The Connect Manager is a tool that allows non-technical users to create Anaplan Connect scripts from scratch, simply by walking through a step-by-step wizard.

Features include:
 - Create scripts for the Import/Export of flat files
 - Create scripts for Importing from JDBC/ODBC sources
 - Ability to chose between commonly used JDBC connection – New in v4
 - Run scripts from the new Connection Manager Interface – New in v4
 - Ability to use certificate authentication

Please note that this program is currently only supported on Windows systems and requires .Net 4.5 or newer to run (.Net has been included in the download package).

The Connect Manager is approved by Anaplan for general release, however, it is not supported by Anaplan.

If there are any specific enhancements you want to see in the next version, please leave a comment or send me an email at graham.gronhoff@anaplan.com.

Download the Anaplan Connect Wizard here.

If you are migrating to the new Anaplan Connect 1.4 release please check back soon as a new version will be published that includes updated features and functionality.

Keystore creation can be tricky if you are not familiar with the command line. To that end, I have created an additional program that will perform all the required steps for its creation. Use this link to go to the application: KeyStore Wizard

Connect Manager for Anaplan Connect versions 1.4.x will be published in July 2019.

    Hi mjpearlman,

    Unfortunatly there isn't a Mac version right now, main reason being is that the majority of users are on Windows so I made that the priority for development. I am working on a version for Mac but it is a side project at the moment so I don't have an eta on a completed product yet. In the mean time you can either use a virtual machine to run the program or you can use an app called Crossover which will aloow you to run it on your Mac.

     

    Hope this helps!!!
