How to Install Add-Ins

This section describes the steps required to install add-ins from a .jar file so that the content is available to users. Complete the steps on your CA Clarity application server. Before installing an add-in, verify that the relevant CA Clarity PPM version is installed.

Important! If you upgrade from a previous version of the add-in, verify the compatibility chart in the add-in release notes to see if an upgrade for the add-in is required, or is optional.

The following process details how to install add-ins on your CA Clarity PPM server:

  1. Download the .iso image file.
  2. Extract the .jar file.
  3. Stop the services.
  4. Install the add-in.
  5. Start the services.
  6. Apply the add-in.

    Perform the step if the add-in is installed, or CA Clarity PPM view is modified by installing the add-in.

The universes and stock reports are stored in the Business Intelligence Archive Resource (BIAR) file included with the add-in. If your company takes advantage of the new Business Objects reporting security model, import the BIAR file using the Business Objects Import Wizard. Repeat the steps you used for importing the CA Clarity PPM universe and stock report information to import the BIAR file for the add-in.
