Hello,
Is it possible to export data from all modules (or selected modules; let's say there's 70 of them) without individually creating export actions for every single module?
Thanks,
Arthur

Sort of.
Unfortunately, you cannot export a "module".
You must first create the export action preferably using a view that contains only the data you want.
With that many modules you'll want to name those exports very carefully so you can find them using a python script.
Iterate through the files you want to export.
I ran into something like this a while ago where each planner had their own module. I used a line item subset to consolidate the modules into one - worked perfectly. This will only work, of course, if the line items are the same.
I'm copying this to @kavinkumar. If there's a way, he'll know.
@ArthurOff the short answer is you have to create the export in Anaplan first.
If you have 70 modules then you'll have to create 70 export actions that generate a file that you can download.
@PaulRitner discusses the same issue in this post. The business case for the API was to automate the actions in Anaplan.
As a suggestion, see if you can use a line item subset and use the COLLECT() function. By doing this you can consolidate the modules. This will only be possible if the line items are the same though.
Can you give some description of the 70 modules? Is there any type of similarity between them?
no I don't think we have that API point.

Hi, Where are the member properties for lists defined in Anaplan XL? In the training documentation there is an example showing a property such as “Birth Date”, which appears to be a list-item attribute. That suggests you can create custom list properties from the Anaplan list. However, when I connect through Anaplan XL, I…
Hi all I have a list of networks organized hierarchically on a list of entities, which is itself organized hierarchically on a list of divisions (organization). An entity can have several networks. I also have a list of product models, which is itself ranked with three higher levels: this “Models” L4 list is ranked at a…
