Storyline Suspend Data Compression
Good day!
As some of us know SCORM 1.2 only limits its suspend data for up to 4096 characters. Storyline (360) compresses its data (e.g. SL variables and such) in order to fit the limitations of t...
Thanks a lot David, very brilliant! Have you managed to test it in a production environment?
Uh, yes. We have been using this patch in production for about 6 months now on all of our Articulate-authored courses (both for our courses that are hosted on Cloud Scorm as well as for a number of customer-hosted LMS systems. The customer-hosted LMS systems were the primary instigation for creating this patch since we seem to encounter quite a few of them that either do not support SCORM 2004 (where the suspend_data default size was increased to 32kb) and/or they do not have the ability to override the default size for suspend_data. FWIW, the Rustici SCORM driver does allow configuring/overriding the suspend_data size. However, we have a couple of courses that were resulting in suspend_data sizes exceeding 50kb. After compression. these courses were then saving suspend_data that was just barely under 4k!
