Getting started

The vendor agent is a command line application that provides two actions: analysis and submission.

Analysis

The analysis step analyzes a supplied file and produces a JSON file containing the results of the analysis.

Submission

The submission step submits the JSON results file to the aDolus API to be processed by our FACT system. The data in the JSON file is converted and inserted into the aDolus database.

Splitting the process into these two steps gives you the ability to review the analysis data prior to submitting it to the aDolus system.

As part of the system setup, we have created an aDolus account for you, using your email address as your username.
