Publishing in AICC
Nov 08, 2012

We are looking to host our own content on an internal server. I am publishing the files in AICC, the course loads to our LMS (Cornerstone Ondemand) and will launch however it has three non severe errors. When the file is published it is not generating three files ORT, PRE, or CMP. I believe this is why the course will not let a user pick up where they left off when you leave mid course. Can someone please give me some advice.
Thanks!

Hi Johana. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
The first thing you may want to do is test the content in SCORM Cloud. You can do this with the AICC content, but there are some additional steps you'll need to take. This knowledge base article explains how.
Also, take a look at this article, which outlines common issues pertaining to viewing and tracking content in an LMS. You'll also find a section toward the bottom that explains how to test in SCORM Cloud.
I believe, if I remember this right, the ORT, PRE and CMP files are not generated or used a lot of the time by programs like Storyline. They're considered optional, whereas the AU, DES, CST, and CRS files are always needed.
Here's a recent thread that may help you on how bookmarking works: http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/19657.aspx
Bookmark info is sent via the AICC putParam command, using the suspend data fields in AICC Core Lesson group to store the bookmark and resume data.
Thanks! I still cannot figure it out. I am trying to look at the AICCfunction js file but it is foreign to me. I submitted a case but haven't gotten a response yet. Can anyone give me more specific direction or something else to look for?
Thanks again!
Do AICC Storyline files usually bookmark to let you pick up where you left off in a module?
Yes, if you have resume turned on, either optional (and the learner has to select correctly when prompted at re-launch) or forced.

I have it turned on, for the user to be prompted at re-launch. But when the course runs on the scorm cloud or my lms it doesn't prompt them. Any Advice?
Thanks!
Could you post your story file?
This is the zip file. Thanks!
Thanks!
I tested this in a Saba LMS and the bookmarking worked just fine. I got prompted to resume and when I choose to do so, I was returned to the slide that I had previously exited on.
Might be time to start looking at the LMS and to see how they (of if) support variable data being sent to it by content.
Thanks for all of your help! I have a case submitted to Cornerstone but they had to escalate it to engineers and I haven' t heard back.
Thank you!!!

NP -- be sure to come back and report on what the issue turned out to be. May help someone else.
Will do
Just curious; was this resolved? How?
