    Thank you for submitting this idea to IBM. However, before we respond to the idea, can you please provide more information about your "routine maintenance tasks" that you wish to automate so we can understand the context in which you would use the identified SMP/E commands? Are you cloning or backing up the SMP/E target zone prior to applying maintenance? Is that the task you wish to automate? If so, how do you accomplish this today? Thank you for any detail you can provide.
