Save As window appears when trying to open a project in MSP

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

When trying to open a project from Clarity PPM to Microsoft Project (MSP), a Save As window appears asking me to save a file and a sched.nikusl file is generated in the workstation's Downloads folder. I am unable to access my schedule even after saving. 

No error is displayed aside from the popup window that opens.

Environment

Release:  All Supported Releases
Component: PPMMSP

Cause

This is due to a limit in the number of files of one type that can be stored in the Downloads folder (Currently 100 files for Chrome)

Resolution

Navigate to the folder the files are being downloaded to on the impacted workstation (typically the Downloads folder) and delete all the sched.nikusl files.

Note:  After another 100 files are opened, this step will need to be repeated to remove the popup window again.
