Advantages of a consolidate task

These are some advantages to running a consolidation using the Consolidate page:

• It is more user-friendly; that is, no knowledge of scripting syntax is required.
• You can run on-the-fly consolidations.
• You can create a template consolidation request and record it in the log file. You can cut and paste this file into your scripting interface to become part of a more complex script.
• Most users never need the power and complexity of a consolidation script.
