Hi Joachim,
Mart construction, configuration and server deployment are all fully
automated. The build process is assisted by MartBuilder (see martj) and
configuration is done using MartEditor (see martj). Once you have
established your mart, from release to release, all you need is really a
rerun (one click job, unless you modify the view of your source or mart
schema). Having your own scripts to automate the process is certainly
possible, however not recommended as long as MartBuilder can do the job.
Hope this helps, please feel free to write back in case you need further
assistance.
Best,
Syed

Hello,
I am struggling with building a mart that resembles the
ensembl_mart_52 (or any other version). I managed to set up simple
marts myself, where I relied on BioMart's good documentation. However,
it is not clear to me how I would set up bigger and more complex
marts. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial for setting up my own
version of ensembl_mart_52?
Also, is there a way to automate the process of mart creation? Unless
it is trivial to set up ensembl_mart_52, I would rather rely on a set
of scripts or similar to repeat the mart building process for the
Ensembl version 53 database.
Thanks,
Joachim
