Remembering progress, capturing resume data without scorm

Hi All, I have searched the forum and cannot find a fix for our specific needs, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction...
Task: Remembering student progress to continue from where they left off
Hurdles:
We do not use scorm, and we use our own LMS. The problem we have at the moment is our courses are split into modules, at the end of each module we have an advanced action that points to a page that then logs the module as complete on our system and it allows them to continue from the next module once they log in.
We want to switch this to remember each slide, just like other mainstream LMS do. Initially we thought about looking for the 'resume data' captivate sends out but we have had no luck. We don't use a TOC either. Is there any data that captivate sends out (ideally in the html5 version) that we can capture to use as a unique ID for that slide?
OR
Is there something else we can explore to try and get this feature added?
Come on captivate gurus!

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
We do not use any standard for LMS, we publish to html and flash and we do not use Quiz's to score, we use quiz slides just as interactions to keep the user engaged and have our own test at the end of the courses.
It is uploaded to an LMS created by our techie which is basically a system that 'plays' the published files in an iframe window or something similar. After each module the last slide has a continue button which points to a 'Congratulations' page which then logs that the user has completed the module and that is where they start from if they log out and return.
So we have say 20-40 slides in each module, and we have a system that remembers each module that is not reliant on captivate in any way.
It is driving us mad with problems and invonveniance for our learners - when things go wrong they have to re-sit the whole module. We have looked into getting a better LMS but it is very tricky as we have a complete custom built system that runs everything for the business and this taps in to that.
After my own research I have found that the key to other LMS remembering individual slides is in the 'send resume data' field, is that right? I was hoping we could find out where it sends that data too, or where it could be picked up from and then get our techie team to grab it just like any other LMS would.
At the moment a lot of the problems are being blamed on long modules, some of which are only 20 slides, the most being 45, which I do not see as a problem personally. It is a shame because captivate is such a lovely platform and this is not doing it justice at all.
If I can point them in the right direction in terms of capturing this slide by slide continue data using info sent out from captivate, it might not fix all of the problems but it will mean trainees will only lose the time of 1 slide as opposed to 30.

How can I capture scoring data without a LMS?

Hi
I'm building some basic tests and quizzes for a client and need to understand what my options are for capturing the results. I'm not yet on a LMS and would be fine with simply collecting the raw data if that's my only option. Does anyone know how to do this? Almost all of my content will be published to and run from a web page over http.
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Hi Rich,
Greetings from Adobe.
If you are not using any LMS then you can go for Acrobat.com reporting but it will require all your users to have an Adobe ID. You can also go for Internal Server Reporting if your users are within the same Network . To pull up the reporting in both the above scenarios you can use Captivate Quiz Result Analyzer that comes with Captivate free. Please go to the below links for more details on this:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WS365a66ad37c9f510-326cdb51265c9c0730-8000. html

Does MB5L capture the data if goods movement without accounting document

Dear Guru,
Can you please advice me if the transaction MB5L capture the data for those goods movement without accounting document?
Thanks and Regards,

Since MB5L captures based on the material and valuation area, still you can see the postings that has been made non-valuated.

Completion Data and Resume Data

Again, it seems there is yet another Completion Data and Resume Data question... sorry.
My issue is that completion data isn't always being sent from my SCORM material to my LMS. I know there is a setting to set the completion data at X percent, but even then I would like to have something a bit more trusting on it. Is there a way (and I'm no developer/program/IT guy so please help in detail) to make so that on X slide that completion data is forced to be sent?
This also plays into my next question: is there a way to force resume data on every page, every load? The bookmark feature is nice thank you Adobe staff for adding that, but its reliability for what my company is using is questionable at best. If there is no progress made within the lesson the resume data after having used it once isn't sent again - I need this to be sent on every slide upon entering or even better at a preset time on the slide, and always be sent regardless of number of accesses. Is this possible? It would solve a whole host of problems one being that we need to have the test scores entered into our LMS after a successful completion, and then have the slide fade out so the user cannot re-access, redo, copy, etc the quizzes.
Thank you for the help,
-Joseph

I can't really help you with most of your questions, but I can confirm that a slide needs to be viewed 100% from start to end of the timeline before Captivate treats it as "read/viewed". It's the same problem when you are using the TOC - it will not get the check mark until the slide has played from A-Z, which is really annoying.

ALV Grid - capturing the data of checked records

Re-Randomizing questions when resume data is on?

