  * There are 2 types of Planning Analytics on Cloud, hosted and *
  * OnDemand. Only hosted is supported.                          *
  * There should be a note in the documentation that PA OnDemand *
  * is not supported.                                            *
  * I confirmed this with OM Bimpe Adefowora and she asked me to *
  * log a documentation defect, so there is no confusion with    *
  * the 2 different types of PA on Cloud                         *

Problem conclusion

• This is fixed for 11.1 and 11.2
  
  I've updated the topic "Connecting to Planning Analytics data
  servers from CA on Demand" with the following text:
  
      From an IBM Cognos Analytics on Demand environment, you can
  connect to a TM1 data server that is in a Planning Analytics on
  Cloud environment.
  
      Note: There are two types of Planning Analytics on Cloud:
  Hosted and On Demand. Only the Hosted Planning Analytics on
  Cloud environment is supported if you are connecting from Cognos
  Analytics on Demand.
  
  See the 11.1 and 11.2 topics here:
