Can I run RapidMiner in "batch mode"?

Question

I know it can be invoked from a command line and I believe you can pass it a process to load.  What I mean by "batch" is, can I write a script which invokes RapidMiner, specifying a process and a dataset on the command line, and have it export charts for the data without user interaction?

If you don't want to invest into the Enterprise Edition of RapidAnalytics, you may want to have a look at the Reporting extension of RapidMiner. Additionally, you could also write the data to disk from within your processes (e.g. with Write CSV) and call gnuplot on that data with the Execute Program operator.

I am sorry that we do not meet your requirements. RapidMiner itself concentrates on the design of processes and the analysis of data. For automation and reporting we use RapidAnalytics which can schedule processes automatically and build report-sites from the analysed data (enterprise edition only). Maybe it is worth a try for you.

That's disappointing that you can't export charts from the command line.  I realize RapidMiner is a big swiss army chainsaw but all I want it to automate some report/chart generation.  I need access to charting and advanced charting to do that effectively.  If I was going to use gnuplot, I could do that directly, the analysis that I'm doing in RM is quite light weight and I could do it in SQL, perl, or awk.
