Skip,
my current employer believes in doing just that:
applying to "live" system.
they don't believe in cloning, nor indirect cataloging.
coupled with that, we have a rather nonsupporting
security team.
there's plenty of landmines to be cleared ...

Cat skinning has always been more about result than process, but some
techniques are more trouble than others. We never rebuild IPL text on a
'live' sysres, that is, one that will actually be LOADed from. All
maintenance is installed on an SMPE-only target volume. IPL text is
rebuilt there, then the volume is cloned to a 'live' volume. I can't
recall ever having to dink around with the copy itself. That's why I
questioned in an earlier post whether the cloning process is set up
properly to include the track that contains the IPL text.
