I know this is a hot topic and it seems from all the other threads that there is still no answer. I have published a Rise course for the LMS. I load the files to SAP I-contnent. I look in the folder for a launch file but I do not see one in the root folder. All the threads have stated to use the Indexapi.html file that is located in the Scormdriver folder. I used this file but, when I launch the course in SAP SuccessFactors I get a blank screen using IE11 and nothing happens when click start course in Chrome. Has this been looked at by support and if so what is the correct launch file. this has nothing to do with compatibility mode.
Problem solved! I was launching the course using the incorrect html file. In SuccessFactors learning, the launch URL for the content object must point to "\scormdriver\indexAPI.html", not "\scormcontent\index.html". Please circulate this. Thanks!
It certainly sounds like you're doing it right.
Are you able to replicate an issue in SCORM Cloud?
We did this and course plays but we have other issues..
We are having completion issues with our Rise content in Successfactors LMS. For some users it marks complete but for some it does not, even if all chapters show as completed.
Is anyone else having these issues? What do you think could be the issue here?
The exit course button may help as it would give users a way to "properly" close the course - some LMSs may work better with that than just closing out the browser window. It's worth giving it a try in SuccessFactors to see if it works better.
I'd also ask your learners what browser they're using to view the courses. They'll want to use one of the Rise supported browsers.
Hi folks! If you're using SuccessFactors, here's some important information about uploading your Rise course. We heard that some of you were being prompted to identify the launch file, so we reached out to SuccessFactors. Here's what they said:
They are not required to pick which file they is set up as the launch file as long as the use the import tool which is available under Content>Tools>Import Content.
They may need to configuration a deployment location if they want to deploy the content files directly to the server.
Sorry this is incorrect. The import method you mention is a legacy import method that does not work anymore. You now have to have the course loaded to IContent (a SAP server) or an internal server. When you load with iContent, or an internal server you MUST know what the Launch file is for ANY elearning course. This is for all Storyline, Presenter, Rise, Captivate courses. I know the launch file for storyline and presenter, which is index.lms.html and the file is in the root Zip folder. I still need to know what the launch file is for RISE.
Thanks Ashley, we are testing the "exit course" option now and initial tests have shown that it seems to do the trick. But we are planning to allow some time and more users to verify this.
Another thing, we noticed that when users, after closing the Rise content browser window, clicked on the "Return to content structure" or the "back" in the Successfactors LMS browser window, then the completion seems to record in the LMS. Again, this is something we are verifying with more users just to confirm.
We've had some issues. Such as occasional reliability of recording completions, but that may be a combination of API communication drops (lots of WiFi on the go here) along with your standard complement of PEBKAC errors. We're using a Storyline block to track completion. It has worked for me every time I've tested it, and my colleagues have tested it without issue, but we're in optimal conditions (wired LAN, constantly updated machines/browsers, tech savvy users, etc.)
Currently the SuccessFactors LMS unable record Bookmarking and user completion when we use Chrome Browser version 83.0. Is there a fix for Rise and Storyline application? so that this should communicate with LMS both Synchronous and asynchronously ?
Hi there, SibaPrasad. Some users were seeing similar issues with other LMSs and offered this information.
I would check if your content resumes and reports completion properly at SCORM Cloud. We're happy to help with that process if you'd like to open a case. If it does resume and report correctly, please ask if SuccessFactors is working on any changes to support bookmarking and completion in the latest version of Chrome.
We have muliple rise courses uploaded into Success Factors. For some modules, there are no issues. For other modules, in 10% of cases the users are not able to complete the course. There are quizzes throughout the courses and when the user completes the final quiz and clicks the final section of the course to exit the module they get bumped to the first quiz and are unable to complete the course.
We have packaged the modules all the same way and so I am wondering if there are best practices for Articulate to Success Factors. I have spoken to the Articulate support engineers, and the module works successfully in SCORM cloud but still we haven't found a solution. I am wondering if anyone has any other advice or suggestions on possible settings or resources I could further research/try?
Thanks so much for sending an update to Georvy! You're in good hands, and we'll do all we can to help you sort this out. You'll hear back from Georvy soon!
Hi Curtis! If you’re uploading your Rise course to SuccessFactors, the launch URL for the content object must point to the scormdriver\indexAPI.html file. You also need to use the import tool, which is available under Content>Tools>Import Content.
1. When I click "Exit Course", I do not get completion in SAP SuccessFactors. I have ensured that the Content URL points to scormdriver/indexAPI.html. If it matters, we use FileZilla to load our courses into the LMS.
2. What needs to go in Mobile Filename, for the course to work on mobile? Typically, we have /index_lms_html5.html, but is it different like the Content URL?

Hi Eric,
Looks like I just responded to a similar post here.
Based on another users post:

Ananda did you use the scormdriver\indexAPI.html as the launch file? What was the file you used as the launch file?
Yes the launch file I used is scormdriver\indexAPI.html
Would it help if I used an exit course button?

Will share what we find out..
Thanks Ananda, and please keep us posted. I know there are a few SuccessFactors users here in ELH, so the more info the better! 🙂
I think it depends on your configuration. We use the import tool with no issue.
Another SuccessFactors LMS user here, I can confirm that using indexAPI.html in the scormdriver folder as the launch file works to track completions!
Glen, have you run into any issues since posting? Thanks for the info.

How would I go about changing the launch URL for the content object in the exported Rise Scorm files?
Hi Curtis! If you’re uploading your Rise course to SuccessFactors, the launch URL for the content object must point to the scormdriver\indexAPI.html file. You also need to use the import tool, which is available under Content>Tools>Import Content.
Here’s an article from the SuccessFactors help site that you might find helpful.

Hi @Lea, we are facing the same problem with one of our clients.
We have tried:
1) Exit course button
2) Launch url to point to scormdriver\indexAPI.html
They don't work. Course completion is not recorded.
We've been trying to solve this for 2 months and our client is running out of patience.
Please help!
Hi Alejandro. We're going to reach out to you directly to continue working with you. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi All,
I'm having two issues!
1. When I click "Exit Course", I do not get completion in SAP SuccessFactors. I have ensured that the Content URL points to scormdriver/indexAPI.html. If it matters, we use FileZilla to load our courses into the LMS.
2. What needs to go in Mobile Filename, for the course to work on mobile? Typically, we have /index_lms_html5.html, but is it different like the Content URL?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi Felix,
Does SAP SuccessFactors not have a SCORM import utility?
A typical LMS will import a SCORM ZIP file, and put all the files in the correct places.
