Overview
This utility automates the process of inspecting the application, executing DDL scripts, updating CDTs, republishing the appropriate datastores, and importing the application.
With the Automated Import Manager Client, users can automatically deploy applications and package contents (either applications from Appian OR packages generated from the Automated Versioning Manager) to any environment. This utility provides the scripts that support triggering deployments from an external CI tool or deploy from the command line.

Any news on Automated Export Manager ? AFAIK we do not have a CLI/API for Exporting Application/Patch.
If this is added, it will complete the whole deployment process.
seanb356 the solution already supports such files through the -ac_customization_path. The option is not named correctly and we will make the update but you can use that in your implementation.
When is this going to support application customization files? Without this support, we are unable to implement a truly automated deployment solution for Appian applications.
