Strange problems with Zip Files in Captivate/SumTotal

Ok, this is a weird one. If I publish a 1.2 SCORM course and select the zip folder option, our (horrible) SumTotal 7.6 system has no problems uploading the course. If I publish to a folder or to my desktop and place all the files in the folder and zip the file, it doesn't track as SCORM at all.
I get the same results on the ADL Test Scorm tracker. When the zip folder is uploaded, it reads as SCORM compliant. When I publish to an upzipped folder and then zip it, I get a ton of XML file not well formed and other xml errors.
The issue is that I need to make changes to the imsmanifest file to remove the SumTotal Navigation Player and resize the screen properly for the course.
The zip program we are using is "ZipGenius".
1.) Has anyone else run into this issue?
2.) Any ideas on how to fix this so that I can make changes to the imsmanifest file and still upload the course as 1.2 SCORM compliant?
Thanks,
Dan

Kevin,
At first, I would have thought the LMS doesn't necessarily return the appropriate information for Captivate to send a score (there are several basic calls that are supposed to be sent by an LMS in SCORM to facilitate this). So, I created a custom HTM file for the Captivate 4 template... But in re-reading the thread - you are using SumTotal and I believe SumTotal does make these calls...
For the purposes of anyone else that is using an LMS and not seeing a score in their LMS (and they are using this custom template) - here is a Captivate 4 template file that forces Captivate to send a score to a SCORM LMS (though not necessarily SCORM-compliant LMS - if these calls are ignored): http://www.learningconsulting.com/Content/Macromedia/Captivate/SumTotal_Captivate4_SCORM_C ustom.zip
Kevin - I do not necessarily believe this custom template will work for you. I can send you an entire debug file I've built for helping to track down AICC/SCORM issues - but let's hold off on that, for now. Can you edit the resulting HTM file of one of your published Captivate file built using the SCORM template I've provided earlier; modify the last line in the method sendTrackingDataToLMS; uncomment out the alert statement (remove the "//"). I'd like to know what is displayed when you close the content window from SumTotal.
Regards,
Andrew

PKGBUILD problem with zip file

Hi all,
I'm trying to build Envy Code R font package. Here is the file:

I tried bsdtar -x -f with normal zip file and zip file with spaced file name and found no problem. Can anybody explain? Thanks,

Certain zip files can't be handled by bsdtar; it is explained in more detail in some of the technical writeups of libarchive which processes all files as streams rather than random-access as the 'unzip' program does.
For zip files that are made in a slightly unorthodox fashion, one can do the following:
1. Add the zip file to the noextract=() PKGBUILD array
2. Add 'unzip' as a makedepend
3. Add as the first lines of your build function:
cd $srcdir
unzip <sourcefile>.zip
4. Continue as normal.

Problem with ZIP file download

I try to download a ZIP file from some URL. Everything goes fine, but I never get the entire content of the file (1.79 MB size).
Here a code snipet:
byte[] data = new byte[conn.getContentLength()];
Object obj = conn.getContent();
java.io.BufferedInputStream bis = (java.io.BufferedInputStream) obj;
bis.read(data);
bis.close();
File f = new File(sPath.toLowerCase());
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
fos.write(data);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

Waas caching problem with zip files

hi,
When we send same zipped file to branches, waas does not cache that file, without zipping waas caches the file. Is there any restrictions for zip file?

Hi Muhammed,
When you say that WAAS is not caching, I guess you mean that the optimization achieved is much lower than without zipping the file. Am I correct?
If that is the case, then, I'm afraid it's the expected behavior. The cause for this is DRE
In general terms, the way DRE works is by caching small chunks of a file. Later on, when these chunks are seen again in the file (either in the same connection or subsequent ones), they will not be transferred through the WAN link and instead, a chunk identifier (very small) will be sent. The problem is that all compression algorithms work in a similar way, removing repeating parts of the file to make it smaller.
The result is that, any file that is encrypted/compressed has almost no repeating patterns in it, and therefore, even though DRE is applied, the reduction ratios are minimal, sometimes even getting to the point of making transfer even slower than without it.
As a general good practice, if you are using WAAS to optimized your data transfers, make sure that the files you are transferring are neither compressed nor encrypted. This way you will get the maximum optimization ratios out of WAAS.
I hope this answers your question

Problem with zipping file with chinese chars

I need to zip a html page which contains some chinese characters, I am able to zip it and create a zip file
but the problem is when i open the zip file and view the html file it displays junk characters instead
of chinese characters
Here is what i am doing
ByteArrayOutputStream bStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
   ZipOutputStream zStream = new ZipOutputStream(bStream);
    ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(htmlFilename);
    zStream.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
    ByteArrayOutputStream dataStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(
                           new OutputStreamWriter(dataStream,"UTF-8"));
writer.write(htmlString); //htmlString is the string which contents the html contents which has chinese char
    writer.close();
zStream.write(dataStream..toByteArray());

And when you view the unzipped file, are you using something that realizes that you encoded your data using UTF-8? My guess is that you are not.

