If you are talking about loading a file with an import profile, it is pretty easy. Below iis an example. Oracle has a doc on how to use this that is very helpful as well.
[HTML Documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/launch.html]
[PDF Documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user.pdf]
BATCH FILE - this will copy the error log to a common location and time stamp it, as well as return an error code for use with applications like Control M
set today=%date:~-4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%
call E:\APPS\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMABatchClient\epma-batch-client.bat -C"E:/DATA/HyperionScripts/Scripts/hier_FinPln.txt" -R"E:/DATA/HyperionScripts/DataFiles/Logs/dimBuild_FinPln_err_%today%.txt"
exit %errorlevel%
REM if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel%
zip -m E:\DATA\HyperionScripts\DataFiles\Logs\hier_FinPln_%today%.zip E:\APPS\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMABatchClient\output\*.*
exit %ReturnCode%
COMMAND FILE - The file referenced in the above batch file
//StopOnError
option StopOnError = true;
//EchoComments
option EchoComments = true;
//LogCommands
option LogCommands = true;
set bpmaserverurl=http://servername/hyperion-bpma-server;
set workspaceurl=http://servername:19000/workspace;
Login username,userpassword;
// Import Account
Execute Import
Parameters(importtype, profilename , filename , waitforcompletion)
Values('flatfile', 'AccountsWith2UDAs', 'E:\DATA\HyperionScripts\DataFiles\Inbound\hier_Account.ADS', 'true');
There are a ton of things you can do with the batch utility, including the automation of deleting members and making property changes. Just about anything you can do in the dim library can be automated.
