There is information in Appendix E. But I'm not sure I understand you question. It sounds like as if you are asking if swapping between an A and B set method is better than always putting on maintenance to a "maintenance sysres" and then cloning an IPL-able sysres (with a matching target zone hopefully). If so, both methods are fine and I have used the former in smaller shops but in larger shops I have always used the latter method. Of course there is lots of opinions about this stuff in the archives.
