Enable Cross-domain CA Clarity PPM Data Transfers

If you plan to display Xcelsius visualizations in any of the following ways, set up these cross-domain data transfers:

• Dashboard outside CA Clarity PPM
• Dashboard inside CA Clarity PPM using data from the Business Objects universes
• Dashboard inside CA Clarity PPM when the application server name is different than the server hosting Web Services

If you are licensed to use CA Clarity PPM through a service provider, contact your service provider to discuss whether this option is available to you.

Follow these steps:

1. Create an XML file.
2. Copy the following lines to the file, and save as crossdomain.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
   <cross-domain-policy>
      <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false" />
      <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
   </cross-domain-policy>
   

   You can use the * (asterisk) character as a wildcard. domain=* allows access from any domain. The domain access can be restricted and this limits the access for outside domains. For example, *.acme.com, www.acme.com.

3. Add the crossdomain.xml file to the following paths for each connection method:
   • CA Clarity PPM Web Service:

     <Clarity_home>\tomcat-app-deploy\ROOT
     

   • Query as a Web Service:

     /<BO_INSTALL_DIR>/bobje/Tomcat7/webapps/ROOT
