Cubeswap / cube rebuilds

[ramsfan]

All ,

We are just getting started with the transformer and analysis studio (Cognos 8) products and are looking to automate many processes including data extracts and cube rebuilds.
We are aware of the cubeswap.bat process , but there does not appear to be any documentation with it or available from the Cognos Knowledgebase that makes much sense .
Has anyone got this working and can anyone assist with what should be in the various parameters.

The alternative of stopping the Cognos 8 service whilst rebuilds take place is not an option we can use.

Are there any other solutions - how is everyones else rebuilding/refreshing cubes automatically

thanks in advance

secured cube:
  cubeswap.bat -dispatchername="http://<hostname>:9300" -datasource="great_outdoors_company" -url="http://<hostname>:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch" -username=<user> -password=<password> -namespaceid=<namespace> -unixcube="/<path>/<cubename.mdc>"
