Using aotimport on server startup

I'm trying to set up one of my AX environments to have an XPO imported whenever the server process is started up. Because the environment is updated from production on a regular basis, and the code needs to be unique to this (non-production) environment, it seems the best option would be to use the AOTImport command on startup. However, I'm having trouble identifying the exact syntax/setup to get this to work.

Looking through the system code, it seems the syntax should be aotimport_[path to file]. Is this correct? The server does not seem to complain about this command, but the file in question does not get imported. I have also tried variations on this command, but have not seen it work.

I supose you're trying to execute a command on SysStartupCmd classes. If so, this methods are fired when AX client starts, not the AOS. It's docummented on this page:

If you want to automate this import it can be done scheduling an execution of the AX client (ax32.exe) on your build workflow that run the import (it's recommended to run a full compilation after importing). This is discussed on other questions here on SO.
