Introduction

The AIH Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool designed for the efficient creation and updating of information in bulk. Its primary function is to facilitate the rapid and automated transfer of customer data from various sources into the AIH system, using Excel format files.

The AIH.CLI is divided into four main modules:

• Designations - (see: Details)
• Assets - (see: Details)
• Signals
• Files

Example scenario

Consider a scenario where you have data on 1500 Main Systems stored in an ERP System (e.g., SAP) and you need to upload this data into AIH. There are several approaches you could take:

1. Manual Creation: Entering the data by hand. This method is time-consuming and prone to human error.
2. Custom Scripting: Developing a migration script. This requires coding skills and knowledge of AIH's APIs.
3. Excel Export and Upload: Exporting the data from SAP into an Excel format and then uploading it to AIH using the AIH.CLI. This method is efficient, requiring only basic technical knowledge.

Out of these options, the third approach is the most practical for those looking to quickly and efficiently migrate large amounts of data with minimal risk of error.