Hi there,
I suspect I might know the answer I get for this but its worth an ask anyway.
Is there a way of re-randomizing questions when taking a course with resume data on?
I've been getting into the nitty gritty of captivate with the functions it sends and I have found the ones for randomizing the questions but I can't run them without knowing the correct parameters (all the variables have confusing names such as gqs, pqs and so on)
I talked to Adobe support in regards this and was told that custom scripts were not supported and I would have to pay extra for a Dev support contract if I wanted a (I assume) software developers take on things which I think is a bit unfair considering having randomized questions really should be a basic feature of a course authoring software.
I was also looking at having resume data turned off in captivate and sending out my own which would track the viewed section variables along with the current page and then having a script for captivate jump to the required page once the course was opened.
Anyone have any experience with using your own resume data or any other ideas?
Cheers

Ok: This is what I understood: You do not want to Display a whole column of 0's (for Feb) but you want the user to be aware that there were 0 deliveries for feb.
So if you run the report for a Calmonth Range of 01.2006 to 06.2006, then just after the Free Chars in the report, you should see a row like Cal/Year Month Jan 2006..June 2006. This shows that the report was run for Jan to June range and the results show months Jan, March, April, May, June implying that there is no data for Feb.

How can I grant users the ability to pause/resume printing without a "print operators group" password.

Greetings,
We are running 10.8.5 on 30 machines in an active directory environment (graphics lab). The clients are experiencing a persistant error when pausing or resuming print jobs. Each time something is paused, it requires an administrator password to resume the job. Administrators are not always present so designers are locked out of all of the printers until we come in (or remote in) to authenticate.
I spoke with Apple today and they said they would not support active directory accounts and that the account must be edited by the department that created the account because the restrictions come from the Active Directory account preferences.
On the other hand, I ALSO read that I can edit this in the CUPS interface or modify it with the terminal command below, locally.
dseditgroup -o edit -u admin_name -p -a user_name -t user _lpadmin
"dseditgroup" adds the user_name to a group (in this case, _lpadmin).
And admin_name is the name of your administrator's account.
a) Must this be modified on the Active directory account or CAN I modify this on the local machine via CUPS or terminal?
b) If so, how would I grant users the ability to resume printing without an admin password?
c) If not, exactly what must be modified in the active Directory account to allow pause/resume without an admin password.
I have seen a terminal command that adds users to the print operatiors group (Ipadmin) and I have seen some info on editing the CUPS interface, If i must edit the CUPS interface to allow this, can anyone point to detailed instructions on how to make this change.
I also saw info on editing the CUPS interface but the suggestion lacked details as to how and how to return to default if it does not work.
I also saw a post with these suggestions below but without detail as to how one would carry this out.

Hello again. For AD environments you can run the following command on each workstation:
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u localadmin -p -a "Domain Users" -t group _lpadmin
This command assumes you are typing this interactively on the machine. Obviously change localadmin to the Mac's local admin's name. When running you will be prompted for password twice. Once to elevate permissions (sudo) and once to validate you are localadmin.
If you are using Apple Remote Desktop (or JAMF or other management suite), you can push this command out while embedding the localadmin's password.
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u localadmin -P yourpass -a "Domain Users" -t group _lpadmin
Please note, if your password uses special characters (/-\) this may fail over ARD.
In Mavericks, AD groups are cached once they are referenced. If you are dealing with a lot mobile users (laptops) you might want to replace Domain Users with everyone

How to capture the data that the user modified in SM30(Maintenance view)

Hello experts,
I have a new requirement wherein when the user modifies a particular record in SM30(maintenance view)
it would also update that certain records in another table. For example, I modified the address
of record 1 in table1 so I need to automatically update that same record in table2. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thank you guys and have a nice day!

Hi again,
1. But how can I capture the data that was modified
Yes, u are right.
We will have to use the event,
'BEFORE SAVING'.
2. In that,
u must fire a select query,
   from the same table,
   for the same record.
3. In this, u will get the OLD DATA (which was already saved),
4. Using this,u can compare,
   (either thru LOOP, or field by field)
to know, which field value has been changed.
regards,
amit m.

How to capture the data from a JSP form

Enter Table name to be created in data base: The table name is to be captured by a servlet and by that table name, table should be created in the data base.

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

What if i load transaction data without loading master data

Hello experts,
What are the consequences if i load transaction data without loading master data?Are there any other factors except the load performance because of SID generations etc and inconsistencies.
<b>What kind of potential inconsistencies will occur?</b>
Problem here is:
when the transaction load starts a new master data such as employee(x) would be have been created in R/3 which does not exist in BW and hence transaction load fails.
Thanks and Regards
Uma Srinivasa rao

Hi Rao,
In case you load the master data after loading the transcation data and if there is any look up at the master data in teh update rules, then you can delete and reconstruct the requests in the ODS/Cube so that the latest master data is pulled in in the data target.
Make sure you do the Apply hier/attr change before doing the delete and reconstruct.
Bye

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

Wipe hard drive data without access to screen

I want to permanently wipe out all data on my hard drive. The problem is that my video card has crashed/burned down, so I don't have access to the screen. Is there a way of wiping out all data without physically removing the hard drive?

Do you have access to another Mac? If so mount your blind Mac to it in the Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Now you'll see the drive on the other Mac's screen and can run Disk Utility to reformat/repartition the drive.
