Automate model copy

Is there a way to schedule or automate the process of copying a model?

Accepted answers

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:

Integration API:
- Transactional API: Gets model information, checks model status, and can delete models.
- Bulk API: Uploads files and runs actions.
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.
SCIM API:
- Provides details on users and workspaces, adds new users, and updates user information.
Audit API:
- Monitors user activities including login events, new user registrations, and data integrations.
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.
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.

Since the selector is a page context and…
A reminder of Bulk Copy - Current year to Prior year version for YoY analysis
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality.
