Cause

This can happen if the project name is changed locally to a different then the original project in PPM. It will instead create a new project in PPM.

Environment

Release : All Supported Releases

Component : CA PPM MICROSOFT PROJECT (MSP)

Resolution

The file should be saved back with the same name as that that was exported from PPM. 

Note: 

• To use an existing project in MSP to create a new project in Clarity:

1. Delete all data in Text3 (Including for the project summary task) and save the project back to Clarity using Save As
2. To display the project summary task: Ensure the Setting to display the project summary task is checked in the project in File->Options->Advanced)
