Data Integration Micro Lessons

ankit_cheeni

Hi All, 

 

I have recently completed Level 3 model building and realized I did not have a background to understand all the data integration lessons that were part of it. I did get most of it but did not really get to appreciate the REST APIs and CA Certifications and the lessons/granularity around them. 

I wanted to understand how important these are when it comes to our Anaplan Journey. Since the lessons were pretty detailed, I am assuming the learning team wants us to know all about it. But I have personally steered away from Integrations - partly because of preference and partly because we usually have an integrations team to manage all integrations. But wanted to take a general view and see if I should be spending more time studying about it.

Hi @ankit_cheeni,

 

It greatly depends on what exactly do you want to learn. A good starting point is Anaplan Learning Center - you can find there 2 dedicated lessons, 301 & 303. Next step is to basically read more on Anapedia: Data Integration . You will find there Anaplan API documentation, Anaplan Connect guides, and different types of other connectors with basic usage. About CA Certificates, which are used for authentication to APIs, I recommend this: Interactive CA Certificate Guide - Anaplan Community.

Then, you have some articles written about different pieces of Data Integration, few notable mentions:

• Anaplan REST API
• Overview of Anaplan Data Integration Options
• Easily Get Current Date Using CloudWorks

Hi @M.Kierepka This is great, thank you! 

You have created a mini learning path for anyone who wants to dive deeper into integrations. Appreciate it! Will let you know how it goes once I go through the lessons
