Outbound from CA Clarity PPM Connector Operations

The CA Clarity PPM connector can invoke outbound (get) from connector operations to import the following CA Clarity PPM data into consuming products, such as CA Spectrum SA:

Connection to CA Clarity PPM

The CA Clarity PPM connector uses XOG for all data transfer between CA Clarity PPM and the CA Clarity PPM connector. You can think of XOG as a generic XOG-to-USM engine that connects to CA Spectrum SA Administration. The CA Clarity PPM connector installer deploys all of the files necessary to communicate with CA Clarity PPM and no special configuration steps are required on the CA Clarity PPM side.

Automatic CI and relationship synchronization

The CA Clarity PPM connector imports CA Clarity PPM CIs and relationships, and continually synchronizes updates to CI and relationships in CA Clarity PPM.

CI and relationship updates

The CA Clarity PPM connector uses a XOG-based monitor to detect addition, modification, and deletion of CA Clarity PPM-managed objects.

Alerts

New CIs or changes to existing CIs triggers alerts in the CA Clarity PPM connector. Every time you create or modify a CI, its properties are evaluated against the current CA Clarity PPM connector alert settings. When an alert condition is matched, the appropriate USM alert is raised (or updated or closed, depending on the conditions).

See the "Alerts" section for more information.

CI types and classes

The CA Clarity PPM connector supports the CA Clarity PPM Project and Resource objects, including aggregated cost for selected projects and subprojects.
