Question on Captivate RH integration

Hello!
I am a Captivate user and have a question about RoboHelp 6
integrating Captivate. Can anyone throw some light on whether the
complete Captivate application is available via Robo Help or is
just the recording features (simulation)? It will support
everyrthing like quizzes and all that?
Thanks!
Jyothi

Hi Jyothi
I'm going to say it all depends on what you are trying to do.
If all you are talking about is bringing Captivate movies you have
created into RoboHelp, this part does indeed seem to work. As long
as you have no issues using Captivate otherwise, nothing should
surface.
On the other hand, if you are referring to the touted ability
to launch Captivate from inside RoboHelp in order to create a
recording, my experience has been that it doesn't work as well as
I'd have hoped. Captivate does indeed launch and I am able to
record and do things in Captivate, but the silly Publish button is
disabled (many refer to it as "grayed out") so it does me
absolutely no good if I cannot publish into Flash so as to bring
back into RoboHelp.
Sadly, the ability to Right-click and edit the .SWF using
Captivate simply doesn't seem to work.
Lastly, while the Captivate output does seem to allow itself
to be added to a topic properly, if you are using a skin, for some
reason the size changes to something much smaller than what you
intended after inserting. So I'd suggest not using the Borders
feature if you are planning this. This will result in a single .SWF
output. Either that, or tweak the content as needed after adding
it.
Aside from that, things seem fine. Just keep the applications
separated and use them individually. Then mix the output as
desired.
Hopefully this was what you were looking for... Rick

Questions on SCOM -SCVMM integration

Hi All,
I have some questions on SCOM -SCVMM Integration. Please help me in answering them.
1) Can multiple SCVMM servers be integrated with the same SCOM Management Server?
2) Does uninstalling an older version of the SCOM Console on the SCVMM server require a reboot of the server?
3) Does installing the SCOM Console on the SCVMM server require a reboot of the server?
4) For what purpose is the SCOM Operations Console used on the SCVMM server; is it just required to install the binaries to connect with the Management Server?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, S K Agrawal

Hi, I did the integration some time ago and took some screen shots - see the following link:
http://myopsmgrblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/scom-integration-with-scvmm/
One thing to be aware of is the following:
Then add the SCVMM service account into the SCOM Admins Group (a reboot of the SCVMM server may be required for the group membership to be updated).

Questions relating to Groupware Integration (Outlook)

Hello,
I have few questions relating to groupware integration for Outlook:
Q1) The "Relate to CRM" option in outlook add-in for end user is available only in client side integration? Is it not available for server sider integration (i.e. in server side, end user cannot directly assign CRM account or Transaction to object in outlook the way it is done in client side)?
Q2) Is there any end user interface (like add-on) available in server side?
Q3)In client side - Can the outlook add-on for SAPCRM be enhanced for different business logic or look n feel?
Thanks,
Vicky

Hello Vicky,
1) Yes the Relate to SAP CRM function is part of Client-side groupware only.
2) The Add-in is only available with Client-side groupware.
3) The Add-in cannot be customized. However the results can be influenced by parameters in transaction GWIPROFILE.
The information displayed in the Business information Pane can be changed.

Quiz questions in Captivate 7

I'm fairly new to Captivate, but well-versed with other Adobe products.
I'm working on quiz questions in Captivate 7, but maybe (hopefully?) I'm doing it all wrong. Outlined below:
Need questions sprinkled throughout the module, we call them "Check Your Understanding." For now, true/false, multiple choice, etc. Will eventually include rollovers, etc.
Currently, I have a multiple choice question. Slide begins with a header caption created with two shapes and a text caption with "Check Your Understanding." Would like that entire group to fly in from the left for seven seconds. When I preview the slide, half of the group is visible, but unmoving unless I hit Play. I thought it should play automatically?
Second, when the question is submitted, even if the question is wrong, it just advances to the next slide. I need to require a correct answer before moving on OR the correct answer to show, and maybe a reason why. I can't get any of that to work.
I don't have a need for the results/review slide to show at the end, but is that inhibiting the result from displaying on the slide itself?
Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Is this a default question slide or a custom question slide created using standard objects and advanced actions? If it is a default MCQ be careful not to delete objects that are normally available on the master slide for that question, you can make them invisible but deleting (with the exception of some buttons) could lead to weird results. You are using an effect I suppose for the group? Look at the timeline (or better post a screenshot of the timeline): for a default question slide there will be a pausing point (used by the two-step process of that question slide: http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate) and I suspect that this pause is interrupting your fly-in effect.
Read the blog post about the behavior of question slides please. And it is a good practice not to have the playbar available for question slides. Another intuition tells me that by hitting Play you forced the playhead to pass over the pausing point, in the inactive part of the slide and that is why the playhead continues after submitting.

