    Is Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Project 2013 now compatible with Clarity 13.3?  If yes, what makes it compatible now?  If it is still not compatible, please advise what types of issues could be expected to occur.  Thanks.

    Hello,

     

    13.3 does not support MSP 2013 SP1. Latest supported is 2013 (without SP).

     

    This URL explains the issues you will observe (it applies to 13.3, as 13.3 is using Legacy driver only)

    Release 14.1 Updates (On Premise) - CA PPM - 14.2 - CA Technologies Documentation

     

    Microsoft Project 2013 Do Not Install Service Pack 1

    The CA PPM Legacy MSP Interface option does not support the Microsoft Project Service Pack 1.

    Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Project 2013 has a known issue that affects how it works with CA PPM. The following behavior results when the service pack is installed:

    • Baselined projects cannot be opened with Microsoft Project 2013. The Visual Basics run-time error '91' is received.
    • All the actuals are zeroed out when you launch a project from CA PPM to Microsoft Project 2013.

    For more information, see the following Knowledge Base articles on CA Support Online: TEC610737, TEC615024.

    Note: Microsoft Project 2013 Service Pack 1 is supported for integration with the new CA PPM Release 14.2 MSP Interface option.

    Upgrade Action: Do not apply Service Pack 1 to Microsoft Project 2013 if you are using the CA PPM Legacy MSP Interface.

     

    Hope that this answers your question.

    Best regards,

    Marc
