About CA Clarity PPM Schedule Connect
CA Clarity PPM Schedule Connect provides full bidirectional connection between CA Clarity PPM and Open Workbench and CA Clarity PPM and Microsoft Project. The changes you make in CA Clarity PPM or a scheduler tool are automatically synchronized. You are always working with the most up-to-date information.
With CA Clarity PPM Schedule Connect, you can:
- Open projects in either Open Workbench or Microsoft Project for reviewing or editing.
- Save projects updated or new projects created in Open Workbench or Microsoft Project back to CA Clarity PPM, where the latest project information can be viewed by others or used by CA Clarity PPM Portfolio Management features for further analysis.
- Browse a list of CA Clarity PPM resources and allocate selected resources to the project open in Open Workbench or Microsoft Project.
Important! Updating a single project using both Open Workbench and Microsoft Project is not supported. You must choose one scheduler tool to make scheduling changes for the life of the project.
CA Clarity PPM Schedule Connect enables the exchange of data between CA Clarity PPM and a scheduler tool. With CA Clarity PPM Schedule Connect, you get:
- Improved performance. When opening and saving a project, all information is sent to and from CA Clarity PPM in one large block.
- Simultaneous communication between CA Clarity PPM and Open Workbench or Microsoft Project. Data can be sent to the schedulers before an entire block of data has been received from the server.
- Security. Supports SSL and proxy servers without requiring you to open special ports.