Strange problem with TNSNAMES file

We just rebaselined a new machine with Windows XP sp2, and installed SQL Plus Release 9.0.1.4.0. We configured the sqlnet.ora file and tnsnames.ora file and placed them in the <orahome>\network\admin\ directory.
But when we try to connect to the 8i database, we get the following error message:
ORA-112154: TNS:could not resolve service name.
Now, I know that this usually means that there's something wrong with the tnsnames.ora file. So I double-checked it and it was fine. So I replaced it with tnsnames.ora files from three other working clients. But it still gave the same error message.
Next, I replaced the sqlnet.ora file from working clients, but it still wouldn't work.
Next I added a TNS_ADMIN environment variable pointing to the <orahome>\network\admin\ directory, but still no go.
Next added an ORACLE_HOME environment variable, but no success.
I had another pair of eyes look at this, and they couldn't find anything wrong.
All the clients are on the same network, the database is up and running, and the other clients can connect without a problem. The client that is not working can ping the server where the 8i database resides.
Help! What am I overlooking? Something in the registry? Can this error message appear for something wrong in the database even though the other 3 clients can connect?

Mark,
I don't think there's something wrong with your database.
This seems more of a communication error between the client and the database, are the other clients the same version?
From what I know 10g clients are not compatible with 8i databases.
It's an SID issue I think, can';t remember now.
will lookup and feed back.
regards,
Tony
PS: Try creating the LOCAL entry in the registry and use the SID you are trying to connect, MIGHT help

Strange problem with RandomAcess FIle stream !!!!

In our on going project we have a requirement of locking the files and do some processing on it.
TO achieve this we used new features of JDK 1.4 and attained the locks. We are working on xml files and at present its size is around 390KB. After doing all activity when we try to write the file back to filesystem using 'RandomAccessFile' it does not write the full file. Next time it starts generating parsing errors.
Due to this we are stuck up and donot know why this is happening. We tried doing the same with 'FileOutput'stream and it works fine. But our requirement is to do all the activity with RandomAccess only.
Any help on the above will be highly appreciated.
THanks in advance
Arvind

Below given is how I am reading the file
raf = new RandomAccessFile("xfiles/lkups/analyser1.xml", "rws");
     if(raf!=null)
     channel = raf.getChannel();
     lock = channel.lock(); //Lock the file
     System.out.println("Got Lock !!");
After doing the required processing on the file, the complete xml file resides in 'buffer' (stringBuffer). This is how I am writing it to the stream. (The same stuff works fine with FileOutputStream)
raf.seek(0);
ByteBuffer bBuff=ByteBuffer.wrap(buffer.toString().getBytes());
channel.write(bBuff);
channel.close();
System.out.println(" read channel closed");
raf.close();
After lot of debugging this had been found that the problem is arising at the time of writing the file. The buffer contains the right parsable xml file.

Strange problem with local files

I'm having some experiences with my DW CS3 local
files that aren't serious ... although annoying. Perhaps there is
something I'm not seeing. One is that the local files are now
appearing randomly (not by naming convention as they should). I
can't figure out how they are sorting ... if they are at all.
Refresh doesn't fix it. The other is that when I open a sub-folder,
it opens ... but so do other sub-folders in the site at the same
time. Any clues or fixes would be appreciated. DW CS3 on my laptop
works fine ... perhaps I inadvertently changed some setting
somewhere on my desktop? Thanks!

Expand Files panel. Click on a header for the file list. The
files will
sort by that header.

Problem in ZIP file encryption

Hi Folks,
I am facing a problem while encrypting and decrypting a ZIP file. The result file is corrupted.
If i encrypt .txt and .doc files, i am able to get them in decryption. But problem with ZIP files. What could be the reasone?
I am using AES algorithem.
Key Generator code is:
================
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
kgen.init(128); //128 bitskey = kgen.generateKey();
Encryption:
========
Cipher ecipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
//paramSpec is a Initialization Vector
ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey, paramSpec);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("c:\\encryption\\Source.zip");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("c:\\cipher\\cipher.enc");
OutputStream cout = new CipherOutputStream(out, ecipher);
int numRead = 0;
while ((numRead = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
cout.write(buf, 0, numRead);
Decryption:
========
Cipher dcipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
dcipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skey, paramSpec);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("c:\\cipher\\cipher.enc");
InputStream in = new CipherInputStream(fis, dcipher);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c:\\encryption\\Result.zip");
int numRead = 0;
while ((numRead = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
fos.write(buf, 0, numRead);
}

