modules has a quiz associated with it for reporting. Intro and Conclusion have reporting on the last "NEXT" button.
What I am asked from our client, is that the employee will log onto the LMS - click on the Course Name - and it will launch the intro. Now to the user, the rest of the course should be seamless. It's for the most part (except for one section in Module 1) completely linear. When the user gets to the last slide of the Intro section, when they click next it should go to the first slide of Module 1. It should have the built in TOC that I built in the flash files. I did all the SCORM 2004 reporting options, manifest file, etc. I used the SCORM Packager provided (the aggregator) and sucessfully created a .ZIP to upload to the LMS.
I downloaded Moodle, full package, to use as a sandbox LMS on my local system.
When I upload the .zip file produced from the SCORM packager, and run it in the LMS the TOC does not show all of the modules.
Also, when I get to the last slide of Intro and click "NEXT" it just goes to a blank screen.
How do I make this a seamless transaction with proper LMS reporting - which is NOT pass/fail it's just completion.
Anybody still reading yet??
Please let me know if you need anymore information, it's very vital that I get this figured out by this weekend as our client is requesting a final product by Monday/Tuesday. I really really appreciate any help that can be provided, thank you all very much in advance.
I fear I may be in over my head here... which is not an option.

Imagine that a SCORM course is a book. This book has separate chapters - each chapter is a SCO. If you have a SCORM course that consists of 7 SCO's you would still only have one course in the LMS. Depending on how the SCORM communication is set up YOU define how the course should work.
Example of a SCORM manifest (NOT correct - only an example)
Title: Course title
SCO1: Chapter 1 - Introduction - introduction.html (the HTML files which has the apiwrapper and loads your swf)
SCO2: Chapter title - resource link
SCO3: Chapter title - resource link
Okay, so I guess my question is this then. Is it MY responsibility as the programmer to link the SCOs together within Captivate? or is that done within the SCORM manifest? Or does the LMS handle this?
I would say that it is your responsibility. The programmer / developer would need to put in the SCORM calls in the chapters/SCO's for it to work. This cannot be done afterwards.
In other words, lol, does the next button on the last slide of each module have to "Open File/URL" or can it simply say "Continue" as it does now and the LMS, via the manifest, will know to open the next module and start that slide annnnd will it report as one final score?? That's the other thing, I would like it to report one score for the overall course (it's actually not a score, it's just a complete/incomplete)
No you would need to do two things at the end of each module.
1 - Set the particular module as "Completed" in the LMS by using a SCORM command
2 - Close the particular module in the LMS by using a SCORM command.
Once these two are done then the LMS will unload the current module and automatically fetch the next module in the SCORM manifest and run that.
If you are only interested in reporting complete/incomplete then this is enough. Just call the SCORM commands to set each module as completed and then the SCORM command to unload the module. Once they go through the last module all is completed and the course is "passed".
As for the TOC I am a bit confused.
Do you have a TOC for each of the modules created in Captivate? If so then this will work just fine in an LMS.
If you have a TOC using the Aggregator then you would of course need to use Captivate to make the SCORM package. Another option could be to check if the LMS has a "TOC" of it's own. Many LMS' build their own TOC based on the SCORM imsmanifest.
One suggestion I have for you.. Make a testfile for your client. This file should basically be what you tried to upload to Moodle first. Completely done in Captivate and Aggregator. Then ask them to load this in their LMS and see if they encounter any problems first. As I said Moodle isn't the best choice for troubleshooting LMS / SCORM issues ;o) Perhaps everything works perfectly well in their corporate LMS.
