A scripted framework lends itself to consistency when creating an environment.
All actions that you can run from the administrative console can also be run using a script. There are existing IBM® service assets that should be used and customized for your specific needs. These scripts can then be maintained with each tuning exercise. In many cases when working in a test environment, you will often have to recreate the environment. A script is the most efficient way of implementing repeated actions, such as creating a test environment. The test system script can then modified for use to create the production system.
