Thanks a lot for your response. We are planning to implement LSO 6.00 and would like to convert our Assessment QADB (SQL Server Database) to SAP CMS. Would request you to let me know the feasible solution for the same.
Any inputs on this issue please?? what is the best solution to convert our SQL server Q&A Database into SAP's Authoring Tool for Learning Solution 6.00 implementation?
We are implementing LSO 6.00 and our requirement is to transfer the question bank to LSO from SQL Server Database. Is there any way of transferring these questions ??
Also, can we have random generation of questions ?? for eg: if we have some 500 questions in the bank, 50 questions to be selected on random basis for each learner ??
So If I understood it correctly there an existing propriertory question bank with SQL server. You are looking at an option to migrate all the tests and questions from the existing system to the LSO system. Right ?
I am still not clear on the xml conversion. Have you guys found a solution which could be achieved through a xml file ?
am not aware of a way through which you could import only a xml file and create tests/questions. If you have a sample xml file then forward me so that I could do some testing on my end.As per my knowledge you could do one of the following. I
1. Create the tests and questions manually in Authoring Environment. It will be a time consuming task. Based on the number of questions you have you might have to assemble a team of content developers to acheive this.
2. Alternatively, you could create a Adobe Flash based assessment. The Flash component would be the front-end and will read from a xml file to display the questions and to drive the funcationality. This would be a easier and less time consuming than creating the assessments manually in authoring environment. However, you might miss out some of the functionality available in the Test Author of Authoring Environment unless you have all the functionality replicated inside Flash. This would require one time effort in creating the Flash template and the xml file structure. Once that is created you could create multiple assessments by just replacing the xml file. If you select this approach then you would have to ensure the data from SQL is converted in the desired xml format required by your Flash component.
Please let me know if you require any further guidance or clarification regarding this.
