This utility is planned to be archived later this year. The features provided by it are available out of the box (OOTB) in Appian versions 23.2+. For more information, refer to the Deployment APIs documentation.
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.
Key Features & Functionality

Note: This utility does not support Java version 9.0.
You need to make sure you're running the script from the same directory the other artifacts are in. See https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/198/deployment-automation#Deploy_from_the_Command_Line_Script for more details
Error: Could not find or load main class com.appiancorp.ps.plugins.automatedimport.remote.DeployApplication
Any idea about this error, got this wehn i executed the script
How are you using the folder listener and what was the error message?
When I run version-application.bat in Git Bash, it works for me and deploys my code to the repository.
However, I'm interested in using the Folder Listener functionality, but when I try this, the deployment fails with an error message. It's a similar error message that I get when I try to run the version-application.bat file within a Windows Command prompt instead of Git. Is there any suggested solution for this, or configuration steps I'm missing? I'm having a hard time finding sufficient documentation on this.
I am trying to run the below command
version-application -action addContents -vc_username **** -vc_password *** -application_path "C:\Users\kowsalya\App.zip" -ddl_ds jdbc/AppianAnywhere -ddl_path "C:\Users\kowsalya\Script.sql" -commit_message "Commit by @Kowsalya"
but it says not a recognized command. Please help.

the solution was to override the order of the authentication methods by adding the following on the version-appliation.bat "DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=-Dsvnkit.http.methods=Basic" in case the svn has Basic authentication. Or we can use any of the other options like this "DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=-Dsvnkit.http.methods=Basic,Digest,Negotiate,NTLM" it will depend on your needs
while testing this with svn I faced an issue like this "org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNAuthenticationException: svn: E170001: Negotiate authentication failed: 'No valid credentials provided'
The only change we have made is to fix the bug in executing DDL scripts:July 2019 - Release 2.5.8
A couple questions.
1. What changes were made in the July update?
2. Is there an issue with the automation manager pushing code to GIT?
I use PortableGit to push Appian Applications to BitBucket. Last month I noticed that the automation manager unzips my application into the appropriate files locally and sends a commit message to Bitbucket but it no longer pushes the files. I thought it was because I was still on client version 2.5.7 but its still happening with version 2.5.8. My current work around is to manually add all changes and push it to my branch using git. Does anyone else experience this? How can I troubleshoot this as none of my configurations in version-manager.properties have changed?
Is there an example application and database configuration that might demonstrate how this is meant to work? I think that would go a long way to solve the problem.
