How to Install Non-Java (JSP) SCORM Adapter (Doc ID 1631724.1)

Purpose

Oracle Learning Management provides two separate CMI adapters one for SCORM 1.2 and one for SCORM 2004 specifications to play SCORM content online. Currently, OLM provides Java based applet adapters which require JRE on each learner’s machine. For Java based applet adapters, see: Oracle SCORM Adapter for Oracle Learning Management

The applet based adapter might behave differently when learners upgrade or downgrade their JRE version. This might result in errors and appropriate status is not updated for learners.

To resolve this issue, Oracle Learning Management has created a non-java based adapter.

Download the adapter zip that you require from the Attachments section in this note:

• SCORM 1.2 Adapter: Download "SCORM 1.2 Adapter.zip"
• SCORM 2004 Adapter: Download "SCORM 2004 Adapter.zip"

Note: These adapters have been tested and verified to be working on Oracle WebLogic Server (Oracle WLS) and Oracle iAS as content servers for Oracle Learning Management. Whenever the check box 'Log Diagnostic Messages' is enabled for the adapter, messages will be logged onto the content server log files.

For the SCORM adapters to function correctly:

1. Create a separate web accessible directory for each adapter that you want to install on the content server.
2. Ensure that files from each adapter zip are placed in the respective directories created in Step 1.

The administrator can set up new adapter and upload the same on the content server which will be used to play SCORM content. Administrator now has the flexibility to select the appropriate adapter to play SCORM content online.  When a learning administrator sets up a SCORM adapter or updates SCORM adapter information, the administrator can specify whether the adapter is a Non Java Adapter or Signed Java Applet Adapter.

Scope

This note is applicable to the following Oracle Learning Management customers:

R12.1

• Minimum version: Release 12.1 HRMS RUP5
• Customers having applied the patch 18390915:R12.OTA.B.
  • Prerequisite Patch for 18390915:R12.OTA.B: Customers must apply the patch 17494435:R12.FND.B, which is a prerequisite for 18390915:R12.OTA.B.
  • The patch 17494435:R12.FND.B is required to resolve a functional dependency.

R12.2

•  Minimum version: Release 12.2 4
  

Applicable to R12.HR_PF.C.Delta.17 (R12.2 HRMS RUP17) and later

From R12.HR_PF.C.Delta.17 and later, Oracle Learning Management supports only encrypted SCORM adapters.

If you are already using encrypted SCORM adapters, then there is no action to be performed. Otherwise, to use encrypted SCORM adapters, download the following encrypted SCORM adapters:

• JSAdapter12encrypt.zip for SCORM 1.2 content
• JSAdapter2k4encrypt.zip for SCORM 2004 content

Note: As a learning administrator, use the "Create SCORM Adapter" page to register the downloaded encrypted SCORM adapter with the Adapter Type as Non Java Adapter. You must disable the non-encrypted SCORM adapters. We recommend customers to create new folders on the content server and unzip encrypted adapters in this new folder instead of using the existing adapter folders. Log in as a learning administrator and update SCORM adapters configuration by updating the Directory field with the new folder name.

The adapters available with this note are supported on content servers having servlet containers only.
