Planning utility

Question

Hi,
under the folder Planning\bin ypu can find a lot of utility like:
SortMember.cmd
UpdateUsers.cmd
MemberFormulaSync.cmd
and so on...
Unfortunately i can't find in the documentation (Planning Admin Guide) how these utility works (except for import/export security)and in which way it's possible use its.
Does anybody works with that utility?
Where can i find any documentation on it?
Thanks in advance
Stefano

Update Users
If you move users and groups, their identities (SIDs) change, and unless you synchronize their identities between Planning and Shared Services, their assigned access permissions are lost.
UpdateUsers.cmd utility with update the SIDs in Planning with Shared Services
Usage :- updateusers.cmd serverName adminName passWord applicationName

Member Formula Sync
Will sync the formulas in a planning application with essbase
Usage :- MemberFormulaSync /A:appname
Hope this helps
