Hi Team,

This concern is related to the "Anaplan Connector for Informatica Cloud" which says that  File based mapping/integration is going to be eliminated starting early next year. (refer this link: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Platform-Releases/What-s-New-June-9-2018-Anaplan-Connector-for-Info...) 

The link above answers questions regarding the steps to be followed to be done from the Anaplan Informatica conenctor's end. BUT, what's still a mystery for us is, what has to be done with the existing Anaplan actions using 'File' as a source? Also, if we were to create a new import action in future which would bring data from another application (say Salesforce) (from a file) via informatia cloud then WHAT SHOULD BE THE SOURCE OF THE IMPORT ACTION?
