Step 4: Create Harvest Project in CA Clarity PPM

If you are integrating CA Clarity PPM with AllFusion Harvest Change Manager and Unicenter Service Desk, you must do the following:

• Create a Harvest Project in CA Clarity PPM for each Harvest project in Harvest before integrating. The Harvest Project in CA Clarity PPM provides the mapping between CA Clarity PPM and Harvest.
• Create a Harvest Project in CA Clarity PPM for each Unicenter Service Desk project CI that has a Harvest project defined.

  Note: If Service Desk was not installed in the ITIL mode, Service Desk users will see assets instead of project CIs.

• After Harvest administrators add projects to AllFusion Harvest Change Manager, you will need to create related/corresponding Harvest Project in CA Clarity PPM.
• After creating the Harvest project in CA Clarity PPM, define the Harvest Project field in the Service Desk project CI.
