Building Business Area through Command Line

Question

Hi --
Some of the adminstrator tasks such as...
1) Creating a folder
2) Creating a join
3) Creating a item class and attaching the item class to a filed
I would like to do these tasks eighter programtically (via PL/SQL) or through a command line script.
Just wondering whether discoverer has some APIs or commands which i can use to accomplish these tasks.
Any information regarding this would be really helpful.
Thanks

Hello,
I did try with the scripts given by you and the log says -
Exported the following Data:
Exported the following Business Areas:
     Payables
Exported the following Folders:
Exported the following Item classes:
Exported the following Item Hierarchies:
Exported the following Date Hierarchies:
Exported the following Functions:
Exported the following Summaries:
Exported the following Workbooks:
Exported the following Automated Summary Management Policies:
13/05/2008 13:49:07
Are you sure that complete business area has been exported?
When I tried with Administrator GUI, the log file contains list of all folder names, items,item classes etc. Even the Administrator Guide says :
/business_area
The /business_area modifier enables you to specify a business area for import, export or deletion
Information Details
Syntax:
/business_area <business area>
Notes:
When used with the /export command, this modifier only exports the business area definition (e.g. business area name and description).
If you want to export the entire business area (i.e. including folders, item classes, hierarchies etc), use with the /all modifier also
This can be found at - http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_02/command_line.htm#sthref1227
So, what is your say ? Shall I ignore the log file and go ahead and import it or something is missing in the scripts.
Thanks.
