Jake, We use one HLQ for most of the DB2 data sets on z/OS. ICFCATALOGs are only defined once for all DB2 environments. We do not define a new catalog with upgrades or new installs. Only one Usercat. An ICF Cat belongs to SMS and not DB2 environment. I would expect it to following the same standards that your shop currently uses for any product that has an HLQ.
I think this will depend more one your recovery and DR processes at your shop. Please let us know what your understanding of IC F Catalogs and their usage.
