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.

Aggregator V.5 self paced learning not working

. I have 11 individual projects that I have combined into one aggregated file. When I run the aggregated file, the self-paced learning is not working correctly. Here is what I know:
Captivate 5, WIN 7, Chrome browser. Clients choice of Captivate version.
Client is not using a LMS
All 11 projects have the “self-paced learning” checked in the TOC.
I have published all 11 projects and they run fine. I can exit the browser while they are running and restart each project. The box displays, “Continue from where you stopped last time?” and I can either resume or start over.
For each of the 11 projects, here are some settings:
In >File>Publish settings>Project>Start end> Autoloader is checked
In >File>Publish settings>Project>Start end> Autoplay is checked
In >File>Publish> eLearning output=disabled
In >File>Publish>ActionScript Version=AS3
I have republished all individual projects, and also checking the “Force republish all the slides”.
Cleared the browser cache
All 11 individual projects (.swf and .html), the .js file as well as the aggregated file(s) (.swf and .html) are all located in the same folder on my hard drive. They are close to the top of the naming hierarchy.
Client wants to be able to use self-paced learning in the Aggregated files to allow the learner to resume where they left off as well as starting over. I start the aggregated file, let the slides run for a bit and then stop, exiting the browser. I return to the location on my hard drive and click the .html file name. I am returned to the aggregated file at the very beginning and not given the option to start where I left off. I have checked each of the projects persistanceInfo.sol. Among the oddball characters, the wording "don'task" appears, but I am not sure if some of the characters are indicative of the "Don't ask" box being checked or not. I have reviewed each of the projects in the aggregated file. On each and every occasion, when I close and reclick the link, I am presented with the dialog box asking if I want to continue where I left off. Clicking ok allows the project to resume where I left off. Clicking cancel restarts the project at the beginning.
Additionally, I have made sure that the target file location is listed on the Global Flash Security settings as a trusted location.I have uploaded the files to a web server on our company site. Running the file from there provides no additional benefit-I get the same results.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Jim

All slides in the presentation are marked as continue. I have gone
through the first 5 slides and when I refresh the browser or exit out of
Internet Explorer and open the project again it just starts at the
beginning.

working in Captivate 5
Hello Brenda,
How did you check: after uploading to a LMS?
You have to be aware of the fact that a slide will be marked as 'viewed'
only when the playbar has played the whole slide till the end. If you do
pause slides with a click box, button, TEB and attach the action 'Go to
Next slide' or something similar instead of the default action 'Continue'
this will not happen and the slide will not be marked as completed.

Does Self-Paced Learning require the Enable Navigation?

Good morning.
I'm working with multiple Cap4 generated swf files aggregated into one swf/html project incorporating the Self-Paced Learning feature (in the TOC). After I published the project, I opened it & went through a few slides, then closed the project. The Resume feature would not work, so I selected the Enable Navigation feature along with the Self-Paced Learning feature, and now the Resume function works! Is this a bug? Is it possible for me to get the Resume feature to work without enabling Navigation? I have to control the sequence my audience takes in my project, so enabling Navigation is not desirable. Implementing an LMS is not possible in my circumstances.
Captivate 4
AS2
FP10
published (chapter) files= swf/html
published project file= swf/html
LMS=none
Vista Ultimate working (locally) in XP sp2 compatible mode
Project Titles=Project Names, no spaces
Your help & suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hello Astrid,
Too bad that each LMS has different reactions, are you sure it has this functionality. Here only the tips that are clear.
In the LMS Customization settings, check that 'Never send Resume data' is unticked.
You can turn on Self-paced learning in the TOC, but this is not a functionality about transmitting data to the LMS, it will store a cookie on the PC to have the user get back to the place where he left previously.

Self-Paced Learning - Bookmark not working in Captivate 5

I followed the directions of adding a Table of Contents to one of my captivate projects and selecting Self-Paced Learning in order to create a bookmark but this does not work. I have saved it as Adobe Flash 9 and Adobe Flash 10 but I am not getting the message about starting where I left off when either refreshing the browser or exiting and going back in. What am I missing?
Thanks for your time,
Brenda

