I try to manage project import in Ignition 8.1 for multiple gateway.  
Is there a way to automate this process ?

Seems to be doable with:  
[https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.29/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/project/ProjectFileUtil.html](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.29/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/project/ProjectFileUtil.html)

and importFromZip​.

@paul-griffith can you confirm ?

EAM is the obvious answer. Or just extracting the project directly onto the disk.

I don't know offhand how you'd do it through the SDK, but that seems like a reasonable starting point.
