It's developed using Python and uses some Shell Scripting. I'm a sysadmin not a developer so sorry if it is not looking great. Your help is important and kindly accept to improve the tool.
If you don't have an HMC and a Power to run tests, don't worry. I've an some code with simulation on createlparconf.py, newid.py. Directory simulation is available upon request.
