Frequently modified production libraries is, I hope, somewhat atypical. Nevertheless, I would have said -- you can cache the directory or not Regardless, you get caching of often-used modules. And if you're willing to participate, you can get the best of both worlds by asking to cache the directory but notifying LLA when you have updated members. Refreshing all of LLA could be done; updating the entire library could be done. But both of those are overkill and will negatively affect performance. Best is to use LLACOPY or MODIFY LLA to update its information about the specific updated modules. Note that it is intentional that LLA does not attempt to track automatically what has been updated and do something about it. Doing so could potentially cause application failures due to mismatched levels of modules.
