How to Open CA Clarity PPM Projects in Microsoft Project

You can open projects from:

• CA Clarity PPM
• Microsoft Project Interface with Schedule Connect

Before you open a project from CA Clarity PPM into Microsoft Project:

1. If you have the project open in Microsoft Project, save and close the project.
2. Close any open dialog boxes or let any interactions with Microsoft Project complete.
3. If you are attempting to open a project from a different CA Clarity PPM server:
   1. Exit Microsoft Project.
   2. Change the server settings in Schedule Connect.

      Suppose, you have Microsoft Project running and Schedule Connect is already connected to a CA Clarity PPM server. Schedule Connect attempts to open a project with the same ID from the CA Clarity PPM server to which Schedule Connect is currently connected. If the project ID is not found, the project cannot open.
