Anaplan Connect 1.4.3 Export Process Error

Hello,

I would like to seek some feedback on this issue that I'm having with Anaplan Connect 1.4.3 Export Process.

My hunch is that, maybe it's related to Java -- I have this Java version on my Control Panel:

===============================================

Currently, I have the below basic export script:

@echo off
set AnaplanUser='username:password'
set WorkspaceId='my workspace ID'
set ModelID='my model ID'
set Operation=-service 'https://api.anaplan.com' -auth 'https://auth.anaplan.com' -export 'ACHFM001'
-execute -get 'C:\Users\jspas\Desktop\ANAPLAN CONNECT\anaplan-connect'
rem *** End of settings -Do not edit below this line ***
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion || exit /b 1
cd %~dp0
if not %AnaplanUser% == "" set Credentials=-user %AnaplanUser%
set Command=.\AnaplanClient.bat %Credentials%
-workspace %WorkspaceId% -model %ModelId% %Operation%
@echo %Command%
cmd/c %Command%
pause

===============================================

I am getting this error when I run the script:

'-execute' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'-workspace' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
.\AnaplanClient.bat -user 'my username:password'

set Operation=-service https://api.anaplan.com -auth https://auth.anaplan.com -export ACHFM001
set Operation=%Operation% -execute -get "C:\Users\jspas\Desktop\ANAPLAN CONNECT\anaplan-connect"

Note that what follows -get should be a file path, not a directory. Also Command is split:

set Command=.\AnaplanClient.bat %Credentials%
set Command=%Command% -workspace %WorkspaceId% -model %ModelId% %Operation%

Thank you for all your feedback.

I was able to run the script successfully.

In addition to the helpful comments...

- I needed to specify a path which served as the destination of my exported files -- this was where the -get command placed the exported files.

- I needed to include the filename inside the destination path and also added it on the script, and since I wanted it in excel, I had to make sure it had .xls as the file extension.

Here's the revised script that worked:

@echo off
set AnaplanUser="username:password"
set WorkspaceId="******"
set ModelID="******"
set Operation=-service "https://api.anaplan.com" -auth "https://auth.anaplan.com" -export "ACHFM001"
set Operation=%Operation% -execute -get "C:\Users\jspas\Desktop\ANAPLAN CONNECT\Anaplan Connect Export Destination\ACHFM001.xls"
rem *** End of settings - Do not edit below this line ***
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion || exit /b 1
cd %~dp0
if not %AnaplanUser% == "" set Credentials=-user %AnaplanUser%
set Command=.\AnaplanClient.bat %Credentials% -workspace %WorkspaceId% -model %ModelId% %Operation%
@echo %Command%
cmd /c %Command%
pause

Thanks a lot!

@jspascual

Anaplan Connect Supports Java 8 and it seems you are already updated on that. Can you please check if your script is in the same directory as Anaplan Client.bat. Also can you use double quotes instead of single quotes and see if that fixes the issue

Thanks,

Misbah

I suspect that the text editor you used to edit the script has broken the command line into two (word wrap). Most editors will allow you to turn word wrap off, or you can append parts together using set Operation=%Operation% ..., or you can use a caret('^') at the end of a line to tell the command interpreter to join it with the next.

Thanks for the response, @Misbah .

I tried using double quotes, it's still the same.

Yes, the script is located in the same folder where the Anaplan Client is in.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback, @ben_speight

I tried replacing the "Operation" by "Operation=%Operation% ...", it's still the same.

I also tried putting "^" at the end of the "set Operation=-service "https://api.anaplan.com" -auth "https://auth.anaplan.com" -export "ACHFM001"" line, but it still did not work.

Thanks,

Jonathan
