    To schedule or automate a process in Anaplan, it must either be listed in the actions tab or there should be an API available to perform the task.

    Note that creating a copy model action is a manual task, and currently, there is no API available that can copy a model.

    Overview of Anaplan APIs and Their Functions Related to Models:

    1. Integration API:
      • Transactional API: Gets model information, checks model status, and can delete models.
      • Bulk API: Uploads files and runs actions.
    2. ALM API:
      • Manages a model’s online status, synchronizes models, retrieves revision tags, and generates comparison reports. However, it cannot create a model from a revision.
    3. SCIM API:
      • Provides details on users and workspaces, adds new users, and updates user information.
    4. Audit API:
      • Monitors user activities including login events, new user registrations, and data integrations.
    5. Cloudworks API:
      • Offers more complex functionalities than the Cloudworks user interface. For example, you can set up logic to cancel a next action if the previous one fails.
    6. Authentication Service API and OAuth2 API:
      • Create auth tokens.

    Copy the module data within a model ? Can you provide more details on the same ? Model copy needs to be done manually, is what i believe. Inside that if it's like you're creating a model for planning purpose and fiscal year and a lot of this will change for that you need to create multiple actions to automate those tasks. Like Copyover FY24 data to FY25.

  • Thank you both for the responses!
