Hello David!
Sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with this. I have seen this error mentioned in the forums and they were able to stop that error from appearing when disabling the option within Player > Other > Launch Play in new window (creates launch page), which lets the player stay in the same window.
It sounds like your course is launching as expected though, since you mention seeing this at the end of your course.
Are you able to recreate this issue in SCORM Cloud or is it limited to your LMS?
If you are able to replicate, we would certainly want to take a look at that .story file.
Hello Leslie
I have also encountered the error that David has posted above when using SCORM 2004 published courses on SuccessFactors (SF) LMS.
As SF does not support reporting for SCORM 1.2 courses, SCORM 2004 is required to be used in order to report on user answers. The error message that David posted only appears upon completion of the course but the completion is sent back to the LMS and is reportable. However, the user experience can be confusing with the error message that appears.
All the courses I have created have disabled the Launch Player in new window option but still receive the error message upon completion of any SCORM 2004 published courses.
I tried using the SCORM cloud but no errors appear there.
I have attached a short SCORM 2004 course which prompts the error upon completion with the SF LMS but has no such errors when using the SCORM cloud.
Any help would be gratefully received!
Stuart
Hi Stuart! Thanks for reaching out and letting us know the testing that you have done thus far.
I did not hear back from David as you can see, so I do not have an update to share with you on his findings.
You mention that you tested in SCORM Cloud and did not get any errors. That seems to indicate that the issue lies within your LMS.
Have you reached out to Success Factors to understand why you may be seeing this error message?
Hello Leslie
I reached out to SuccessFactors who have replied that the error is caused on the content side. What is happening the that when the user has completed the content, the content marks as completed and then terminates the connection with the LMS. However, the content then tries to communicate with the LMS again upon closing the content window and this causes the error because the content has already terminated the connection with the LMS.
The advice is that the content should be terminating the connection with the LMS when the user completes the training and not when the training window is closed.
I am not sure how I might do this, do you have any suggestions here perhaps?
Thank you for the details Stuart. I have seen other reports from SuccessFactors customers as well. I invite you to check out this thread and see if the advice shared there may be of assistance to you.
Hi Leslie
Unfortunately I'm not sure that thread contains the information I need. The thread is about completion results not returning to the LMS but that is actually happening in my case.
The issue I have is with the error message shown upon completion (details are all above) and I have been told by SuccessFactors that I need to change when the content terminates the connection to the LMS.
Do you know where I might be able to change this information (and what needs to be added/deleted) so the content terminates the connection to the LMS upon completion of the training rather than when the window is closed?
Unfortunately there isn't something we can suggest to change that, perhaps SuccessFactors could share where to make those changes in the published output? Or someone in the community may be able to weigh in.
Best of luck and let us know if you need anything else with your project!
Has there been any update on this issue? We're running into the exact same problem with SCORM 2004 on SF. Storyline is sending terminate and then it sends initialize which results in an error. I can't use SCORM 1.2 as the bookmark isn't big enough (posted in a separate thread about some very inefficient compression of button state names in the SL bookmark that causes it to go over 4000chars).
Hi Sublime Media,
Sorry you're having trouble in SuccessFactors. Have you tried publishing with AICC, as this community member suggests?
Also, have you tested the output in SCORM Cloud to compare how it behaves there?
We haven't tried AICC yet, but that's next. The AICC spec limits suspend data to the same 4000 chars that hurts us in SCORM 1.2 but I've seen on the forums that Storyline doesn't enforce the limit because some LMSs don't enforce it either.
We have tested in SCORM Cloud and it seems to behave fine, though I'm going to have a closer look at the logs to see if the same thing is happening.
