This guide explains how administrators and end users can configure and use the Anaplan Connector for Informatica Cloud Version 2.0 to: export data from Anaplan import data into Anaplan delete data from Anaplan run a process that contains any combination of model-to-model Import and Delete actions 1.1 ABOUT THE ANAPLAN CONNECTOR The advantages of using the Anaplan Connector for Informatica Cloud include: Automation: no need to run actions manually from the Anaplan UI Ease of configuration: no need to write a batch file (Windows) or shell script (UNIX/Linux/MacOS) for Anaplan Connect Flexibility: the mapping you create can take advantage of all the functionality that Informatica provides Connectivity: access hundreds of source connectors available to Informatica Cloud Native Scheduling: schedule integration jobs using Informatica Cloud 1.2 ABOUT VERSION 2.0 Version 2.0 introduces support for Informatica Data Synchronization Service (DSS) tasks, which are wizard-like and easy to use. Underlying the DSS in Version 2.0 is the Flat File Connector, which can also be used to manually create a custom mapping. The following table compares Version 2.0 to Version 1.0. Version 2.0 Version 1.0 Support for: DSS Tasks - easy to use and similar to a wizard Mappings - with the Flat File Connector or any number of connectors Support for: FileIO connection mapping Anaplan 2017 1 Document Version 2.1
Return value for success for Delete and Operation is 1. Informatica operation type is always INSERT Return value for success for Delete and Operation is 0. Operation type varies File size tested to 500MB File size tested to 75MB Document Version 2.1 2 Anaplan 2017
1.3 INFORMATICA PREREQUISITES Before you start, make sure you have: 1. An Informatica Cloud Secure Agent that is installed, registered, and running. See https://community.informatica.com/docs/doc-1590. 2. Knowledge of how to use Informatica Cloud, including: (For DSS task) how to use the DSS task wizard (For mapping) how to create a Connection using the Flat File Connector 3. On the same machine where the Informatica Secure Agent is installed: Knowledge of your Informatica Connection properties, such as the Runtime Environment and the absolute path to a directory you can use as your output directory for Export. The following directory or file: Import Export Delete Process A directory to hold the files you import The directory to hold the files you export (output directory) A csv file with at least one column and one row of data A csv file with at least one column and one row of data 1.4 ANAPLAN PREREQUISITES Make sure you have: 1. An Anaplan account with access to a model and workspace. 2. Knowledge of how to use and configure Anaplan actions. 3. Your Anaplan model must already have a corresponding action that you can run manually from the Anaplan graphical user interface: Note: For Export walkthrough, an Export action that exports data from a model Only exports that have a Tabular Single Column or Tabular Multiple Column layout are supported. For Import, an Import action that imports data into a model For Delete, an Other action that deletes data from a model For Process, a Process action that contains multiple actions 4. If you re using Certificate-based Authentication, make sure you: Anaplan 2017 3 Document Version 2.1
Have an Anaplan Certificate file installed on the same machine as your Informatica Cloud Secure Agent. Know the path to that certificate on the machine that is running the Secure Agent. Document Version 2.1 4 Anaplan 2017
Anaplan Operation Connection Type Source Connection Target Connection Informatica Operation Type must be: Export AnaplanV2 Flat File INSERT Import Flat File AnaplanV2 INSERT Process Flat File AnaplanV2 INSERT Delete Flat File AnaplanV2 INSERT Each mapping requires two connections: one for the source, and one for the target. In this document, the two types are Flat File and AnaplanV2. The Flat File is used as an example, but any data source available in Informatica Cloud can be used.

* When importing modules, the row count refers to line items, regardless of the table s orientation in the.csv file. 2.3 LIMITATIONS AND TESTING SETTINGS Model-to-model import is supported in a Process, not an Import. A Process is limited to any combination of model-to-model Import actions and/or Delete actions. Characters in the Anaplan column and field names must be alphanumeric because Informatica doesn t support names that contain spaces or special characters (`, ~,!, @, #, $, %, ^, & *, (,), +, =, <,>,[,],{,}) Characters in the data being transferred must be ASCII. See the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ascii#ascii_printable_code_chart Import and Export actions must use a comma (,) as a Column Separator, and a double quote ( ) as a Text Delimiter. Import and Export of 500 MB have been tested with the following settings: Informatica Secure Agent: 6 GB of RAM DTM JVM: -Xmx1024m Note: Review the Informatica documentation for more information about increasing the field buffer size and increasing Secure Agent memory. 2.4 COLUMN SEPARATOR AND TEXT DELIMITER The Connector uses the Column Separator and Text Delimiter values that were set in the model through the File Import Data Source Definition.
