Answer 1

Perl sample available in documentation : http://www.iccube.com/support/documentation/user_guide/using/cube_management.php (in the end of document).

Curl basic auth handled using '--user' argument

Bash sample:

  #!/bin/bash

  URL="http://localhost:8282/icCube/xmla"
  COMMAND="LIST_SCHEMA"

  echo ${COMMAND}

  curl --header "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" \
  --header "SOAPAction:urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis#Execute" \
  --user admin:admin --data @- ${URL} <
    
      
    
      
          ${COMMAND}
      
    
      
  
  EOF

Note: Make sure there isn't any whitespace after the closing EOF or the API will return a SOAP syntax error.
