There’s an undocumented feature in AdminTool.exe that you can use the /command switch with a text file containing scripted commands to make changes to an RPD file (or create a new one).
It’s undocumented and UNSUPPORTED so be careful using it.
Some good details in these blog posts, especially Erik’s which has a good list of syntax.

I’m intrigued to know how the original posters figured out the commands available, if it’s undocumented… :)
[update] Just discovered that CAF uses this functionality in order to Consistency Check the altered RPD that it can create: CAF uses commandline script: C:\OracleBI\server\bin\AdminTool /command C:\CAF_Training\Target\Consistency.config [sourcecode language=‘bash’] Open C:\CAF_Training\Target\paint.rpd Administrator Administrator Hide ConsistencyCheck C:\CAF_Training\Target\ConsistencyCheck.log Exit [/sourcecode] [/update]
