"WSCP" is the [WebSphere] Control Program--WebSphere's [Java]-coded "console".  Structurally, it's similar to [OEM].
Since version 3.5 of WebSphere, WSCP has shipped with a (modified?)
[Jacl] 8.0 (1.2.5, in fact) (for WS 4.0, and maybe for 3.5) that permits Tcl-simple scripting of administrative actions.
WSCP is available only with the Commercial Version of WebSphere, NOT
any of the Single Servers or such.

The "Admin Console" is what WSAS users regard as the more traditional,
GUI-based administrative utility.

Faults reported for the WSCP Jacl:
   * artificial limit on effective [[exec]] line length (?)
   * [[file copy ...]] misbehavior
   * maybe lots of [[exec]] defects in WSCP for WS 3.5?
   * ...

IBM published an article entitled
"Tcl for WebSphere Application Server Administrators"
[http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/techjournal/0203_laird/laird.html].
IBM's rather weird about the product, though;
public relations staffers in the US repeatedly have told
[CL] that there's no product manager who can speak about WSCP.
