Connector Improvement: Anaplan Connector to Enable Differential Synchronization

Answered
Seiji Harikae User

[Request]
Please support any of the following for the Anaplan connector.
Enable differential synchronization.
Change the calculation of MAR to a different method, such as "maximum number of records synchronized in the target month".

[Current status]
We are testing the Anaplan connector in a trial and have synchronized a total of over 17 million rows, which is the majority of the MAR.

The documentation says this is the case, but it would be helpful if you could improve it, as the MAR value is enormous for Anaplan alone.
> Because Anaplan doesn't provide any information about updated and deleted records, each sync updates all data. Soft delete and change-data capture aren't supported.

    Hi Seiji - 

    Thanks for submitting this feature request. We don't have plans to change the consumption model for pricing. 

    However, we do know that the Anaplan connector tends to have high MAR due to the format of the exports. However starting April 10, 2023 we will support the Grid Format export option in Anaplan which is an un-pivoted view of the report and will in turn lower the number of rows that are in the export. 

    If you have grid format reports in your Anaplan environment and have the “Sync All Reports” option selected in your Anaplan connector, those reports will automatically begin syncing. Please be aware as this could lead to more reports being synced and thus higher MAR. If you wish to not have those reports automatically synced you can update your connector settings to “Sync Specific Reports”. 

    Thanks,

    Erin
