If you have the space, just put this catalog on an empty volume, and then dump/restore the whole volume using DFDSS or FDR. You could also dump/restore just the dataset. You can also import/export using IDCAMS, but I always find this to be a little trickier... I've run into some issues with exporting and importing catalogs over the years, so I would recommend just doing the DUMP/RESTORE option.

These systems are in different SYSPLEXes and we can't share DASD between them (partly because of GDPS) so a shared ICF Catalog isn't possible. Is there a way to keep two ICF Catalogs on two different systems -- identical? (a small delay for being out-of-sync is ok) Of course, integrity is critical.
