I keep getting this error message (see attachment) when I upload a Storyline 360 course. I really need this up and running today! I attached the course because I am desperate, thank you SO much.
We've heard folks run into this exact error before, and it seems to be an LMS-specific issue where some LMSs use a Java API object to load content. Since content created in Articulate does not require Java, these steps should help:
Contact your LMS team to ensure that your installed version of Java is compatible with the LMS version you're using.
Additionally, I ran a test in SCORM Cloud – an industry-standard tool for testing SCORM output – where I'm unable to reproduce this upload error which typically concludes that the issue is related to the LMS. Here's a link to the output.
Hope this helps, and we're here if you have any questions!
I am at my wits end. I have done everything on this list and I am still getting the same error message. I have attached a screenshot of the publishing details. My LMS SME is saying that it is the how the course was created/published (basically blaming 360) and ELH is saying it is my LMS. I am stuck in the middle and my deadline has passed, I am on borrowed time. Please help!! Thank you
Please try for yourself uploading or testing it to SCORM CLOUD and be sure you have the correct SCORM 1.2 package. If you can't replicate the error, then your LMS has the issue.
I tried that too and it did work. Before I go and fight with my LMS would you please review my course publishing choices to ensure that I have chosen the correct options? If I have to go to battle with the SME I want to make sure they cannot continue to blame user error and how I designed the course. Thank you
Try to upload a single slide course into your LMS and see if you will get the same result. By the way, have you created your course from scratch in Storyline or imported from PowerPoint or any other software?
If it's working in SCORM Cloud that's a good sign it's not the file itself, but something with how the LMS is interpreting it. Have you shared that result with your LMS team? They're the best equipped to troubleshoot error messages within the LMS.
I built the course from scratch. I imported the video using Camtasia. I did consult with my LMS team and they are telling me that it is how the course was developed. It is strange, in a previous upload I only uploaded the assessment portion and it worked fine in Chrome (not in IE) but when I added the video portion I have trouble. Any ideas? Thank you
One other idea would be to look at enabling LMS debug mode, to see if you can capture that particular error message (or any) being sent from the LMS. If you do that for your LMS and a version you upload to SCORM Cloud you could even compare the two and showcase to your LMS admin where things went off the rails.
As Katie mentioned at the beginning of this discussion, that error is directly from the LMS, as Articulate does not require Java.
If it's only this video that is causing the trouble, could you look at hosting it on an external site and linking as a web object? Here are directions for adding a web object into Storyline.
OK, so I took out the assessment and only have the video and I am still getting the error message. What did I do wrong? The assessment works separately so it is not that, please assist. I have attached the file. Thank you
I took a look at the original file you shared and it uploaded as expected in SCORM Cloud for me, but I thought it may be helpful for you to try the same .zip file I used successfully.

Hello Again,
I am at my wits end. I have done everything on this list and I am still getting the same error message. I have attached a screenshot of the publishing details.

I think you may have a conflict between the LMS and your SCORM Package.
What is your LMS by the way and what SCORM Package you are using?
Oracle iLearning SCORM is 1.2
I have posted SL courses in iLearning previously so I am even more confused with why this one is not working properly.

Published Course

Were you able to take a look at the debug log with your LMS team? I see that Ashley shared that with you above as well.
