Exporting data to other system but triggered inside Anaplan
Hi everyone,
I would like to explore the possibility to trigger (with a button in Anaplan) a data export from Anaplan to another system. For some of our processes our Anaplan users are currently hitting a 'magic button' outside Anaplan to transfer data from Anaplan to a different target system. It would be nice for them to have this button in Anaplan.
At the moment all data integration to/from Anaplan we are using the Anaplan connect. So in fact the 'magic button' is triggering the Anaplan connect script.
Is this possible?
Many thanks.
Regards ****

Hi ****,
You cannot execute an Anaplan Connect script from within Anaplan on a dashboard. You can run an export action from the Dashboard and then have process to 'listen' for a new file on the server and load to target system.
Also see recommended solution for "Trigger .bat files from Dashboard" (https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Locked-Product-Requests-for/Trigger-bat-files-from-Dashboard/m-p/7819#M1535).
Hope this helps!

Hi @****.kaandorp,
There is no native solution that allows this, as @linda_erickson mentioned. However, I've developed a solution, in production now, that allows for actions to be run ad-hoc from within Anaplan. If you'd like more details about it, I'd be happy to arrange a meeting to review the solution. The best way to reach me is by email.
Best,
Jesse
