Doug Greer (CA PPM Solutions Architect) over at Rego Consulting along with Camille Pack (Rego's Expert Content Creator) recently got together to discuss CA PPM 14.2 performance and outlook. It's such a great read for everyone who shares the CA PPM space, so I thought I would get permission to re-publish the orginal blog post by Camille over at Rego Consulting.

Cost Plans provide great functionality in Clarity PPM. It is common for several users to have access to them. So it’s easy to end in a fiscal period nightmare if you make a typo when creating the fiscal periods.We have seen this case with several customers, when they realize the periods are not accurate. By the time they realize this, a user already created a Clarity PPM Cost Plan and as soon as they try to delete or deactivate, the system won’t allow it. If your Clarity PPM environment has a couple thousand projects and a handful of PMs, it is going to be painful to track the culprit and remove it. The below Clarity PPM query can easily identify time periods in use and provide information about the investment: |

When working with Clarity PPM it is pretty common to get an error and navigate to your logs to find the exact exception and start troubleshooting. But what happens when you get an error and no message is printed out?We had a similar situation this week, a user updated a time-scaled portlet and each time a user scrolled the scale, they would get a popup with no details or messages in the log. We then identified that if the error occurs on the client side it may not get to the server, and because CA Clarity PPM is strong in JS it is fairly easy to face this issues. In this case the issue was reproducible when adding a time scaled attribute without defining the number of periods to display. Once the portlet was reconfigured it has not occurred again. |
