Hello Community, 

 

I'm trying to export multiple modules (7 modules) using the API. but it takes up to 4 hours to do that.

The size of the biggest module is about 600Mo.

 

My questions are the following :

 

Is there way to do a full export of the Anaplan modules (like creating a dump) ?

Is there some possibilities to accelerate the extraction using the API ?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Best regards

Ahmed

    Hi @jairamkamath 

    Thanks for your reply

     

    Option 5: The last option to save time and if the data is not very important; where if it is just being exported as a backup is to archive the model itself using "Copy and Archive" feature which can complete in 2 minutes on 100GB model.

    For this option can we transfer the archive outside Anaplan server ? my goal is load this archive in a relational database

     

    Thanks

    @AHmedLattali The "Copy and Archive" does not allow you to export data outside of Anaplan. It will be a point in time snapshot of entire model to access only on Anaplan Platform itself.

    However if none of the options work for you - another possible work around:

    In case you have additional workspace you may also be able to import the model into another workspace (takes 2-3 minutes approx.); and then run the batch to export data out of the newly imported model.

     

    That way your users in application would not get impacted for the duration of 2-3 hours while the extracts take place. It requires some re-engineering and work.
