Export workbook – One sheet needs to be run first before all sheets can be

Question

I have “Init” sheet in a workbook, which sets the entered parameter values in DB context. Other worksheets query data based on the DB context value.
Now, I’m writing a DOS batch job to automatically export the workbook. The problem I’m facing is I can’t instruct Discoverer to run the “Init” sheet first.
So far I tried the following commands
c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect test#/dev@dec_db /opendb " Account.DIS" /Sheet Init,Test_1,Test_2 /parameter Acct_ID 0113 /parameter MV 40494801 /batch /export HTML "ELT_report_%today_date%.xls"
c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect test#/dev@dec_db /opendb " Account.DIS" /Sheet Init /Sheet ALL /parameter Acct_ID 0113 /parameter MV 40494801 /batch /export HTML "ELT_report_%today_date%.xls"

1. I don't have the command in front of me, but you have to run each command separately for each worksheet if that's what you need to do.
So, your first run would be something like:
c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect test#/dev@dec_db /opendb "Account.DIS" /Sheet Init /parameter Acct_ID 0113 /parameter MV 40494801 /batch /export HTML "ELT_report_%today_date%.xls"
while your second ... all runs would be to label each worksheet separately OR if you used the ALL, it would re-run Init again and may screw you up.
Sounds like you'll have to specify each separately if you're dependent on the order.
2. Alternatively, if you just used the ALL version and that's it (ie: put in /Sheet ALL by itself), then I thought that the first worksheet in a workbook (farthest left) would be the one to run first. If this is correct, then maybe this would work if you make sure of the worksheet ordering in the workbook.
