3. Export the project to Microsoft Project

Actual Result: Not all dependencies are exported to Microsoft Project

Environment

CA PPM v14.4, 15.1 and v15.2.

Cause

This issue has been reported to Sustaining Engineering as DE33307.

Resolution

This issue is closely related to DE30476/CLRT-80614. Fixes for both defects are included in CA PPM v14.4 patch 8, v15.1 patch 5 and v15.2 patch 1 and v15.3.

To reduce unexpected behavior or errors, set the same language in your integrated applications. For example, set the same language and regional settings in Microsoft Project, the MSP interface connector, Microsoft Windows, and CA PPM.
