How Project Information is Retrieved and Saved (Scheduler Tools)

When saving a project to CA Clarity PPM, information about a project including its tasks and assignments is updated - except for the following:

• Resource and charge code information is not updated or created.
• Time-tracking information on tracked assignments is not updated.
• Unplanned tasks and assignments are not updated or deleted - even when forcing a save.

Assignments, tasks, projects, and team members with submitted actuals cannot be deleted. When you try to delete an assignment with actuals, the estimates are set to zero. When you try to delete a task with actuals, the task is marked as complete.

Tasks cannot be deleted and are relocated under a Deleted Tasks summary task in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The logic in CA Clarity PPM either creates this phase or reuses an existing phase. The name of the task is initially set to Deleted Tasks. However, the ID is set to a non-localized value so that it can be recognized in both CA Clarity PPM and the scheduler tool based on the language settings.