How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

I'm looking
a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
into captivate.
All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
Thanks in advance
-Joan

Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5.
Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
application/ form. Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
Adobe pdf, Word document or another format. Our current content
developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
1> exclude questions from the Published content
(exclude section questions, or final test content)
2> produce different test versions from question banks
3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
4> Select which questions we want to produce
5> Import questions from a pre-defined format. To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank. etc..
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
Such as
"INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
"WEB TRAINING"
"PAPER TEST A"
"PAPER TEST B"
ETC...
LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content. Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id'). My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.

How do I change the color of the matching letter in a matching quiz question in Captivate 8?

The default dropdown box has white text with a white background. The text for the questions and answers is black. That doesn't change the dropdown letter to black, though. I've tried changing the default styles, and it only changes the main text, not the letters in the dropdown box. An old post for captivate 5.5 mentions changing the text color to differ from the dropdown answer color, but I want the reverse--the dropdown letter color to match the rest of the text. Actually, I'd take any color that would show up on the default white background for the box.
Please, any answers in layperson terms. I don't know code and am refamiliarizing myself with Captivate after a few years away from it.
Thanks,
Sally

I probably should add that it is only on publish that the text color changes to white. When I'm working in the Captivate program, the dropdown text appears black.

Table of Contents navigation question in Captivate 5.5

Hi - I'm a fairly new user of Captivate (5.5.), and hope that someone can answer this question. I'm trying to set up a table of contents with navigation that will not let users go to slides that they have not yet viewed, but still enable users who have left and re-entered a course go back to any previous slide that they've viewed. Here are some details:
* I'm publishing the course using the SCORM 2004 setting, and testing it in SCORM Cloud and our LMS (Cornerstone)
* The table of contents navigation is set only to "Navigate visited slides only."
* After reading as many of the related posts as I could find on this forum, I've been able to get bookmarking to work - that is, the course will take the user back to where he or she left off. And by using the InfoSemantics TicTOC widget, when a user returns to the course, all previously viewed slides are checked off in the table of contents.
* However, whatever I've tried, a user who leaves and goes back into a course can only navigate back to the first slide, not to any of the other slides he or she already viewed. I'd like for our users to be able to go back to any previous slide they viewed (for example, to review the section just before the one where they left off, or to review any part of the course for reference after completing it).
Is there a combination of settings, or a widget somewhere, that will let you both limit forward navigation to visited slides only, while still allowing users to go back to any previously viewed slide after exiting and re-entering a course? And this would need to work in an LMS.
Thanks for any advice you can give!

I did have the self-paced learning option checked, so I unchecked it. I did not have "user must past quiz" as required (it's set as optional). I tried adding an interactive button to the first slide and giving it a score. But after re-publishing, I still can only go back to the first slide (not any previously viewed slide) if I stop and re-enter the course. Here are the settings:
Quiz Reporting:
Manifest:
LMS Customization:
Quiz Settings:
Quiz Pass/Fail:
Settings for the interactive object on the first slide:
Settings for the "quiz" on the last slide:
Thanks so much for helping me with this.

Question on Siebel/JDE integration

I am a long time Siebel developer and am fairly new to JDE EnterpriseOne. My company has initiated a switch from Siebel 7.5.3 Service to JDE. The idea is to convert the Siebel data into the JDE database, but I am questioning this approach.
Does anyone have experience with either converting Siebel to JDE or performing an integration via Fusion?
Thanks in advance.

No one has any thoughts/suggestions on this subject?

How do I add a progress monitor to a drag and drop question in captivate 7

I need to build a quiz. We have spent a lot of time on the style guide and appearance but I am having difficulty adding a progress monitor to my drag and drop questions. How can I do this?

A Drag&Drop is not a normal question slide, hence that progress indicator is not added, and it wouldn't even be functional.
Long time ago I explained how to create a custom progress indicator, maybe it can help you: Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog

Write fractions for a quiz question in Captivate 8

I'm creating a math quiz using Captivate 8 and I would like to write fractions in a Random Quiz Slide better than "3/4". I'm using Myriad Pro font and have the question and answer reporting to an LMS and an email reporting widget. I need fractions that are not presets like 1/2 or 2/3. I need 7/15th etc. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Did you try MathMagic? It is included with Captivate, but the resulting formulas will be images.

