CA Clarity PPM Solution Pack

The CA Clarity PPM Solution Pack is an add-in based on the content delivered in the PMO Accelerator and customer feedback. The Solution Pack is a collection of Xcelsius dashboards and SAP Crystal Reports to be used with the PMO Accelerator add-in.

Before you install the CA Clarity PPM Solution Pack add-in, verify that the compatible versions of CA Clarity PPM and the PMO Accelerator are installed. The CA Clarity PPM Solution Pack installation fails if you do not install the compatible version of the PMO Accelerator add-in before installing the solution pack.

Note: The CA Clarity PPM Solution Pack is supported only for the existing customers.

Important! Review the certified and supported versions chart in the CA Clarity PPM Solution Pack Release Notes to determine if an upgrade of CA Clarity PPM and the PMO Accelerator is required.