Self paced learning/quiz/HTML5 issue

Back again! My current project has self paced learning in place. We definitely want the student to be able to return to their last spot if they exit. This works fine throughout the whole course in the swf and html5 versions, until the quiz. The swf version functions correctly in the quiz, and returns you to where you last exited. In html however, if you select "OK" upon relaunch, it takes you to the beginning of the quiz. "CANCEL" takes you to your last (quiz) slide. In both instances, the quiz submit button does not function and you cannot navigate.
I've tried numerous setting and have had zero luck fixing this issue. Any ideas would be appreciated because the client does want to keep self paced learning.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I have a question regarding your post. I have a quiz (created in Captiave 7) and I can not get the quiz to return to where I exited in the swf. How were you able to do that? Are you using an LMS? Are you using the Quiz Results slide? If so, what settings?
I have Self Paced Learning checked (in the TOC Settings) and I have a slide after the Quiz Results slide that closes the project (Project > Start and End > Project End Options: Action: Close Project) and whenever I try to go back in, I go to this slide that automatically closes the project.
On thing I was told on the forum is "Self-paced Learning bookmarking is disabled as soon as you turn on LMS reporting." Again, I'm not sure if you're using an LMS but that was something I did not know.
Thanks,
Peter

TOC Self-Paced Learning

Captivate v5.5
I am trying to test the Self-Paced Learning option on the TOC.
I have created a CBT with a TOC and have selected the Self-Paced Learning option.
I run the project (F4) and stop it after 3 chapters. I look at the TOC and there are the required green ticks on the TOC for the first 3 chapters - all fine so far.
Then I run the project again (F4) but the project starts from slide 1 and the ticks are no longer visible.
Will this option only work once the project has been uploaded to our LMS or am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks in advance,
Noel

Actually, the Self Paced Learning option is of no use at all if you have published your project with settings to report to an LMS. It can only be used when Quiz Settings > Enable Reporting for this Project is deselected.
When publishing for an LMS, Captivate always assumes you will be using Resume Data bookmarking, NOT Self Paced Learning bookmarking.
However, although Resume Data Bookmarking is designed for LMS integration, it does not update the Captivate TOC markers on subsequent user sessions as does Self Paced Learning.
It's one of those nice little Catch 22 situations...

Self-Paced Learning - Two learners on a PC

Hi There,
I just wanted to confirm something with the TOC and self-paced learning.
If two people are sharing a computer and each is taking the same course with self-paced learning turned on - do they share the same cookie and therefore both resume at the same place? Or if they logged into the same computer differently and used the course would there be a Captivate cookie for each separate login?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you - that is what I thought but just wanted to check because I couldn't find it documented anywhere.
Thanks so much!

Self-Paced Learning

Hi,
I would like to remove the pop-up message "Continue from where you stopped last time?"; however, even though I uncheck Self-Paced Learning, it still pops up.
I am using Captivate 7.0
I am NOT publishing to a LMS
I have unchecked the Self-Paced Learning check box
My published files reside on a ftp site
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
If you have unchecked that option then it should not prompt this message.
Can you open your published output in any other browser, may be it is picking that course from browser history or cache, (if you might have published with self-paced checked earlier).
In whcih format have you published the output? .swf or HTML 5?
Have you enabled the reporting in your project?
Thanks.

Self paced learning does not work properly in lms

I made a course and I want learners to go back to the point they last visited when returning.
The page last visited is remembered (It is stored in our database) but it is reset to 0 when the course is opened again.
I've tried al possible combinations in self-paced learning and 'resume data' in the quiz options.
In all combinations the page is remembered but set to 0 when the course is opened again.
What can I do to make sure the course does not reset the 'last page visited'.
I'm using Captivate 5 / and a internal lms we made ourselves.
The quiz reporting settings are:
The reporting option is enabled
Standard AICC
Complete/incomplete
Percent
Quiz results and slide views
Report score

PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM in a single VirtualBox guest machine

Following a suggestion from Jim Marion in an earlier post in this forum, I started installing the PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM using a single VirtualBox guest. The PeopleSoft OVM appliances are delivered as two separate virtual machines, one for the DB and another for the PIA/App-Batch. Since I am running on a 4 GB RAM laptop I wanted to conserve memory by installing on a single virtual machine.
As I was starting to figure out the changes needed in the configuration scripts, for example creating a symbolic link instead of an nfs mount for PS_APP_HOME, I got a surprise. Lo and behold, the good folks at Oracle had already thought of this! In the oraclevm-template.sh there is an environment variable VBOX_SETUP that is set if the script detects the existance of both PS_DB_HOME and PS_HOME. This triggers the installation of all the tiers -- DB, App-Batch, PIA -- on a single machine. With a few tweaks I was able to get a fully functioning HCM environment with a single execution of the setup script.
The starting point for installing PeopleSoft OVMs on VirtualBox is these two blog posts:
[url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/05/converting-peoplesoft-ovm-templates-to.html]
[url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/06/converting-peopletools-ovm-template-to.html]
Since I was only using a single virtual guest I mounted all the file systems at once. Here are the entries (excluding the System images which are only mounted temporarily as explained in Jim's blog posts):
in VirtualBox:
SATA Port 1: Oracle11gR2.vdi (Normal, 4.41 GB)
SATA Port 2: HCMDB.vdi (Normal, 26.38 GB)
SATA Port 3: Tools.vdi (Normal, 11.25 GB)
in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1               /u01                    ext3    defaults        1 3
/dev/sdc1               /opt/oracle/psft/ptdb   ext3    defaults        1 4
/dev/sdd1               /opt/oracle/psft/pt     ext3    defaults        1 5I commented out the ovm_set_password and ovm_configure_network steps in /u01/scripts/db-reconfig.sh since I had manually set up a static IP on my guest. (Note: this script no longer bothers checking for or setting up oracleasm so you don't need to worry about that). I also uncommented the DEBUG_PSFT_OVM variable in the /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template-utils.sh script. Doing this bypasses the root password reset and networking configuration in the oraclevm-template.sh script.
I modified the .bash_profile script for psadm1, psadm2 and psadm3 to use the ORACLE_SID that the setup script discovered based on the contents of $PSFT_DB_HOME/oradata and added $PS_HOME/setup to the PATH for COBOL compiles:
# psft env vars
export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools
export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x
export ORACLE_SID=HR91C323
export TUXDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/bea/tuxedo
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
. /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/psconfig.sh
export PATH=$TUXDIR/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PS_HOME/setup
export LANG=C
export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
export PATH=$PATH:$COBDIR/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$COBDIR/lib(Just a note on the beauty of VirtualBox: I didn't figure out all the above in a single step. But by taking some snapshots of my virtual machine I was able to go back and start over with a minimum of fuss.)
I still had a few errors after I got a clean run of /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template.sh:
<li>The app engine VERSION program failed because it didn't pick up the PS_SERVER_CFG variable. The variable is set in the script so I'm still trying to figure out what happened.
<li>The ovm_dbusers.sql failed on a couple of statements with insufficient privileges. It is run as SYSADM and may need to be run as sysdba.
<li>The ovm_ib.sql script had a unique constraint error on an insert into psibsvcsetup. Since the row already exists this should probably be an update.
These were minor issues that were easily resolved after the instance was up.
I have started making changes to further reduce the footprint of the VM: lower weblogic min/max heap size to 128m, don't start PSAESRV in the batch server, don't start Analytic and Query servers in the app server, lower the sga_target and pga_aggregate_target in the db server, etc.
These PeopleSoft OVM templates are a fantastic way to get started with an up-to-date, well configured PeopleSoft application.

Hi,
To keep all my peoplesoft servers on a virtual environnement i will use Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86_64 (64 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2 template and install on it the peoplesoft CRM. it's a good idea ? Yes, why not.
But you could also want to minimize the number of virtual machines running in your env by adding the CRM database into the existing Peoplesoft OVM database server, check if there is enough space to host this CRM db in addition of the running HR db, if not you could increase the space or add a new disk.
and which files from http://edelivery.oracle.com i should use to install peoplesoft CRM database ?
You'll only need to download PeopleSoft Enterprise Customer Relationship Management 9.1 application, part number V17881-01 from "PeopleSoft Enterprise - Customer Relationship Management 9.1 Media Pack".
sorry for those question i'm still beginner in peoplesoft.No problem, Peoplesoft is not so easy software anyway.
HTH,
Nicolas.

Thierry,
I am curious to know about Fusion. I heard that Oracle Reports and Forms will not be used from R12 onwards. Is it so ?
And anything new that we need to improve ourselves against the Fusion Application ?
Any interesting new features for HRMS in Fusion ?

Peoplesoft HCM Interface with SAP?

We planned to implement the SAP HR module, together with the SAP EAM, SAP SCM and SAP FI in a project that was supposed to Go-Live last year.
The HR Dept was using Peoplesoft HCM previously.
The project never went live and the project has now decided to implement SAP EAM, SCM and FI but retain Peoplesoft HCM in HR.
On which modules in SAP would Peoplesoft HCM normally interface?
Thanks in advance.
