In our last post Clarity PPM (CA PPM) 14.1 Microsoft Project Integration and Studio Content Management, we talked about the redesigned Microsoft Project integration and new Studio Content Management, which allows you to move configuration content between environments without needing to know XML or XOG.
Aside from the new product branding, the new release of Clarity PPM 14.1 touts four features:
- VersionOne Integration
- Microsoft Project Integration
- Studio Content Management
- On-Demand Integration Adapter
Today we’re going to look at the On-Demand Integration Adapter in Clarity PPM 14.1.
Clarity PPM 14.1 Offers On-Demand Integration Adapter
The fourth new feature in Clarity PPM 14.1 is the On-Demand Integration Adapter for SaaS customers. If you're looking for an easy way to import resource information, this is it. And you don't need to worry about maintenance because Clarity PPM will continue to maintain the adapter through new releases.
Benefits of Clarity PPM 14.1 On-Demand Integration Adapter
With the on-demand integration adapter, SaaS customers will enjoy the ability to:
- Import third-party resource information in Clarity PPM
- Maintain integrations after upgrade
- Enable Stock and Custom Attribute Support
- Include OBS Associations
Exceptions: TSV, Attachments, and MVLs, Lookup support is limited to static lookups
Integration Adapter Data Flow
If you’ve used PPM SaaS before, you know there are two ways to integrate with the on-demand environment. One way is to place the delimited file format on a Secured FTP Server. Clarity PPM will execute the upload, parse and import it via XOG, and move the file to a directory that suits the operation status (input, processing, error, complete).

To account for anticipated de-bugging, Rego Consulting recommends that you wait to upgrade until the next version comes out. Are you using the Clarity PPM 14.1 Integration Adapter? We’d love to hear your experience in the comments below.
