CA Clarity PPM Web Service
The CA Clarity PPM Web Service connection method enables a visualization to get real-time data.
The CA Clarity PPM Web Service connection method is a good choice when:
- Your CA Clarity PPM implementation is integrated with a solution other than Business Objects.
- You want to use CA Clarity PPM to establish the data source. Experience writing NSQL is required.
- You are unable to use the Query as a Web Service connection method.
Secured data transfers are established in the following ways:
- Authorization. A secured session for the logged in CA Clarity PPM user is enabled by creating a Flash variable, such as session_ID, in the Xcelsius visualization. A corresponding a session ID is defined in the Clarity Session ID in SOAP Header global parameter in the interactive portlet. The Flash Variable Name field of the global parameter must reference the exact Flash variable name in the Xcelsius visualization.
- Access control. User access rights are preserved by including an NSQL security clause to help ensure that users see only the data to which they have access.
