Batch Loader Download Location / Source Code

Where do I download the files for the batch loader? 

In the past I ran it from the server itself but I don't have access to the server right now. 

Can I just download the files and run it from my computer? 

I can't seem to find any information, everything seems to assume you already have access to the application. 

I'd also be interested in taking a look at the source code, if it is open source

    Hi Bryan,

    The batchloader connects to your Aras Instance via Oauth. Assuming your local machine can access your server you can run the Batch loader on your machine, and load data into your Innovator Server.

    The files can be found in the CD Image corresponding with your Aras version. Subscribers should be able to access the CD image via the MFT site.

    Unfortunately I don't believe the batch loader is open source. Is there a specific reason you're interested at looking under the hood?

    Hi Bryan,

    We put together an open-source CLI wrapper that drives the official Batch Loader binaries from your CD image. It should fit the kind of automation you’re describing.

    Would love your feedback. Please let us know if anything is unclear!

      Hey AJ, 

      Thanks for the reply! I was able to get the files from MFT after working with the support team. 

      I'm interested in how it works because there seems to be the possibility of automating the entire process of migration from another system, for example reading / replicating the data structure from another system (using API) and then uploading any files / attachments as you iterate through it (using batch loader logic). 

      I don't have a specific use case yet, but at my last company we had a Jira migration that something like this could have solved...

        Hi Bryan, we can dig up some samples to demonstrate how to automate a batch load process via script. Great question!
