Anaplan Advanced V2 Connector
Intro
Anaplan is a cloud-based business modeling and planning platform for sales, operations and finance. Use Domo's Anaplan Advanced V2 connector to return data you have created as an export in the Anaplan user interface. For more information about the Anaplan API, visit their website. (https://docs.anaplan.apiary.io/)
You connect to your Anaplan account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Anaplan Advanced V2 connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your Anaplan account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
-
An Anaplan private key.
-
A CA-issued X509 certificate.
For an in-depth guide to obtaining a certificate and exporting your private key, see https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Content-Sandbox/A-Guide-to-CA-Certificates-in-Anaplan-Integrations/ta-p/39305.

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Anaplan Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
