Our enterprise ROT is to share everything in a plex that can be shared. With help from symbolics and variables. One MCAT per plex regardless of number of systems. UCATs shared only within a plex. And unlike some shops, we reuse all catalogs indefinitely across z/OS upgrades and reconfigurations. Our main production catalog was created 1983.193.
