Metadata from Oracle BI Repository

Question

Hi everyone,
Anybody knows how to get the metadata from an Oracle repository? Is there any utility that can be run in batch? Or is there any API to do this?
Any help appreciated..
Thanks,

Pick what you are looking for and then look for it. For example, I'm looking for a user named findme.
D:\BIPv4\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Security\principals.xml found in this file.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<principals>
