Pipelines in Anaplan Data Orchestrator enable automated data movement from Anaplan to external systems. 

To configure pipelines, you need to use a connection to link Data Orchestrator with an external source system. You can either use an existing connection, or create a new connection.

You can then use the connection in your pipeline to export a source dataset or a transformation view dataset (derived dataset) from Data Orchestrator to an external source system.

Note: Currently, data exports with pipelines support Snowflake only.

You can create a writeback pipeline in Data Orchestrator with a Snowflake connection. The writeback pipeline takes datasets and transformation views from Data Orchestrator and writes them to tables in Snowflake.

The Snowflake writeback pipeline allows organizations to export transformed and validated data from Anaplan to Snowflake. The writeback pipeline can be published and used to update the target table in Snowflake on demand or run at a schedule

You can view and manage pipelines from the Pipelines screen in Data Orchestrator.

To view pipelines in Data Orchestrator:

  1. Select Data Orchestrator from the top-left navigation menu.
  2. Choose a dataspace from the list.
  3. Select Pipelines from the left-side panel.

After you create a pipeline, you can run the pipeline as part of an Anaplan Workflow. This enables you to automate data transfers based on a schedule, or trigger them manually as part of a larger sequence of tasks.
