Command Line Interface (CLI) for Import/Export

All import/export related functionality can be accessed with the command line interface (ImportExportCLI.exe) which can be found in your installationnull package (see Installation / File Structure in the ARA Installation Guide or ARA Administration Guide).

The program does not connect to the application database directly, but communicates with the import/export web service on the application server that can also be used directly by programs. The CLI is self-contained - no other files are required to run the CLI - and can be distributed via copy paste to all machines where the .Net Framework is available.

The Import/Export CLI works stateless. Therefore, you have to provide all parameters on each call. For additional information on the syntax and the parameter, you can also use the Help command.