Strange problem with linking to external vob-file

I have a strange problem with linking to external vob-file. I
have created a link using BudApi:
on mouseup
set OK = baOpenFile ( the pathname &
"Files\General\Video\VTS_01_1.VOB", "normal")
end
This code opens mpg-videos correctly, but nothing happens
when I try to open vob-files with the same code. The strangest
thing is that when I change the default program for vob-files to
WinDVD this code works and the file opens, but when I change the
default program to Nero Showtime this code doesn't do anything
(when I open the file 'manually' from the folder, it opens
correctly on Nero Showtime). My client uses Nero Showtime, so I
really would appreciate any help on this one.

If you open a command prompt, do you get an association
listed like this
example for .txt files:
C:\>assoc .txt
.txt=txtfile
C:\>ftype txtfile
txtfile="D:\Program Files\JGsoft\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe"

I receive many e-mails with zipped files. I can no longer open or unzip my files. A window welcoming me to Application Loader drops down. It prompts for an iTunes Connect login, but will no accept my iTunes login. I have no way to open or unzip my files. Help!!!!

Application Loader, unless there's another one I'm not familiar with, is part of the iOS SDK. That have usurped the .zip, or you may have removed that application but your Mac is still holding onto the mapping of Zip files to that application. Select a .zip file in Finder, Get Info, and go to the Open with section. Select Archive Utility and click Change All. That should fix the problem.

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Acrobat version: 10.1.1
System info: Windows 7 64 bit

Strange problem with Subviews on 1.0 Beta

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with SubViews on 1.0 Beta. I'm not sure If I'm being stupid and have done something wrong, or if there's a problem here.
My application is directly based on one of the examples, so the structure etc is almost identical. I've simplified the files below to avoid confusing the issue.
The default landing page (greeting.jsp) looks like this:
<%@ taglib declarations for HTML and CORE taglibs %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><title>Insulation Layer Demo</title></HEAD>
<body bgcolor="white">
<f:view>
<jsp:include page="sysstatus.jsp" />

</f:view>
</body>
</HTML>
sysstatus.jsp looks like this:
<%@ taglib declarations for HTML and CORE taglibs %>
<f:subview id="SystemStatusView">
<h:form id="systemStatusForm">
<h:selectboolean_checkbox id="System1Available" value="#{SystemStatus.system1Available}"/>System 1 
<h:selectboolean_checkbox id="System2Available" value="#{SystemStatus.system2Available}"/>System 2
<h:command_button id="submit" action="success" value="submit" />
</h:form>
</f:subview>When I view this page, the checkboxes all seem to work okay (in that their state is preserved across calls etc), but the formatting is very screwy. The resulting page looks something like:
<chkbox1> <chkbox2> <Submit>
System 1
System 2
<Other HTML content from greeting.jsp>When I look at the HTML source code being generated, it is genuinly being generated as above, that is, all the form tags first, and then the rest of the content. Interestinly, I tried adding a ${SystemStatus.system2Available} into the body text, and it was rendered as literal text (i.e. not evaluated as EL), which is very curious -- makes me wonder if the included file is included as text, rather than JSP, although the custom taglibs and <f:form> tags etc are not in the generated HTML.
If I lift all the content between the <h:form> tags (inclusive) out of sysstatus.jsp and put it in greeting.jsp in place of the <jsp:include> tag, all is well.
Any ideas? All help gratefully recieved!
Thanks,
Paul

Personally, I think it is a bug in the rendering model of JSF itself because if you include any non-JSF tags, they don't get rendered according to my understanding of the what the spec says (in the location the tags are written).
The only workaround that I could come up with is to use straight JSF tags in all of your layers. Things are then rendered the way that they "should" be rendered.
You could try wrapping all of your HTML tags in <f:verbatim> tags and see if that helps.
Good luck!

Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:
http://aoimedia.co.uk/news/news.html
Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

Hope that helps.

Strange problem with SQL query in toad.

Guys,
My colleague is up with a strange problem with an SQL query that if it is run in toad encounters the "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel" problem,but if run in SQL plus executes just fine.
Do anyone have thoughts about this strange error in toad?
Thanks!!!!
Regards,

Not sure what version of TOAD you have but it may have shipped with SQLMonitor which montiors SQL sent from Windows apps . Navigation should be similar to;
Start~Programs~Quest Software~TOAD for Oracle~Tools~SQLMonitor
or
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\SQLMonitor.exe
To use it, start TOAD and connect, start SQLMonitor and click the checkbox for TOAD.exe, then execute the query. SQLMonitor will show you the actual query that TOAD sent to the client. It may be exactly what you sent or it may contain some extras.
