Updating UPK Player Attached to Oracle Help Menu

Attaching a UPK Player to the Help Menu in Oracle requires that the instance be bounced. This can pose a problem maintaining a current Player during content development. It is the practice of the KBACE Education team to provide a Player to attach to the Help menu once a week. In the interim, toc and tpc files for the new content may be provided which does not require the instance to be bounced.

 

If you've worked with Oracle Tutor, you know that you can enhance the content by adding attachments within Tutor processes, sub-processes and procedures.  To enhance the experience for the end-user, links can be created to learning content created using the User Productivity Kit (UPK).  Linking UPK content within Tutor procedures allows the end-user to review the business process from a high level down to the precise system steps.

For example, within a Tutor procedure, decide where the user touches the system and would benefit by viewing a UPK topic simulating the system steps.  Add a refer to statement to link to the UPK topic playback mode(s) of your choice.  Once you add the link and convert the Tutor documents to HTML, the end-user has the ability to launch the simulation.

Below are three screenshots to show the end to end process. 

1.  The Tutor procedure flow where the end-user has the ability to click on the Update Personal Information image to;

2.  access the refer to statement within the procedure where two playback modes to a UPK topic are linked; and after selecting a playback mode (in this example Try It)

3.  to the UPK Try It mode of that topic.

 

 

 

 


 

The KBACE Education team provides a Player to attach to the Oracle Help menu once a week during content development, but attaching the player requires that the instance be bounced.  This process can pose problems when maintaining a current Player during content development.  

We've discovered that publishing a new player and replacing certain smaller files within the PlayerPackage instead of the entire package can resolve this issue.  This will save hours over a full upload, and does not require the instance to be bounced.
