Don’t know if you have LPARs designated at TEST, DEV and PROD, but another
variation is to incorporate the use of system symbols. You could have a
/shared/TECH/tools /shared/DEV/tools, and /shared/prod/tools, and instead of
the ln -s /shared/tools /usr/local, you could use ln -s
'$SYSSYMA/shared/&ENV./tools' /usr/tools assuming you have a system symbol
defined like &ENV=TECH, or &ENV=DEV , or &ENV=PROD
Then your mount statements would be
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('USER.&ENV..TOOLS')
TYPE(ZFS)
MODE(read) UNMOUNT
MOUNTPOINT('/shared/&ENV./tools')
This would allow you to have a version of your TOOLS filesystem by environment.
A USER.TECH.TOOLS, USER.DEV.TOOLS, and USER.PROD.TOOLS so that you are not
affecting all environments at once with a change to USER.TOOLS.

Thanks for your response, David.
USER.TOOLS is not part of the z/OS-maintained file system. It's something we
maintain internally.
I do have my VERSION values set as you noted.
Replacing sub-directory 'local' with a symlink looks like it will work for us.
Thank you!
