Not true for IODF - which is a special case (I think the same is
also true for page data sets). Assuming the IODF volume is shared
by both systems, you do use DEFINE RECATALOG. This is how we share
the IODF between all our sysplexes and do dynamic activates.
Of course if someone were to move one of the IODFs from the
sysplex we maintain them on to another volume, we would have to
sync that up in the other master catalogs.
Here is a sample of the job I use to catalog the IODF dsns in
the "current" master catalog (we rotate between 4 IODFs). :
//JS010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=2M
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINE CLUSTER -
(NAME(SYS1.IODF00.CLUSTER ) -
VOLUMES(SYS019) -
RECATALOG -
LINEAR)
DEFINE CLUSTER -
(NAME(SYS1.IODF01.CLUSTER ) -
VOLUMES(SYS019) -
RECATALOG -
LINEAR)
... etc
