Hi Team,
Please help me in understanding how can we import data from IBM sterliling on premise server to Anaplan and automate it.
Automating data imports from an IBM Sterling on-premise server to Anaplan can be achieved through a few different methods. Here are some steps you can follow:
Determine the data source: Identify the data that needs to be imported from the IBM Sterling on-premise server to Anaplan. This could be transactional data or reference data.
Choose a data integration tool: Choose a data integration tool that can connect to the IBM Sterling on-premise server and Anaplan. Some popular options include Mulesoft, Informatica, and Talend.
Configure the data integration tool: Once you have chosen a data integration tool, you will need to configure it to connect to both the IBM Sterling on-premise server and Anaplan. This will involve providing connection details such as server name, credentials, and authentication method.
Define the data mappings: Define the data mappings between the source data from the IBM Sterling on-premise server and the target data in Anaplan. This will involve identifying which data fields should be mapped to which Anaplan modules and dimensions.
Schedule the data import: Set up a schedule for the data import to occur automatically. This could be done daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the frequency of updates to the data.
Test and monitor the data import: Before deploying the automated data import process, it's essential to test it thoroughly to ensure that the data is being imported correctly. You should also monitor the data import process regularly to detect and resolve any issues that may arise.
These are basic requirements to be checked before integration.
Below is one the example you can verify
@echo off
set STERLING_SERVER= set STERLING_USER= set STERLING_PASSWORD=
set ANAPLAN_USER= set ANAPLAN_PASSWORD= set ANAPLAN_WORKSPACE= set ANAPLAN_MODEL=
set ANAPLAN_CONNECT_PATH= set ANAPLAN_CONNECT_SCRIPT=
echo Connecting to Sterling server...
cd %ANAPLAN_CONNECT_PATH% call %ANAPLAN_CONNECT_SCRIPT% authenticate -user %STERLING_USER% -password %STERLING_PASSWORD%
echo Importing data into Anaplan...
call %ANAPLAN_CONNECT_SCRIPT% import -file "<path_to_data_file>" -workspace %ANAPLAN_WORKSPACE% -model %ANAPLAN_MODEL% -user %ANAPLAN_USER% -password %ANAPLAN_PASSWORD%
echo Data import complete.

Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
