Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!
I thought I would start a thread about Cornerstone on Demand so there's a central place for people to read and add to. There seems to be a dearth of information about how CSOD and Storyline interac...
After the October 2017 CSOD update, I would no longer recommend deleting your course files before attempting to update your course files. It appears that Cornerstone has tightened up what they will allow to be uploaded as an "Update" to a course. In fact, since the update I have tried to update 3 courses and have gotten errors every time, leaving the only option to Reversion the course. Are you all seeing the same thing?
I have also been having troubles with the content uploader. Here is some testing I habe done:
Deleted word and tried to modify content (replace) got status (uploaded with errors). Appears that the replace did go through even though it stated there were errors.
I moved slide and modified some text. Tried to modify content (replace) got status (uploaded with errors). Through refreshing something happened and I modified using the same ZIP file and it uploaded with no error? Not an immediate update. I believe the cache delay still applies. Maybe took 2 hours? I would give it four if the change doesn’t show up immediately since that was what old documentation stated.
I tried another reversion and processed much quicker. The retraining did show up on my transcript after for a period of time (time unknown as it hadn’t posted after 1.5 hours when I left and it was on my transcript this morning)
I did additional testing the week prior to the above and had a lot more trouble getting critical errors for minor changes that would not allow update and a reversioning that never finished processing. I'm hoping that was just due to all the updates over the weekend interfering with Stage.
We received confirmation from CSOD that there are some new constraints applied to the old/existing Course Publisher. The expected requirements of an identical imsmanifest.xml and File Structure are required in order to Replace the Publication Files.
To which some enterprising LMS admins have found that by simply replacing the imsmanifest file in the zip file with the original one uploaded, or just leaving it out completely, avoids the error.
Thanks for the work-around. We were able to update the course by ensuring the file order was the same as the original upload along with deleting the manifest file.
This is by far one of the stupidest cornerstone updates to date.
