Fatigue Load History Scripting

I am currently working on a fatigue problem with Ansys. I use Ansys Workbench and I would like to batch process the following procedure:

1. Go to Static Structural - Mechanical project
2. Go to Fatigue tool
3. Select a different Load History file (I have several different load histories)
4. Solve.
5. Repeat until solved for all load histories.

I tried to use journal recording to save these steps as a script. However, because of Ansys Mechanical being a data-integrated application it was not possible to do so.

According to one of Ansys tutorials I will probably need to use Command Window (Workbench feature) and SendCommand to pass native scripting commands to the data-integrated application. However, I am not an experienced user of Workbench Command Window (or IronPython) and I do not really know which command refers to obtaining (reading and changing) load history.

If you, dear user of eng-tips, know how to address this problem and want to share this knowledge I would be more than grateful to hear from you.
