One thing that may trip people up with this whole business of copying service from PDSE to PDSE is the prohibition against sharing across sysplex boundaries. We ran into this in my past life when we started really exploiting PDSEs.
Our operations people cheerfully applied maintenance to PDSE target libraries on sysplex 1 and then iebcopied the stuff into production PDSEs on shared DASD on sysplex 2. The deliriously delightful thing was that sometimes it looked like it worked and sometimes you got scrambled eggs. I had to physically show them the page from the book that says it doesn't work before they would believe it wasn't a bug in our code. So all other issues aside, I would be extremely wary of any library to library copy operation that even remotely smells of cross-sysplex "sharing".
