Oh, and did I mention that this is done on a LIVE system? We have no
time or personnel to 'clone' systems, switch between res packs, etc. for
regular maintenance.

OK, Ed, I gotta say it:  Tick...tick...tick...

There are cloning samples in SAMPLIB and of course the z/OSMF Software Deployment function you can use for cloning. I wouldn't expect that after a short learning curve it should take you long to make a clone.

In the meantime, I hope you have backups and a tested standalone restore recovery path! (One of my favorite SHARE buttons is "Blessed are the pessimists, for they have made backups.")
