Model deployment AX 2012

Hi,

Recently I came across a very nice article "Model deployment among Multiple AOS Instance". Below script enables to deploy Model and perform all steps automatically like Starting service, application compilation, sync etc.
Steps:
  - Load AX Management scripts 
 - Stop the AOS
 - Clean up (delete layers)
 - Import new ax model
 - Start AOS
 - Do a sync
 - Do a compile
 - Do a CIL generation
 - You can not test your code

Script :
param(
    [string] $MODELPATH = $(throw "Model path required"),
    [string] $AXCONFIGPATH = $(throw "AX configuration file required"),
    [string] $MODELTODEPLOY = "PCGModel",
    [string] $DOAXSYNC = "y", 
    [string] $DOAXCOMPILE = "y", 
    [string] $LAYERSTOCLEAN = "",
    [long] $AXIMPORTTIMEOUT = 300000,
    [long] $AXSYNCTIMEOUT = 1800000,
    [long] $AXCOMPILETIMEOUT = 10800000
    )
