Automating Keystore Renewal

[RajBedi]

Hi there,
I recently ran into an issue with a distributed installation of Cognos 8.
The issue was the expiry of the Cognos Keystore, which only seems to affect distributed installations (makes sense since you wouldn't want to constantly encrypt and decrypt on the same server.  I was just surprised the software was smart enough to recognize this).

The problem is described in detail here:

So following the above link we were able to resolve the issue by:
- Stopping Cognos 8
- Exporting the configuration
- Deleting the keystores
- Resaving the configuration to generate new keystores

I would like to automate this procedure.
Does anyone know if there is a way to export the configuration and generate new keystores via the command line?

Any other constructive suggestions on how to get past this problem are definitely welcome.
