I have attached a document showing a communication error which is stopping me using my LAMS server for a staff development course, i.e. I don't want LAMS to get off to a bad start here.

Please

Regards

Paul

Do you get the error every time you preview with this sequence? If that's the case, try removing your 1st activity, saving, then previewing. If it doesn't work, put back your 1st activity, remove the second, save, and preview. It's not ideal, but it might help identify if it's one of the activities that is acting up.

Sorry for delay in reply.

Stuck on the end of a 44k modem connection since and outside LAMS system and firewall to do what I wanted to do.

Thanks for advice. Deleted the opening noticeboard and it worked. This is consistentwith the log file:

2006-09-11 14:55:27,921 ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor] RuntimeException:
com.webmcq.ld.util.exception.SystemException: com.webmcq.ld.controller.dao.ToolNotFoundException: tool with type 'noticeboardrte' not found
at com.webmcq.ld.controller.SingleTaskInstance.prepareTool(SingleTaskInstance.java:109)
at com.webmcq.ld.controller.session.TaskInstanceFactory.initNonGroupSimpleTask(TaskInstanceFactory.java:529)
.
.

So if the problem disappears with usage of noticeboards - okay - but I would still like the option.

Thanks and Regards

It seems you're either using a sequence that was made using LAMS 1.0.1, or your LAMS server is still v1.0.1. Basically there was a bug that would call Noticeboards 'noticeboardrte' instead of just 'noticeboard' in the code, which would give you your communication error when you preview or try to start a session.

If your server is 1.0.1, I'd recommend updating to 1.0.2 if possible. If not, you can workaround this error by editing the exported file:

1. In Author, go File-Export and save your sequence.
2. Open the .las file using Wordpad.
3. Go Edit->Replace, and in the 'find what' field, enter 'noticeboardrte'; in the 'replace with' field, enter 'noticeboard'.
4. Click 'Find Next', then 'Replace' for each instance of 'noticeboardrte' found.
5. Save your .las file.
6. In Author, import your .las file in Author (File->Import).

If your server is 1.0.2 you shouldn't encounter this error unless you happen to import an older sequence that was created in v1.0.1.

Hope this helps,
