Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

1. Are Microsoft Project (MS Project) "OS365" / "MS365"/ Click to Run (C2R) / Project Online versions compatible with Clarity? 
2. If Yes, what version is the C2R version supported in?
   • For example, CA PPM 15.3 (SaaS) and MS Project 2016 (Office 365 version, not standalone version).
   Is it compatible with the Clarity MSP Integrator/Interrace for 15.8.1?

Environment

Release: All Supported Releases
Component:  MSP

Resolution

1. For Clarity versions 15.6.1 and higher:

• Starting in Clarity Version 15.6.1 and higher the Click-to-Run / Office 365 is supported with the MSP Interface.
• Project Online Client Desktop is supported but not Project Online Browser
  • Excerpt from the documentation here: 
    The Microsoft Project (MSP) interface requires .NET Framework 4.5.1 or higher. MSP support now includes C2R editions/Project Online Client Desktop of 2016 and 2019, and either 32-bit or 64-bit editions. However, MSP Online browser edition is not supported
    
  • See the Clarity PPM 15.6.1 Release Notes for more details. 

       2. For Clarity PPM Versions 15.6 and lower, Office 365 is not supported with the MSP Interface

• As referenced in the compatibilities section of the documentation for CA PPM 15.4.1 (refer to the compatibilities section of your PPM Version for exact Microsoft Office support):

"Microsoft Office 365 2013 and 2016 are supported. CA PPM also supports the Click-to-Run virtualization option; however, Microsoft Project is not supported with this option." 

• One way to confirm if your version of MS Project is an Office 365 version, is to search for that specific version on the internet.
