To achieve an automated bulk upload of multiple project folders to Vault, we utilize PowerShell scripts to preprocess the data. These scripts perform tasks such as deleting .bak and OldVersions files, as well as removing 100% duplicate Inventor files. Following this preprocessing phase, which typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, we initiate Autoloader to scan, prepare, and upload the folder structure.
It would be highly beneficial to have the capability to launch Autoloader.exe with specific command-line options, such as:
- Data source folder
- Inventor project file to be used
- Start scan
This feature would allow us to automate a significant portion of the data preparation process before proceeding to the manual tasks associated with Autoloader.
This would enable us to have a quite long time of automated preparation of data in front of the still non-automated Autoloader based tasks of issue handling.
