Using scripts
A script is a predefined set of ordered steps that is needed to perform a
BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2
process.
Each task ID that you create uses a script. The script that you choose determines which panels are displayed and their sequence in creating and executing a Task ID.

Some scripts require existing Change Manager objects. For example, a script might require that an alter-type work ID with data structure changes specified in it exists. When you create a task ID that uses this script, you specify the alter-type work ID.
You select a script from the Script Selection List (see the following figure), which is displayed when you create a new Task ID.
