What are the scenarios in which the ALM sync between Standard and Deployed mode will break
Answers
-
The most obvious scenario is when production model is taken out of deployed mode, and then a structural change is made within the prod model (renaming module/lineitem/list, changing formula, changing non-production list items, changing action mapping, modifying user access, taking a backup copy of the model, adding a revision tag etc).

The connection between the development (Dev) and production (Prod) environments in Anaplan can break in a variety of situations, including the following:
1 Inconsistent standards :- If the development environment and the production environment use different standards, this can lead to differences in functionality and data.2 Changes in Dependencies :- Changes to modules or events in Dev that are not published in Prod can create dependency issues that cause the connection to break.
3 Incorrect export process :- Errors in the export process (such as missing elements or incorrect settings) can break the connection between the environments.
4 Data Synchronization Issues :- If data updates or changes in Dev are not well synchronized with Prod, this can lead to conflicts and connections.
5 User Access and Permission Changes :- Changing user roles or permissions in one environment without reflecting the changes in other environments will prevent proper access and functionality.
6 Business Logic Changes :- If business rules or calculations are changed in Dev but not in Prod, this will cause a difference between the product and the process operation.
7 Script or Formula Errors :- Errors in formulas or scripts that exist in Dev but are not fixed or tested before being moved to Prod can break functionality.
8 Configuration Changes :- Any configuration changes made in development that are not replicated in production will cause a difference in how the model works. Process control, quality testing, and clear data.
