how can I automate or schedule a process with in Anaplan

Suman Reddy

Hi,

 

I am looking for a functionality about how can I automate or schedule a process with in Anaplan, which transfers data from one model to another model with out clicking manually each time on that process in dashboard?..

 

I appreciate your help on it. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in scheduler in Anaplan with the exception of Cloudworks but you need an AWS account. For casual use, I use my windows task scheduler. If you, or your client, have a more commercial scheduler you can use that too. As @CommunityMember126793 mentioned, you'll need to use an integration tool that can POST/PUT a RESTful API. Anaplan Connect is a good choice. I also like to use Python. Here's an example of importing the current date using both. Step by Step.

@Suman Reddy using the Anaplan connect or any 3rd party tool like Dell Boomi etgc.

 

Anaplan Connect: Use the Anaplan Connect batch file and mention the import in the script. Schedule the batch file using Windows Scheduler. Sharing link for the reference purpose

Integration: use the 3rd party tool to execute the action at a specific interval.

Thanks for your quick reply,

 

Can not we do without Anaplan Connect ? as it seems it having dependency on 3rd party systems.

Anaplan Connect is not 3rd party.. it is Anaplan provided batch file.

Unfortunately, Anaplan don't have scheduler feature inside the model, if that's what u looking for
