Configuring Enablement Features

The enablement features provide the ability to create enablement communities.

    This feature requires additional licensing for use in a production environment.

Use of the enablement features requires ...

Installation of :

• SCORM
  Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a collection of standards and specifications for e-learning.  SCORM also defines how content may be packaged into a transferable ZIP file.
• MySQL
  MySQL is a relational database primarily used for SCORM tracking and reporting data for Enablement, as well as tables for tracking video progress. The SCORM for enablement feature pack requires the MySQL JDBC driver.
• FFmpeg
  FFmpeg is a solution for converting and streaming audio and video and, when installed, is used for proper transcoding of Video Assets. For enablement communities, it is used in the author environment to obtain metadata for uploaded resources as well as generate a thumbnail to display when listing the resource.

Setup of :

• Community Managers
  For enablement communities, only members of the Community Enablement Managers user group may be assigned the role of Community Site Enablement Manager, whose permissions may include content creation, assignments, and member management in the publish environment.

Optional configuration of :

• Adobe Analytics
  Integration with Adobe Analytics adds comprehensive reporting features and supports the Video Heartbeat addtion to Analytics.
• Dispatcher

Following are the steps necessary for enablement communities.

Each step links to documentation which provides the necessary details.

On all author/publish instances :

1. install JDBC driver for MySQL
use Web Console (bundles) : http://localhost:4502/system/console/bundles
install before installing SCORM package

2. install SCORM package
use Package Manager : http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/

On any server:

3. install MySQL, MySQL Workbench

4. install MySQL databases
execute SQL scripts downloaded from author instance
use MySQL Workbench

On same server hosting author instance:

5. install FFmpeg

On all author/publish instances :

6. configure JDBC Connections pool
use Web Console (configMgr) : http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

7. configure SCORM engine service
use Web Console (configMgr) : http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

8. configure CSRF filters
use Web Console (configMgr) : http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

On author instance :

9. (optional) configure Analytics service
use Tools, Deployment, Cloud Services console : http://localhost:4502/etc/cloudservices/sitecatalyst.html

10. configure FFmpeg
use Workflow/Models console

11. enable Tunnel Service
use Web Console (configMgr) : http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

12. create Community administrators for author environment
use classic-UI Security console: http://localhost:4502/useradmin
- create user(s) with path = /home/users/community
- add members(s) to the following groups :
Community Enablement Managers
Communities Administrators

When the deployment includes AEM's Dispatcher, in order for the enablement features to work properly, the clientheader and filter sections need modification.  See Configuring Dispatcher for Communities.
