In general, I'm interested to know more about how people currently perform bulk operations on ArchivesSpace objects, including record creation (without the RDE), bulk updates, deletions, etc.
Just curious if any of you have command line access to the server running your ArchivesSpace instance and are able to work with the API. Without it, you have to resort to workarounds which, though helpful, can be a little clunky and/or error prone. It would be great to include a set of bulk operation tools in a future ArchivesSpace release.
