That's not true in our case. We share the IODF between two sysplexes, it is cataloged in a user catalog that is connected to the master catalogs of all systems in both sysplexes. We have a couple very limited use catalogs for that kind of system resource - SMPE zones for example. Of course, they're used just by Tech so if somebody does something silly we know who to wave our arms at.

We plan however to share the IODF among the different SYSPLEX environments. We will create seperate CF Development LPARs and share it using WEIGHTs with the Production CF LPARs. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
