Digital Workshop

I have asked this question before about six months ago but had no replies so I thought that I would try again whilst everyone has a bit of that Christmas 'helpful' spirit.
In the help file there is a mention the variable LMS_DEBUG which tracks the communications with the LMS, however I cannot find it. I have had a look in the publication variables and also tried inserting it as a Constant Expression but still no success.
Has anyone found out how to get at this

So you tried Insert Variable -- and it was not among the list of SYSTEM VARIABLES?

I have not done any work yet with LMS or SCORM. You may have to wait for Mackavi, or another expert in that area, to respond.

Out of curiosity I glanced at the Help Files. I suspect that you have to 'pull' the value of that variable from the LMS side of things. Take a look at this Help Topic, and see what you think. Short Excerpt here.

Thank you for the reply Lar_123.
I have used GetLMSValue() extensively to retrieve he data that is not available in the preset Actions within Opus.
I have had a good look through my list of data model elements available in SCORM and cannot find a debug function anywhere. I would have thought that it would be in the cmi.core group if it is anywhere, but it is not in there.

Digital Workshops - any answers??

Doesn't work like.

It's not a data model element - it a method the same as GetLMSValue() called LMSGetLastError() or in DW script IMSGetLastError().

I don't like or use SCORM actions, so can't really say about debug directly in Opus that way - but a look at the JS shows that two functions do return errors to Opus variables - the initial and finish. The values for which are stored in their respective publication variables suffixed _RETURN.
