If you're talking about just flashing datasets or volumes for local purposes (not involving replication), then that's a different (and simpler) story. But because you mention TPCR, my presumption is that you're talking about a DR replication scenario.
By "automate" I take you to mean that you want a flash to be initiated in response to either a certain time or a certain event, other than replication breaking itself. E.G. you want to schedule an I2 to H2 flash at 3:05 am tomorrow for part of your DR testing so you don't have to get up and click the button yourself. As far as I can tell, there's no way to do that. Of course there is also DSCLI and the TSO utilities. I'm certain that there are DSCLI command(s) to initiate the flash--in theory you can do everything from DSCLI without TPCR. But the nomenclature for the volume sets is apparently different between DSCLI and TPCR. And a simple single click in TPCR may end up being multiple DSCLI commands. But DSCLI is probably where I'd start looking.
