Summary of AIM I/II ACRS in Rel 5.0
Requirement Description
Modify AIM I/II to standardize the discussion points for introduction: (Establish contact, introduce yourself and give any
background that might be of interest, establish readiness, motivating statements, tell the trainer why he or she needs to
know the lesson material, tell the trainee How he will Use the course material, and Safety) in the front matter of the LP.
ACR
ACR AIM-II1998-260
When IMPORTING a Training Path System (TPS) or Course, AIM I checks the contents of 'included PPP tables' with
tables currently in the database; however, whenever a difference is detected, the import process terminates with the error
message "Line items differ for PPP <name> Rev _ Change _, cannot import". Determining where/what the difference is
can be a time consuming process but has to be performed if the difference is to be corrected. The Contractor shall modify ACR AIM-IAIM I to have the error message include the location (e.g., the Personnel Performance Profile (PPP) line item number)
2000-014
where the difference was detected. Additionally, the import process shall continue comparing line items until either the end
of the PPP table or differences in 10 line items have been detected. AIM I shall then terminate the import process and
display the expanded error message.
Development and maintenance of the Exercise Controller Guide (ECG) is currently not supported in AIM. The Contractor
shall implement an ECG Module in AIM I/II as an option for development following the development of the Training Course
Control Document (TCCD). The ECG shall support the Lesson Plan (LP) or stand alone as guidance for the instructor and
ensure consistency of the learning objectives throughout curriculum.
