Scripting Tools for ARAS Import

I am using licensed ARAS with the Batch Loader - not a problem. Batch loading doesn't allow logic to be applied to the data import. Also, I have engineers who would like to batch load objects, without the local installation of the Batch Loader.

However, I am about to embark on some data migration (Parts, BOM and Documents) using REST and AML that requires the functions of:

- Test if an Item already exists?

- Create an Item

- List an existing item

- List the related items from an Item

- Upload a file

Due to enterprise Standard Operating Environment, the tool sets available, in order of preference are:

1. Powershell - on every PC

2. R, and associated libraries, on some PC

3. Java, on one PC only 

Is there any templates that I can leverage to develop the above capablities?

    I don´t think there are much templates available. But I like the idea! Some of my colleagues use Phyton scripts in combination with the REST api and they said it was easy to do. 

    Maybe this projects fits into this discussion: github.com/.../aras-innovator-cli
