<adlcp:map> in scorm 2004 4th edition

We are building API for scorm 2004 4th edition , we start using the the official Test Suite but in the DMI test we get the following error 开发者_Go百科:

"ERROR: Attempted to access an objective with the id "tarID1" but "tarID1" was not found."

when i looked in the manifest xml file i found that those elements are defined as "adlcp:map" , where shall i save this tag ? what this tag represent ?

Anything you would want to know about any element in a manifest (assuming it doesn't utilize third-party extensions) can be found in the official SCORM documentation.

Download the documentation suite. In the CAM book, look for section 3.4.1.19, titled "<map> Element".

This is used for shared buckets, or data which can be accessed and set across courses/SCO's. For example, you might have a pretest and need that score/user answers in another SCO for providing feedback.

For those looking for more info on implementation:

Add this to your item (organisation > item) in the manifest:

<adlcp:data>
  <adlcp:map targetID="mybucketname" readSharedData="true" writeSharedData="true"/>
</adlcp:data>

JS part (Use your API calls in place of LMSGetValue and LMSSetValue)

var dataBucketsCount = LMSGetValue("adl.data._count");
dataBucketsCount = parseInt(dataBucketsCount);
for (var i=0; i < dataBucketsCount; i++){
        if (LMSGetValue("adl.data." + i + ".id") == "mybucketname"){
                //do your processing with the data
        }
}

You can google for RTE Handbook SCORM 2004 4th edition, to get details on the manifest elements. However this is a lovely way to save data from one course and get it in other, provided your LMS supports it. Also, the character limit is same as suspend data.
