Anaplan Connect Integration

Hi Experts,

Anaplan Connect scripts to connect to the internet via web proxy server?

Could you please share your thoughts on the above question raised from one of our customer?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Anil

Yes, as connection to Anaplan is done over the internet (there is no way to have Anaplan "installed"/deployed in your intranet). Obviously, it doesn't mean you need to open your server to whole internet - as Anaplan API endpoints sit behind Cloduflare, there is a list of IPs (https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/) that should be allowed, the rest can be blocked.

Hi @anildudam,

Yes, there are such options, "-v" (and "-vu" for protected proxies).You can find relevant option in documentation in Appendix C: https://anaplanenablement.s3.amazonaws.com/Community/Anapedia/Anaplan_Connect_User_Guide_v3.0.0.pdf

Hi Kierepka,

Thanks for your reply. Further to your answer, our customer asking Integration question as Anaplan Connect system/server, must setup internet right?

Hi @mokhtariadis,

I'd need more details to help you:

If I read correctly, it often fails - it means it sometimes works? Then, I'd assume it's your proxy/connection instability, not Anaplan's fault, and I can't help you there.
I understand that you use proxies to scrape the data - but do you need to pass your Anaplan traffic through them? It sounds like it's not necessary for you. Or at least, can you check if without proxies you are able to connect to Anaplan correctly?
Do you have some logs (either generated by Anaplan Connect by using "debug"/"-d" flag, or from your proxy, preferably from both)? Usually they have the information needed to solve a case.

Also, if the above won't help, it might be better to start another, fresh thread for your case.

I couldn't find any formula to do this, but I want a way to put on the page/grid the connection details. This is so I know what connection I'm in rather than going into Connections details to see it. Is there an XL3 formula to return this value?
