Steps: Set Up Planning Data Source Credentials

Steps: Set Up Planning Data Source Credentials

To use
Adaptive Planning
 as a data source within integration, you must create and select a credential. If the username entered in the credential can access a multi-instance environment, you also select the
Adaptive Planning
 instance you want to use. Passwords for
Adaptive Planning
 credentials do not get stored within integration. When you provide a valid
Adaptive Planning
 username and password during authorization an internal token authenticates the user for data source use.
If your instance is Workday-enabled and you synchronized users from Workday to
Adaptive Planning
, you must select a Workday Credential for your Planning data source or create a Planning Credential by selecting
Use Currently logged in user
.

Prerequisites

  • Required Permissions: Data Designer.
  • Acquire the
    Adaptive Planning
     username and password
  • Verify the user exists and can log in to the
    Adaptive Planning
     instance you want to access.
  • Verify the user has the appropriate permissions in their instance to the areas in
    Adaptive Planning
     you need for the loaders you want to create and run.
  • Changing the username within an existing
    Adaptive Planning
     Data Source Credential can change the instance code the credential uses. Existing data sources that use the credential could become invalid.

After creating your credentials, select

 from the
Actions
 pane. You can choose yourself as the current authorized user by selecting
Use Currently logged in user
. This enables you to connect to your local instance. A credential set up using this option functions as a local connection, allowing you to use shared parameters in different Planning Data Source configurations. Ensure you have access to the data sources you need.

Use a Credential

Once you complete your
Adaptive Planning
 credential, you can select it when you set up
Adaptive Planning
 as a data source.
