Project creation in an automated process

[csimms]

Hi,

My company is using DataStage version 5.2 and is trying to develop an installation program for setting up DataStage at a client's site. It currently does everything from installing DataStage to creating the database and connections that it will operate against. However, it is not able to create the actual project where we wish to house our already developed jobs. To this, I ask the question, is possible to create a project as part of some automated process? Can you run the Administrator in a silent mode whereby user logon data, project name, and an Add verb are passed to it. I do realize that the Administrator tool takes into account licensing issues such as project count, but feel that since you are able to install DataStage plus its license as part of a automated process, then you should also be able to add or modify projects as well. And bye the way, an initial call to DataStage's support department did not yield any results.
