Error Message 769

Hi Maurine!

Do you experience the same error if the course is uploaded to SCORM Cloud or is this limited to the LMS?

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for responding. I just uploaded the course on Scorm cloud and it worked just fine.

The LMS support provided the following response which doesn't make sense to me. What is a suspend data variable?:

We have examined the course settings and the SCORM package. The issue you are experiencing is due to the fact that the SCORM’s cmi.suspend_data variable (what allows the SCORM to track course data, by stocking said data after each user attempt) can only allow 4,096 bytes. However, it is receiving more data than that, which creates the error messages you are seeing past a users’ first attempt.

 This issue is inherent to the SCORM package itself. Without your SCORM provider modifying it to solve this issue, the SCORM will behave unpredictably and throw error messages to users

Thank you for your help Leslie

Hi Maurine,

It sounds like you're hitting the SCORM Suspend data limit which is described here. The ways around this would be to look at implementing one of the following methods:

• Disable the resume feature in Storyline.
• Reduce the number of slides until the resume feature works as expected. The limit will vary, depending on a variety of factors. You'll need to test your content in your LMS to verify.
• Republish your course for SCORM 2004 3rd Edition or 4th Edition, both of which support much longer suspend data.

For the latter, you'd want to confirm that your LMS supports those SCORM outputs before republishing and sending to them.

Thanks so mush Ashley,

I will try to implement these, hopefully it resolves the issue. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again

Hi Ashley,

The number of slides couldn't be reduced due to the content. And so the first solution was implemented ; the resume feature was disabled. Well, it didn't work and the issue still persists.

Is there anything else i can try? 

Thanks so much,

HI Maurine, 

I'd have to defer to your LMS team for further investigation then, as you also mentioned it worked on SCORM Cloud so perhaps they're seeing that error in connection to something else? Or you're still hitting the data limit - can you use one of the other SCORM options? Such as SCORM 2004 edition? 

Thanks Ashley,

I just did and hopefully can find a solution to this. Im not sure we can use the scorm options .Im also open to trying that.

Thanks again
