completion issue on Sumtotal

[Hemant Agarwal]

Hello
I am using AS3 wrapper to send quiz score and status to Sumtotal LMS
The score goes ok but not the status... below is the code snippet from flash file

-> Passing Score :

    Scorm_connect.success = Scorm_connect.scorm.set("cmi.core.score.raw", "40");

--> Status :

    Scorm_connect.success = Scorm_connect.scorm.set("cmi.core.lesson_status","completed");           

--> Pass & Failed :
                           
    Scorm_connect.success = Scorm_connect.scorm.set("cmi.core.lesson_status","passed");   
    Scorm_connect.success = Scorm_connect.scorm.set("cmi.core.lesson_status","failed");   

Do let me know what can cause the issue

thanks

MOLOKO <mlea...@gmail.com> Nov 08 09:42AM -0800  

After many years experience with SCORM 1.2 this is my first time coming to
SCORM 2004 and unsurprisingly have encountered an issue or two!
 
The first time I run the course, I'm getting a 403 errors when trying to
get cmi.suspend_data and cmi.location... is that as expected?
 
Looking through the (somewhat impenetrable) documentation this does seem to
be implied for cmi.suspend_data ("If the SCO has not set the value prior to
the get request, then the LMS shall set the error code to 403") but I'm not
so sure about cmi.location and why that's returning 403.
 
Any thoughts? The relevant bit debug output from Moodle is below... Am
using the pipwerks SCORM JS BTW.

The logs look fine to me.
 
Both cmi.location and cmi.suspend_data get their data from the SCO; if
you've never performed a setvalue on those fields, whenever you do a
getvalue you will get a 'not initialized' error, which is what you see in
the logs. As you said, you see the errors "the first time [you] run the
course".

Ah OK cool, thanks for that.
 
At the moment I have the code set to pop up an error and go into "WTF
happened?!" mode whenever any kind of error is received, clearly I will
need to tune that down a notch for SCORM 2004... or perhaps amend it so
that it doesn't bother get()ing cmi.location or cmi.suspend_data when
lesson status is 'not started'.
 
Are there any other fields that would behave like this?

It's not really clear what 'Scorm_connect' is from your code.

Assuming you earlier instantiated the AS3 wrapper via:

var scorm:SCORM = new SCORM();

and then initialised the connection via:

scorm.connect();

Then you would send a score of 90 and mark the course as passed using:

scorm.set("cmi.core.score.raw", "90");
scorm.set("cmi.core.lesson_status", "passed");

At that point, I'd also recommend doing:

scorm.save()

And obviously when the course is about to close, you'll need to do:

scorm.disconnect()

Although I think it's best to handle the whole LMSFinish/Terminate thing using JavaScript functions attached to the containing page's onunload event just in case the user decides to just close the browser window.

BTW I'm assuming from the field names you're using that you're tracking to SCORM 1.2. If not, then you're using the wrong field names!
