When I used Aras for the first time, I learned that Nash is how you make changes to Aras with from the outside. This was done in two steps. The first one to create all the parts and the second one to add parent/child relationships between parts. I built AML scripts inside Excel with the data and pasted that in Nash. This requires some advance knowledge of Excel (or ask ChatGPT :) ) In Nash, you can paste sequential scripts at once. So what you're building in Excel is one very large script that sequentially creates all the parts. Like this:
<AML><Item action='add' type='Part''><item_number>1234</item_number>.....</Item></AML> <AML><Item action='add' type='Part''><item_number>1235</item_number>.....</Item></AML><AML><Item action='add' type='Part''><item_number>1236</item_number>.....</Item></AML> ....
I'm not sure if the <AML> tag is required. in between all the actions.
Another option would be to use a scripting language to read the .csv file and build the large AML script. If there's too much data to do it all at once, it can be broken down into batches.
SunilReddy Thanks for mentioning this option. I will try that the next time I have to do this without a license. [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

I just happened to run into the excel file that I created long time ago. I see in there that I created a VBA app to convert the tables of data into XML. Let me know if you need it.
