ARES CLI - Getting started

1. Introduction

ARES CLI is a Command Line Interface designed to enable automation tasks in ARES Commander without requiring user interaction. It allows for seamless processing of drawing files using predefined Command Line Scripts, making repetitive tasks efficient and consistent.

The system operates through a web service, which must be configured for each automation job. The structure of ARES CLI can be summarized as follows:

Environment:
A ZIP file containing the script and supporting files required to execute the job.

Configuration:
A JSON-formatted string that includes all variables necessary for the job.

Input File:
The drawing file to be processed by the automation script.

Job:
The execution process where the Environment is applied to the Input File.

Output Files:
The resulting files generated upon successful completion of the job.
