Is there a way to expose the Model Information (e.g. Cell Count and memory used) on a End User Dashboard? If not, what is the advised practice for doing so?

    Great question. Never thought about it this way but you'll have to pull the metadata out first then import it back in. Odd, but that's the only way I can think to do it. You'll need to use the Transactional APIs. The technical documentation is good, but the team at Anaplan put together a [START HERE] series which is terrific.

    • Start with running the transaction APIs. I recommend Python so you can convert the JSON back to CSV
    • Import the CSV into Anaplan

    Other Notes:

    • You cannot run the report "on demand". 
    • It will have to be put on a scheduler, or you can have a scheduled listener to look for a Boolean in Anaplan that indicates the need for an update.
    • Given the use case you mentioned, it seems like a batch job would do the trick, so a regular export then import should do it.
