Happy May to everyone. I got the idea for this blog post from a client who wanted to maintain and manage HFM from CA-7 jobs; basically where you do things from a command line on a scheduled basis. HFM isn't really geared for that; but, there is a legendary, mythical way to do pretty much everything!
For versions prior to 11.1.2.4 there is a third party utility called HFM Batch that can be used to do this, but it doesn't work with 11.1.2.4. Fortunately there is a solution - from Oracle and included with HFM - and it goes all the way back to the early, early days of HFM. Some documentation I have on the technique is dated circa 2003.
So, what you do, is .....

Seriously, at KScope17 there is a presentation that covers this specific topic (Monday, 10:30am). I don't want to steal Beatrice's thunder, especially since she recently helped me with the topic, but she's going to cover it all then.
And to save $100 when registering, use code 123OLAP - you'll see a field where you can enter this.
Hope to see you in San Antonio!
P.S. Here's a sneak peek:
