The basic flow of the API is the following
When executing a single command, for example "add host" using the mgmt_cli without calling the login command first. The mgmt_cli executable will in the background preform the following steps. [login] -> [add host using session ID from login] -> [publish] -> [logout].
To control this behavior you can call the login command first, retrieve the session ID, reuse the session ID in all your changes, for example add multiple host objects, publish all your changes at once by reusing the session ID and logout.
If you execute the command mgmt_cli add host with the batch flag [-b] the executable will for example create all 200 hosts in one session and then publish all the changes at the end.
For example by using the batch flag in the executable it took me ~2 minutes with one publish using one command to add 200 hosts on my test machine a R80 management server running in VMware workstation on a Laptop
After publish the hosts are available for the other administrators