Survey Quiz Questions in Captivate 7

Skipping and returning to questions in Captivate 5

Hi folks,
Is there any way, in Captivate 5, to allow users to skip quiz questions, but automatically return to skipped questions at the end of the quiz, before the results page comes up?
I need to include a required quiz in a module, but let the users skip questions and come back to them later. I know that checking "Allow Backward Movement" allows the user to go back and answer skipped questions. But I'm trying to see if there's a way to get Captivate to automatically do this, rather than require the user to remember how many and which questions they skipped, and to have to go back to them.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mahdi

You could probably do this with Advanced Actions, trying to track the questions that have or have not been answered. But it would be somewhat complex.
I don't know of any simple way to do it in Cp.

Creating automatic failure questions in Captivate 5

Is there a way to create questions that when a user answers incorrectly they automatically fail and end the quiz? I’m using Captivate 5 and have been creating assessments through the question pool manager.
Thanks!

Hello,
The easiest way would be to give those questions a high score, and set the Pass score in such a way that they cannot Pass if they failed one of those questions.
But perhaps you want to throw them out after such an incorrect answer, and not allow them to continue? In that case you could use the Failure action to navigate to the score slide immediately?

Stupid question: Adjusting brightness with integrated GPU on nforce2

The monitor I use is very dark, and unfortunately, the drivers that I downloaded for the integrated GeForce4 MX don't have any way to increase the brightness or gamma that I know of (admittedly I don't know much about this).
The tnt2 ultra I used prior to this system had a slider right in the advanced graphics option in display properties. When I go to the GeForce4 MX panel of the advanced display options, I do see a slider for brightness in the video overlay submenu, but those don't work.
My question is, is there a way to increase the gamma/brightness? I already have my monitor turned up all the way on brightness. It's so dark on this system that some games are unplayable.

I install the gforce driver from nvidia's website. Their everything driver(its like Via's 4in1) includes the integrated gpu driver. It does contain controls that work for gamma etc. Go to display properties, advanced, gforce4 mx integrated gpu. A submenu should pop out to the left- if not press additional properties, or if you see a little green arrow pointing left press it. Click on nview display mode. Click on device settings, and then color correction. There you are! They don't make it easy. Sorry if this is not to clear. Sometime not so good my english :P

Mixed Questions BW / HANA / BO integration

Hi,
I got some some mixed question.
I'm placing this questions here because I believe the BW on HANA Experts have more sensibility how to perform/decide the logic rather than in Presentation Layer (in another way: BO guys keep asking to BW guys to do "this and that" for performance etc...)
1. Let's say, I have Sales order line items 1M record
a) in BW (on HANA), in DSO Level or you can say Infocube Level or ADSO
b) in HANA Analytics View/Calculated view
c) in BW (on HANA) with transient provider using the HAna sales view.
d) in BW ODQ from SLT to ADSO or OpenDSO
I want to present the data in Business Objects (Webi/Analysis)
Q1. Where going to be more faster?
Because once the BEx Query / Query Panel get executed, there is data selected in DB and data to be transferred to app Layer then to BO Layer.
I believe that b) can be more faster (with BEx limitation) but, I would like to understand how to optimize the solution with BW.
Q2. Where the data is refreshed? BO will send a signal to HANA and HANA revert it back to BO and present, or its going to be directly like same platform read and present? Hint.. I'm talking about "cache". Take attention we're talking Line level!
Q3.Lets assume we install the BO App in HANA instance? how it will benefit the performance. Maybe I missed but, the HANA CMC only store Metadata information. Any special license permission?
Q4. When we install BW on HANA. The Application Server is installed in HANA box or we can Install in Windows/Linux? What are the Pro and CO?
Q5. Lets imagine we buy BW on HANA box. "We" start paying to SAP the "real license" once the project is live (production) or since development? (i think this can be general)
Q6. Is there Bw on HAna in cloud for can use it? I seen only hana, for BW only free trial where im not interested.
Q7. We currently have a BW system, which we're thinking to migrate to BW on HANA. But the historic data like 1990 till 2013 we're thinking to put directly in Sybase IQ. How flexible it is? and Each Year we going to push the data N-2 to IQ.
Cheers!!
